PRO TIP: When reading the early Reformers, and they say Christ β€œDIED FOR all sufficiently” or β€œSUFFERED FOR all sufficiently,” they are not merely referring to the mere intrinsic worth. Do not let biases and old bad scholarship dictate what these theologians actually affirmed.

β€œHence the Reformed, accused of such absurdity and impiety, not only openly declare: God is by no means the author of sin, nor its instigator (Molin., Anatom. Arminian. c. 3, Β§ 4), but they also, in opposition to those who teach otherwise, pronounce an anathema. Thus Wendelin,
