janxharris:
If 'world' doesn't mean what the average Joe would think it means then there is a disjunct between what is preached and what is understood.
Skala:
It's not important what the average Joe thinks it means. It's important what the Apostle John intended for it to mean (authorial intent).

Since it was not fully discussed, I thought it would be worthwhile giving this it's own thread.
I remain shocked by Skala's response and I am not aware that any Calvinist has reproved him.
