How about I ask You a question.....I gave you how many scriptures in context that prove that Jesus paid the price for everyone, all of creation and the whole order of things....do you think that ONE verse alleviates all of the other verses in context?
Google it, look it up in a concordance or open your Greek New testament....the word is KOSMOS (sometimes I type COSMOS) and means the whole order of things....God loved everything that he made.....
1. ALL OF CREATION GROANS AND TRAVAILS waiting for the adoption!
2. ALL things will be made NEW
3. In due time CHRIST died for THE UNGODLY
4. God would have ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth
5. ...God who is the savior of ALL MEN, specially of those that BELIEVE
6. To wit, God was in CHRIST, reconciling the WORLD unto himself
7. And having made peace through the bold of the cross, by him to reconcile ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF; by him I say, whether they be things IN THE EARTH, or things in HEAVEN
The word is clear....no offence, but I suggest you adjust your theology as the words ALL MEN, ALL THINGS, THE WORLD, THE UNGODLY, ALL of CREATION, THE KOSMOS are clear...........
I have attempted to interpret all of the scriptures that you have given me without any of them contradicting each other, can you do the same? I don not think that any verse alleviates other verses in context and have explained to you how they all fit together in perfect harmony. Can you, with the way you interpret scripture, make all of them harmonize without any contradictions? Such as, John 6:39, 1 Cor 2:14, Dan 4:35, Rom 9:11-13, 1 Pet 1:1-4, Rom 9:21-23, Eph 1:4-6, Rom 8:7-9, John 17:2, just to name a few.[/QUOTE]
Look bro...this is a dead end with you.....the words bolded above and below prove my point sufficiently
ALL<--creation groans and travails waiting for the adoption
ALL<--things will be made new
THE UNGODLY<---Christ died for THE ungodly<--definite article is indicative of ALL of the ungodly
ALL men<--God would have ALL be saved...not possible unless Christ died for ALL MEN
ALL MEN<--Chris is the savior of ALL MEN<---but APPLIED to those who believe<--point above made
THE WORLD<--Christ reconciled the ENTIRE WORLD UNTO HIMSLF
ALL THINGS<---ON EARYT and IN HEAVEN is indicative of ALL THINGS not some...Reconciled by the blood and peace of the cross
It is rather simple....Christ paid the entire debt, check, what was due for ALL THINGS, ALL OF HUMANITY, THE ENTIRE EARTH and reconciled it all unto HIMSELF and THE FATHER.....THE SALVATION, justification and sanctification that is found within Christ is offered unto ALL who will believe it by faith......
What is so hard to understand about that.........It is a blending of what we both are saying....No view can chunk the words found in bold above......ever....! The language is clear.....
