Did all the world go after Christ? [Note: In the following quote the discussion is not about the English word all. Rather it is a discussion of the meaning(s) of the Greek word that is translated all in the English NT.] NASB Luke 6:30 "Give to everyone (3956) who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Strong's Number: 3956 Transliterated Word: Pas 'Definition '1. individually a. each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything '2. collectively a. some of all types '..."the whole world has gone after him" Did all the world go after Christ? '"then went all Judea, and were baptized of him in Jordan." Was all Judea, or all Jerusalem, baptized in Jordan? '"Ye are of God, little children, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one". Does the whole world there mean everybody? 'The words "world" and "all" are used in some seven or eight senses in Scripture, and it is very rarely the "all" means all persons, taken individually. The words are generally used to signify that Christ has redeemed some of all sorts -- some Jews, some Gentiles, some rich, some poor -- and has not restricted His redemption to either Jew or Gentile...'

To correct a typo in my post 168869 -- For those who caught it, as I'm sure you did, Kalos, the Bard's name is spelled Shakespeare, not Shakespere as in the cited post. For those who failed to catch the typo, well, read more carefully next time! And for those who don't know or care who Shakespeare was, I apologize for disturbing your afternoon nap. :-) --Hank | ||||||
