The Doctrine of Limited Atonement/Particular Redemption

The Doctrine of Limited Atonement/Particular Redemption: A rich man walks into a doughnut shop and sees a bunch of doughnuts that are all equally nasty looking, stale, cold, and rotten. He has enough money to buy all the doughnuts, but he just wants a dozen doughnuts of the 50 that are left. So he picks 13 that he wants: $13.50 after tax. He throws down a $100 bill for the 13 doughnuts he picked. He could have bought all the doughnuts, but he just buys the 13 he wants and went in to get. No more, no less, even though he could have paid for them all. His $100 doesn't buy him all of them because he only wanted 13. He just pays for the doughnuts he picks.
