Bible Note: Dear dody, Remember, every word is in the context of a sentence, every sentence in the context of a passage, every passage in the context of a book. The greatest interpreter of Scripture is Scripture. The historic use of passages like John 12:32, Philippians 2:10-11, and 1 Timothy 2:4 to support universalism is untenable at best and specious at worst. Particularly so in the light of such passages as Matthew 13:30; 49; 25:32; 46; Luke 3:17; 16:26; John 8:42-44; 15:6; Acts 16:31; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; etc. etc. The Scripture clearly delineates a distinction between believer/unbeliever, wheat/tares, sheep/goats, saved/lost, etc. and their disparate ultimate destinations. Pastor Samson is rendering a sound and orthodox interpretation. May I ask, with what group or denomination with which you study? Your approach sounds familiar. In Him, Doc |
