The question is rather simple.....When viewed in Context and by Context does the word all means ALL?
Rather simple...LIKE
1. I was talking to a bunch of neighbors and ALL of them were listening<----does this mean ALL my neighbors or does this mean ALL of my neighbors that I was talking to?
2. ALL of the saved will be in the presence of GOD<----Some of the saved or ALL of the saved will be in the presence of GOD?
and the many other examples listed....POINT being when all is viewed in and by Context it means ALL, and GOD is the one who inspired the use of ALL in all of it's various uses and contexts that ALL is found in........!

I agree with you and again I did qualify my OP by asking the question based upon Context and viewed through CONTEXT....So........God obviously INSPIRED the HOLY men of GOD who gave the scriptures...so HOW do we Jive an inspired statement that cannot be true if through out ALL the world was not literally meant?<-------JUST a question...so don't jump to a conclusion that I am saying that the quote is false or misleading.....
As a matter of fact this question is for everyone......
Does this mean throughout ALL the KNOWN world to the disciples...does this mean through out ALL the land of (Palestine) etc........?
HOW can we determine what is actually meant if what was written was not actually meant?
I have a hard time believing that GOD would inspire VAGUE words and or a context that we can only guess at or surmise over....!

It's not hard to understand what you are saying. When discussing the word of God context is important. ALL scripture presented should be considered by ALL who contribute. Superfluous remarks that continue post after post can be disregarded. Scripture compared with other scripture must be considered as cohesive to itself. Truth is never achieved by using only certain scriptures to endorse doctrines of man that are contradictory with ALL scripture in CONTEXT. Nothing of the truth is against itself, so ALL things are to be considered, explained and confirmed with other scripture in order for edification to be enhanced according to God's will. Those actions are graceful to say the least, because a house divided against itself cannot stand.
This is not what you said in the first post....so did I misunderstand what you wrote in your first post.....
