The Radical All

[FineLinen]

All = pa’ß =

Radically means “all.”

Used without the article it means “every,” every kind or variety. So the RV marg. in Eph. 2:21, “every building,” and the text in Eph. 3:15, “every family,” and the RV marg. of Acts 2:36, “every house;”

or, it may signify “the highest degree,” the maximum of what is referred to, as, “with all boldness” Acts 4:29.

Before proper names of countries, cities and nations, and before collective terms, like “Israel,” it signifies either “all” or “the whole,” e.g., Matt. 2:3; Acts 2:36.

Used with the article, it means the whole of one object.

In the plural it signifies “the totality of the persons or things referred to.”
Used without a noun it virtually becomes a pronoun, meaning “everyone” or “anyone.”

In the plural with a noun it means “all.”

One form of the neuter plural (panta) signifies “wholly, together, in all ways, in all things,” Acts 20:35; 1 Cor. 9:25.

The neuter plural without the article signifies “all things severally,” e.g., John 1:3; 1 Cor. 2:10; preceded by the article it denotes “all things,” as constituting a whole, e.g., Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 3:9.

Dear Curtis: There appears to be individuals on our Christian thread at C.F. that question the scope of pas. Furthermore, they not only question the scope, they believe far too much emphasis is placed on that one wee word. Stay tuned.

[Of the Kingdom]

Used without the article it means “every,” every kind or variety

According to your notes, could be either "every" or "every kind". Are you saying that scholars who believe "every kind" is a possible translation do not believe "all means all"?

I assume this is related to the question of whether "all people" or "all kinds of people" will be saved.

Perhaps the radical all of pas should be tis (some) in scope in tis occasions. Let's try that in the following passages of the Word. > > >


1 Cor. 15:22

“For as in Adam some die, so also in Christ some shall be made alive. But each in his own order; Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished some rule and some authority and power.”

Rev. 5:13

Col. 1:18-20

“He too is that head whose body is the Church, the Firstborn from the dead, he is to the Church the Source of its life, that in some things He might occupy the foremost place/ to be in some things alone supreme. For it pleased the Father that in him the divine nature in some of its fulness should dwell.

And you that were sometimes alienated…”

1 Timothy 2:6

“For there is one intermediary (One who brings God and men together) who gave Himself a ransom in behalf of some to be testified in due time.”

Cor. 5:15

“For the love of God overmasters us because we judge that if one died for some, then were some dead; And that His purpose in dying for some was that men, while still in life, should cease to live for themselves, and should live for Him who for their sake died and was raised to life.”

Col. 1:16

"For by Him were some things created, of things in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen (angels or archangels and some of the powers of Heaven)…some things were created by Him, and for Him (some were made by Christ for His own use and glory.)

Phil. 2:10,11

In order that in adoration of the Name of Jesus some knees will bow themselves and openly acknowledge with joy, in celebration and praise, that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. This profession and confession of His lordship shall be open and freely proclaimed, acknowledged joyfully by some beings in the heavens, by some beings on the earth and by some beings in the underworld.

Please remember

All/pas does not radically mean all.

Whole is not whole.

All = Some/ tis.

 

[Saint Steven]

Man is totally depraved in the sense that everything about his nature is in rebellion against God. Man is loyal to the god of darkness and loves darkness rather than The Light. His will is, therefore, not at all "free". It is a slave to the flesh. Total depravity means that man, of his own "free will," will NEVER MAKE A DECISION FOR CHRIST. Our blessed Lord bluntly says, "You will not come to Me, that you might have life" (Jn. 5:40). Why does our Lord say this? Because the will of the unregenerate man is bound by the bands of sin and death to the god of the spiritually dead.

Total depravity means that the natural man is completely incapable of discerning Truth. In fact, unregenerate man thinks of the things of God as being ridiculous! "The natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (I Cor. 2:14). Man cannot see or know the things which relate to the Kingdom of God, without being regenerated first by the Holy Spirit. A dead spirit perceives only the things of man and Satan. Hence the words of Jesus to Nicodemus: "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (Jn. 3:3). Unborn children do not see the light. Dead men do not see the light.

Dear Curtis: There appears to be individuals on our Christian thread at C.F. that question the scope of pas. Furthermore, they not only question the scope, they believe far too much emphasis is placed on that one wee word. Stay tuned.

Its not individuals who disagree its Scripture that exposes your erroneous conclusions regarding " pas " and how its used in scripture. Below we see it CANNOT mean what you claim otherwise EVERY single person in ALL Judea and ALL Jerusalem (including EVERY Pharisee, Saducee, Samaritan, Gentile and Romans citizen) was baptized by John and confessed their sins to him which we know for a FACT is not true.

Mark 1:4-5
And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

Thank you der uber Alte, you've just shown how Matt 25:46 may well be another example of the hyperbolic, chiastic, idiomatic Hebrew poetry or rhetoric found throughout scripture. (Phew, that was an effort!)

Jesus hints that the punishment in actuality can't be eternal, because it's corrective (kolasin) rather than retributive (timoreisis). I understand him to be warning about, translated to today's idiom, 'a world of hurt'.

The point he's emphasising is the importance of practising the virtues as described in the preceding verses, just as he does when he enjoins us to violently remove an eye or hand if it causes us to sin.

Back to the O.P., the 'pas' may be used in various ways, but like you say, usually it's plain meaning is inescapable.

When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. (1 Cor 15:28)
Strong's Greek: 3956. πᾶς (pas) -- all, every

And here we have another example of the UR practice. Ignore, ignore, ignore repeat UR arguments. I certainly appreciate you unsupported opinions.
Matthew 25:46 is neither chiastic, idiomatic, Hebrew poetry nor rhetoric. I am quite sure you have seen my quote from the EOB NT on Matt 25:46. Your assumptions/presuppositions do not trump the EOB version by native Greek speaking scholars which I quoted.
Jesus hints nothing. See e.g. 1 Jn 4:18.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.[κολασις/kolasis] He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ​

The Greek word "kolasis" occurs twice in the NT, Matt 25:46 and 1 Jn 4:18. In 1 Jn 4:18 the person who has "kolasis" is NOT corrected is not made perfect. Ergo "kolasis" does NOT mean "correction."
Strong's has been shown to have about 15,000 errors or omissions. Strong's is a concordance NOT a lexicon. The definitions in Strong's only show how the words are translated in the KJV.
If one wants accurate definitions they should consult a lexicon. Here is a link to the 1957 Bauer, Arndt, Gingrich, Danker lexicon online. Bon chance.

Kolasin is from pruning. Aionion kolasin is like trying to persuade an infernalist that God's plan is good news for all. It's a seemingly interminable exercise and forlorn hope.

So that's what Jesus is saying, if a person is so set in their sinful ways it'll take a miracle to turn them around. Stiffnecked, hardhearted, self-righteous etc. These are the 'tough' sins that plague the pharisees, for which Jesus reserves his most pungent criticism. Sometimes you need to rattle their cages in an effort to make the dry bones walk.

Just for fun here is my post on the Eastern/Greek Orthodox version of the NT. Quoting from other sources such as Thayer, Young, Strong's does not conclusively show that the EOB is incorrect.
…..Greek is now, and has always been, the language of the Eastern Greek Orthodox church. Who, better than the native Greek speaking scholars who translated the “literal” Greek Eastern Orthodox Bible [EOB], know the correct meaning of Greek words, e.g. “Gehenna,””aiōnios,”“kolasis” etc?
EOB, footnote pg. 180

“Hades is the realm of the dead. The upper part of hades was considered to be luminous and it was called “paradise” or "Abraham's bosom.” Hades is not to be confused with hell (Gehenna) which is the final place of state or place of the damned (“the lake of’ fire”).”​

The Eastern Greek Orthodox Bible EOB—New Testament 96

Matthew 25:46 Then he will answer them saying ‘Amen. I tell you: as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' “These [[ones on the left]] will go away into eternal punishment.[κολασιν αιονιον/kolasin aiōnion] but the righteous into eternal life.​

KJV Romans 16:26 [EOB 14:25]
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting [αιωνιου/aiōniou] God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:​

Paul, the same writer, in the same writing the book of Romans, uses αιωνιου/aiōniou, in Rom 16:26 synonymous with αιδιος/aidios in Rom 1:20, below. This shows conclusively that “aionios” means “eternal/everlsasting.” Scholars unanimously agree that “aidios” means “eternal/everlasting.”

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world, his invisible things are clearly seen. They perceived through created things, even his everlasting [τε αιδιος/te aidios] power and divinity. ​

Kolasin is from pruning. Aionion kolasin is like trying to persuade an infernalist that God's plan is good news for all. It's a seemingly interminable exercise and forlorn hope.
So that's what Jesus is saying, if a person is so set in their sinful ways it'll take a miracle to turn them around. Stiffnecked, hardhearted, self-righteous etc. These are the 'tough' sins that plague the pharisees, for which Jesus reserves his most pungent criticism. Sometimes you need to rattle their cages in an effort to make the dry bones walk.

Once again your unsupported opinion. Your "kolasis" argument is a logical fallacy as I have shown from 1 Jn 4:18. "Fear" has nothing to do with "pruning."

The etymological fallacy is a genetic fallacy that holds that the present-day meaning of a word or phrase should necessarily be similar to its historical meaning. ... An argument constitutes an etymological fallacy if it makes a claim about the present meaning of a word based exclusively on its etymology.​

I do not need to have the words of Jesus explained to me, in Matt 25:46 or any other verse. See EOB above.
I started learning to speak Greek supervising Greek refugees in Germany the year of Sputnik1 and studied both Hebrew and Greek at the graduate level two decades after that. I also have Brown, Driver, Briggs Hebrew lexicon and BDAG Greek lexicon both print and digital in my library.

Didn't you just quote some scholar with approval in another thread who says kolasin comes from pruning? Like to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, do we?

It would be most helpful if you would quote my posts then respond to them. I quoted A.T. Robertson's commentary on Matthew 25:46 in response to FL who quoted Robertson out-of-context trying to make Robertson appear to support UR.

A.T. Robertson Matthew 25:46
Eternal punishment (kolasin aiōnion). The word kolasin comes from kolazō, to mutilate or prune. Hence those who cling to the larger hope use this phrase to mean age-long pruning that ultimately leads to salvation of the goats, as disciplinary rather than penal. There is such a distinction as Aristotle pointed out between mōria (vengeance) and kolasis. But the same adjective aiōnios is used with kolasin and zōēn. If by etymology we limit the scope of kolasin, we may likewise have only age-long zōēn. There is not the slightest indication in the words of Jesus here that the punishment is not coeval with the life. We can leave all this to the King himself who is the Judge. The difficulty to one’s mind about conditional chastisement is to think how a life of sin in hell can be changed into a life of love and obedience. The word aiōnios (from aiōn, age, aevum, aei) means either without beginning or without end or both. It comes as near to the idea of eternal as the Greek can put it in one word. It is a difficult idea to put into language. Sometimes we have “ages of ages” (aiōnes tōn aiōnōn).​

What's EOB?

I have quoted the Eastern Greek Orthodox NT [EOT] several times. See this post above.

Sputnik is fake news.

Sputnik is not fake news but whether it was factual or fake is irrelevant, it marks a point in time. It is sort of like the death of JFK. Most people can tell you when it was and what they were doing. I sometimes say the year that Elvis and I were stationed in Germany but people younger than 60 can't relate to that.
