Bible Note: Appleseed and JVH0212, let me interject ... JVH01212, you are correct. Promises can be temporal for a group, permanent for a group, or for everyone. -Luke 9:1 is promise temporal for the 12, as He was sending them out to preach (vv 2-6). In Mark 16:17-18, He make the same promise, then goes on to say they can pick up snakes, drink deadly poison and other things. I doubt you try these two. -The promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, 15:1-21, 17:1-21 and 22:16-18 refer to Israel alone and will never be revoked. -The promise of all who that believe will be saved is for all men. John 3:16 is one verse that comes to mind. Understand the context of the entire Bible to know to whom the promise is made ... and for how long. Steve |
