1 | Is "the whole world" localized/ global? | Matt 24:14 | Searcher56 | 78820 | ||
Is the whole world just the Roman Empire? If so ... do we no longer need to preach the Gospel. since this is fulfilled? ... what does "all the nations" nations mean? - Was there more than one nation in the Roman Empire? ... while it is onlt tradition, some the apostles left the sphere of the oman Empire Surely this speaks of the whole world, since not a single individual will escape God's judgment. I also think about the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-39). Since he lived outside the Roman Empire, why would God want the Gospel preached to him? |

Searcher, why are you asking this question, you know the answer??? All men is just that, all men.... 1 Tim 2:1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. philemcc |

4 | did He die for you also? | Matt 24:14 | philemcc | 78847 | ||
I would think that anyone who limited salvation to a Roman empire that they would have to define, would be very narrow minded. This would start a whole new theological debate. What constitutes the modern Roman empire, hence who is included or how could one become a citizen in good standing? Is this group of people determined by geography or heritage? It could go on and on in endless debate which would accomplish absolutely nothing except establish some as the undisputed authority over something of no importance. We, you and I and other believers, have a responsibility to be inclusive in our relationship to others, you know salt, light, love one another and all that stuff. We don’t have to prove others wrong we only need to do what Jesus said, “But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." We only need to say, “Jesus died for me did He die for you?” philemcc |
