So what does "All" mean in Rom 3:23? Those using Rom 3:23 probably want to emphasize that the verse clearly indicates "all" people - there are no exceptions - but will likely quickly make exceptions...
Does "all" mean:
•All humans conceived? That would include aborted humans who get robbed of a chance to be born. They are sinners and get no chance to repent, since they are dismembered before birth.
•All who have been conceived and are born/birthed into the world at about 9 months? That would include babies and toddlers, some who die before they are make any choices to sin.
•All who reach the "age of accountability"?
In 1854 The Pope of the Catholic Church declared that Mary was born without sin. I find it a little hard to believe that after 1500 years of studying the Scriptures, the Catholics suddenly discover that Mary was born sinless. Any of the seemingly few RC who knows his/her church history will tell you that they have believed it for long before 1854, but they finally made it dogmatic in that year to officially "carve in stone" something they've long believed. It wasn't, then, an 1854 discovery. Martin Luther, a former RC, apparently agreed with the RCC 300 years earlier, even after protesting other RC beliefs.
I would disagree "All" according as scriptures infallibly informs us means; "
as many" as the father gave, they alone will come.
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him
power "over"
all flesh, that he should give "eternal life" to
as many as thou hast given him.
That authority/power to believe God that he has over (not under) flesh (earthen vessel)of course includes the flesh of our blessed by the great mercy of God, sister in the Lord, Mary. Just as it was not of blessed Mary it is not of any of His blessed born again children
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be
of God,
and not
of us.
Mary to show she lived in a corrupted body it aged in a process of dying leading to destruction of the body that returns to the lifeless, spiritless dust, as the elements of this corrupted world. She is like any other Christian as a lively stone used that makes up the spiritual house of God as His eternal bride. God is no respect of the clay He form Christ in.It comes from the same dust.
Because as it would seem the Catholics follow another gospel or I would think are in dark place . The
as many to them ,it would seem would be
all that are pronounced sainthood by their what they must call Holy Father ,Holy Papa, Holy See as a daysman according to the scriptures ,called by them Pope. No man Holy Father on earth..This is even though scripture, the authority of God clearly warns them not to call any man on earth your father For one is our Father of spirits in heaven to.Their are 3500 and rising disembodied workers with as familiar spirit that the pew Catholic under the authority of their kind of fathers must call patron saints. Doing some research we can the legion picking up speed increasing in number
