Here’s where else it’s used.Does "draw" in this context not mean "entice" ?
Correct.Does "draw" in this context not mean "entice" ?
That, and you need to completely change the definition.I'm outta here because this has been going on too long.
It means something different in each case.That, and you need to completely change the definition.
It always means a force applied to something. It never means attract. And just because you misunderstand John 12:32, it doesn’t mean that it results in universalism.It means something different in each case.
If it means drag,,,then John 12:32 is universalism.
You know the story...
Can't argue this anymore H,,,,it tires me.
What don't I understand aboutIt always means a force applied to something. It never means attract. And just because you misunderstand John 12:32, it doesn’t mean that it results in universalism.
I’m not sure if you know this, but “all” had two acceptable meanings, both of which are used all throughout scripture.What don't I understand about
John 12:32?
32“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
NASB
All Men: Without regard to nationality, ethnic affiliation, or status.
32 And when I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw everyone to me.”
The Living Bible
Everyone: Without regard to nationality, ethnic affiliation or status.
If DRAW means to DRAG,,,
then it certainly does mean universalism.
What's the other meaning?I’m not sure if you know this, but “all” had two acceptable meanings, both of which are used all throughout scripture.
It can mean all of one thing or all types of something.What's the other meaning?
Then “all” in John 12:32 could mean all types of men, and no harm would be done to the verse. The context even suggests it.I agree.
Yes,,,it could mean all types of men.Then “all” in John 12:32 could mean all types of men, and no harm would be done to the verse. The context even suggests it.
No. It could mean people from all nations, and not just the Jews.Yes,,,it could mean all types of men.
What would the difference be?
Doesn't ALL TYPES OF MEN
still mean ALL men?
Agreed.No. It could mean people from all nations, and not just the Jews.
