Bible Note: Greetings John! I dismissed it for three reasons! 1) I showed you from other verses where the phrase 'His people' refered to Israel. 2) The phrase is not defined in the passage. 3) It still does not say that Christ did not die for all men. A passage which speaks of a subgroup does not automatically exclude the larger group unless specifically stated elsewhere. So, to say that I love you, does not necesarilly mean that I love no one else! :-) This 'one' verse does not say that Christ did not die for all or that He did not die for some, while I listed for you many verses which specifically say that He died for all. Why this is so hard to accept is beyond me! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
