Bible Note: Greetings John! So, let's compare two verses my friend: Mt. 1:21 - "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." 1 Tim. 2:6 - "who gave himself as a ransom for all men?the testimony given in its proper time." Could 'His people' include all men? Where is 'His people' defined in the text? I looked up the phrase 'his people' and it looks like every occurance is a reference to Israel. But even if it isn't, the term is not defined. So, on the basis of the vague phrase 'His people', I am supposed to gather that 'all men' doesn't really mean 'all men'? I'm not sure which verse you are referencing about God's wrath, but my general answer would be: 2 Cor. 5:14-15 - "For Christ?s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. " Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
