Subject: Every single person? |
Bible Note: Hello David! I am doing fine. Thanks for asking. The term "all" cannot mean everyone in a universal sense (every single person), Because we know that many will spend eternity apart from Christ. We also know that every one whose name has been written down in the Lamb's Book of Life will be saved. I must conclude, based on these facts, that "all" refers to every single person that God has chosen unto eternal life i.e. the elect of God. I must get to workn now, but I will look forward to your reply. Your Brother, John |
