Limited Atonement - is it Biblical?

However, sinners do get some benefits.

Mercy and grace are not attributes of God?

Right. The Bible clearly teaches that the means by which God can remain Just and still extend mercy and grace, is by the sacrifice of His Son on the Cross. You can read Romans for more details.

Mercy and Grace are not attributes of God... Love is.

Deliverance need not be a reference to eternal salvation.

That He is the only savior...not religion, not our works, not the blood of bulls...

He is the savior of all men in a similar way that oxygen is the life sustaining air of all men. Fill any morgue with it but it remains unprofitable to a corpse which has neither the capacity to inhale nor the sense to know to do so.

1Tim.4:10 Does not say that Christ is the "potential" Savior of all men. It says he is the Savior of all men. Savior means deliverer. How has he delivered the whole world?

So in your view does the combination "panton anthropon" (all men) always refer to each and every individual?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, that would be contingent upon the context. Do you have some verses in mind?

Where is it clearly taught that mercy and grace are not attributes of God? What I mean by this is in the numersous text that talk of the mercy of God and the grace f God, I see not indication that htese were not attributes before the the cross. All I see is that the cross was the agency through which He expressed these attributes fully to men
