"Limited Atonement"

1st John 1:22, “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” The Gospel is this, 1Peter 3:18 “Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God”. This is the preeminent message Christ wants the world to hear. There is no Biblical basis for Calvinism’s “Limited Atonement”. It teaches that the Gospel offers false hope to all those who can never, under any circumstance, be forgiven of sin.

Until an unsaved person has first been indoctrinated with the nuances of Calvinism, should they even be permitted to read the New Testament and perhaps be deluded into thinking God sent His Son into the world to die for everyone?
