"Christ is never said to have borne the sins of the world. It is utterly false doctrine; it is universalism. He bore the sins of His people, and He has done a work in virtue of which every trace of sin shall yet be abolished throughout the wide universe of God."CH Mackintosh, "Atonement," at http://www.stempublishing.com/authors/mackintosh/Shrt/SHORTP10.html
What a great quote!
