It’s not semantics. It’s right in the text.
Okay, I didn't mean semantics, but the way you are insisting on interpreting the verse, As
Translated. Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
I have rejected your interpretation that this means that nations are being discipled and baptized,
because I knew there was a verse that clarifies this to mean "out of every nation".
Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying:
You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
I am sure you are aware that by the scriptures, there are 70 nations recognized by God as
the nations of the earth, found in Genesis 10, which lists the immediate descendants of Noah,
and is normally referred to as the "table of the nations".[Gk.=ethnos]
Not many of these nations can be identified with current national, geopolitical boundaries, which
are most likely irrelevant. These 70 are ethnos, ethnic distinctions, not nations. Do you know of any
ethnic groups that are fully disciples of Christ? How is that working for the Great Commission?
