Atonement limited or general?

Chalcedon said:
the Atonement is universal in scope( sufficient for all) and limited in efficacy ( efficient for some) . I believe @ReverendRV is in agreement.

One might say the Atonement is limited by Unbelievers; so it is LTD...

The argument is not that the Atonement is limited; but why it's limited...

John 11,
Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.

When I say Israel to this group, I expect it to understand that it's Spiritual Israel...

But you may like this. The Atonement is unlimited because Jesus is the Second Adam; who was a Gentile. This may tempt you to embrace Covenant Theology though. The Adamic Covenant and the Mosaic Covenant were Covenants of Works, and Jesus Kept the Adamic Covenant by Keeping the Mosaic Covenant. So long story short, as in Adam All die; All are (can be) made Alive. The unlimited Scope of Original Sin's reach is paralleled by the unlimited Scope of the Gospel's reach...

But though this is true, the Atonement is still limited to Spiritual Israel...

That’s your doctrine once again the Bible never states the atonement is for “ spiritual “ Israel.

Scriptures to consider:

Colossians 1
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

Roman's 5:
For when we were still without strength, ]in due time Christ died for the ungodly.....

Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men,
resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more

2 Corinthians 5
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

I’ll go with a particular atonement.

John 10:24-29
So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

That does nothing at all to teach a limited scope of the atonement

Rather it looks like you confound the extent of the atonement (who did Christ die for) with the application of the atonement (who was saved by it)

Christ died for those given to Him out of the world, only.

Had He paid the debt for those in hell, they wouldn't be in hell.

Christ is saving His people, ONLY, from their sins (Mt 1:21).

That addresses it.
