1 | Did Christ die for the world? | 1 John 2:2 | Morant61 | 6690 | ||
Greetings Retxar! You make some excellent points. There are many passages where words like (all, the world, every, whosoever, ect...) are used. I think there are a few where the context may indicate a narrower focus, but I think the majority mean exactly what they say. One of my favorites verse combo's is the one you refered to in John 6:44. John 6:44 says, "‘‘No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." Now compare that verse to John 12:32, which says, "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” The word 'draw' in both verses is exactly the same Greek word. I don't see anyway to understand these two verse other than a real offer of salvation to every individual. One good thing though, both Calvanists and Arminians get to the same point through different paths. In the end, God graciously saves. God Bless, Tim Moran |

2 | Did Christ die for the world? | 1 John 2:2 | Ray | 6695 | ||
Hi Tim, You have pointed out that both the Father and Son are necessary for the drawing to Himself. "AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD." John 6:45,"Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. Not that anyone has seen the (Father)..."(Parenthesis mine for comparison and contrast) John 12:45 "He who see Me sees the (One) who sent Me. I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness." Later, Ray |
