Were The Angels Made as Beasts of The Field?

Q: My question is about the L in TULIP – limited Atonement. I have had trouble wrapping my mind around this and reconciling it with some of scripture. RC Sproul’s term definite atonement has helped me and I think it is probably a more accurate term. But would like to hear what Dr. E has to say about this doctrine and scripture to support it.
Christ died for sinners, not sin. Limited Atonement is a definite or particular redemption. We see this in John 10:15, Acts 20:28, Romans 8:32. The efficacy of Jesus blood and the sins it covers is only for the elect; It is limited in scope.
