Bible Note: Does "all" always mean "all"? Here's a couple of examples where it does not. 1) Let's read Paul’s words at 2 Timothy 1:15, evidently written from Rome about the year 65 C.E., and may indicate that the strong persecution then beginning to rage against the Christians on the part of the Roman authorities had now caused many of the Christian ‘men of Asia’ to shun association with the imprisoned apostle Paul, turning away from Paul at a critical time. The expression “all the men in the district of Asia” can not imply a total turning away of all Christians in Asia, because Paul immediately thereafter commended Onesiphorus, who was evidently a resident of Ephesus. 2Ti 1:16-18; 4:19. 2) Jesus' words as found at Mr 14:36, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.” Yet, Titus 1:2 tells us that "God cannot lie". Thus "all" must be relative in certain situations. Truthfinder |
