1 | Praying for the 'World'. | Matt 5:44 | Morant61 | 163669 | ||
Greetings Doc! Somehow you have missed my point my friend. I am arguing that the pronouns really do mean what they actually say, not what someone wants to add to them. 'Any' really means 'any' and 'Everyone' really means 'everyone'. :-) Speaking of plain sense, how about 1 Tim. 2:3-4: "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." Does 'all men' here mean 'all men' or does it mean 'some men'? How about 1 John 2:2? Does 'whole world' mean 'whole world' or does it mean 'some of the world'? I know what the 'plain sense' will be for you given your perspective, but please don't imply that those who differ with your perspective are unlearned (especially when they are sticking to the plain sense)! :-) p.s. - By the way, I have some really good news...! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Praying for the 'World'. | Matt 5:44 | DocTrinsograce | 163844 | ||
PS Brother Tim, verse 16 does, actually, mention the unlearned. :-) However, for the edification of our readers, I will mention that I have found at least one Godly man of note who uses 2 Peter 3:9 -- although without explanation -- the way you do: John Wesley. That should be an encouragement in the light of so many other Godly men of note who have interpreted it differently. | ||||||
3 | Praying for the 'World'. | Matt 5:44 | Morant61 | 163846 | ||
Greetings Doc! I'll deal with the p.s. first since it is shorter! ;-) There are far more than just Wesley and I who understand this verse in this manner! But, he is excellent company! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Then why be so loathe to name them? :-) | ||||||
5 | Praying for the 'World'. | Matt 5:44 | Morant61 | 163855 | ||
Greetings Doc! You are joking? Right? Find any commentary that is not written by a Calvinist and you will see my view represented. :-) Besides, what does dualing quotes accomplish? The text quite plainly says what it says. ;-) I don't need a commentator to explain to me that 'all' means 'all'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
