4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
It would appear to me that the Who (God our Savior) wants ALL men to be saved (verse 4), Who gave Jesus Christ to be the mediator between God and man (Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for ALL, not just the elect).
It would appear that this passage contradicts unconditional election and irresistable grace. For if God will have all men be saved, and gave Christ as a ransom for all, then wouldn't God extend His unconditional election and irresistable grace upon all men.
Furthermore, if Christ gave Himself a ransom for ALL, then wouldn't that contradict limited atonement?
