I believe ALL means ALL when USED in CONTEXT.......HOW MANY of you agree or disagree with ALL meaning ALL when USED in CONTEXT

Again the KEY is CONTEXT.......YEA or NAY......

No links, no videos, but a simple YES or NO and WHY!

ALL is used from time to time as an all inclusive but it is also used many times in limited context.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

And he does and will draw ALL people unto himself in two manners....

The saved to be rewarded and the LOST to be judged from the LAW and found guilty!

2 Peter 3:9 [SUP] [/SUP]The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

This means He desires all to do so, not that He will regardless. God's not willing that any perish, but men have different ideas. :)

I agree and will also add that God's desire is that ALL men would come to the knowledge of the truth, but as you pointed out not ALL will, but ALL used here means ALL....Thanks for the reply! As in HIS desire is for ALL HAHA

2 Timothy 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

Of course implied is 'all' within Paul's circle.

NAY. . .because there are contexts where it cannot be literal.

If you are saying we must answer the question as if we were working with a computer that uses only the on/off of electricity, then it is a simple NO. Scripture is written in spirit and truth by a God who is of the spirit and uses the physical world for communicating the spirit. We are NEVER to read a scripture legalistically and without seeing how it fits with other scriptures. The word all, read as a word standing alone without any other words in a sentence, is never to be read that way in scripture.

"All" is one of the more simpler words we have people. But to fit your various doctrines you would even change its meaning.

Simple words do not necessarily mean simplistic thinking.

"All" is not always used as all-inclusive, "all" can also mean everything of a limited context, or under Gods dominion. In 2 Chronicles 36:23, Cyrus' empire is said to have encompassed "all the kingdoms of the earth." But there were kingdoms in the Far East which were surely not included. Acts 11:28 speaks of a famine "throughout all the world,"[FONT=ARIAL,HELVETICA,SANS-SERIF] yet its not likely it really meant the whole world. [/FONT]
