Bible Note: Greetings Joseph3! Great, another Joe! :-) I'm going to have to hurry my friend. I am in the process of moving, so I don't have much time today. :-( g) 1 Tim. 2:6 - My short answer is that unless the adjective 'all' is modified in some way, it means 'all'. For instance, a verse can refer to 'all of you', or 'all believers', ect.... However, in these verses 'all' is not limited in anyway. Would you also make the case in Rom. 3:23 that 'all' only means 'all classes of men'? ;-) Further, there is a way of saying 'all kinds of men', if that was what God had intended. It just seems to me that we should read 'all' when it says 'all'. I've got to run! Let me close with this question: If God only died for the elect, where is the verse that says that He only died for the elect? I look forward to interacting more with you in the future when I have more time. I too have a 9-5 job, but it is 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
