Does "all things" mean everything?

In all your post it the same old thing. Don't talk or comment on the thead ALL means everthing.
actually the only time I deviated from the OP was when you came on and I tried to get you to explain what you meant. In fact, my husband thought that maybe you were... ah well, it wasn't nice, so I won't say what he thought. Anyway, all I wanted to know is what you were trying to say. I know you aren't use to people asking you what you mean, but your posts are very hard to decode. It has nothing to do with God or understanding God, but rather understanding you and what your point is. Unfortunately you can't seem to grasp that. I still don't know what you meant and how it applies to the OP, however, attacking me for asking isn't going to get you anywhere.
Just attack someone who post the meaning of the word (All) in the greek. You can't fight the meaning so turn your fight to the man.
now the best I can tell, no one here doesn't know what all means, in fact, we can clarify it very quickly, websters, 1 a: the whole amount, quantity, or extent of <needed all the courage they had> <sat up all night> b: as much as possible <spoke in all seriousness>2: every member or individual component of <all men will go> <all five children were present>3: the whole number or sum of <all the angles of a triangle are equal to two right angles>4: every <all manner of hardship>5: any whatever <beyond all doubt>6: nothing but : only : a: completely taken up with, given to, or absorbed by <became all attention> b: having or seeming to have (some physical feature) in conspicuous excess or prominence <all legs> c: paying full attention with <all ears> 7dialect : used up : entirely consumed —used especially of food and drink8: being more than one person or thing <who all is coming>synonyms see whole

— all the : as much of…as : as much of a…as <all the home I ever had>

no problem, the question is how are we to use it here. I think it is literally all things, anything that is necessary for furthering the gospel. But you seem (I still don't know what you think) that it means that everyone is saved. Now not only is that off topic, but it does not allow for the multiple interpretations of the word all. If that isn't what you intended, you have been provided multiple opportunities to clarify and take it back to the OP of which you have not, but rather accused me of not understanding God because I ask you to clarify your posts. Wow, how self righteous can one person get when that is your response! Anyway, we understand the word all, the question is how is it intended to be interpreted in this usage. PErsonnally I think the qualifier isn't on what can happen, but rather on what God wills to happen which is all about His purpose. But hey, we are still trying to figure out what your position is...
I believe you doctrine is blow up by the greek. Thank God for it.
which doctrine would that be???? and how would the greek blow it up?????

That you have to do something, and change the why the word is wittern to fit your ideas of works.
now here are two questions for you, see if you can answer either one without false accusations 1. how does this apply to the OP? or 2. where does my reply to the OP suggest that we do anything?
Strong's # 3956 all, any, every, the whole.
now here you can tell me how what I said contridicts the strong's usage of all?
How what did God leave out?
how did God leave out what?????
Thats right your ideas on what it means and what you have to do.
hum???? now I am even more confused if that is possible (on what you are trying to say, not what God says) in the passage referred to in the OP we must believe. In the possibles here, the bible lists belief as the criteria, when we look at the totality of scripture we see that God's purpose is also a criteria. So, apparently from your response here we must assume that you don't believe the actual scriptures, you must not adhere to the scriptures that you accuse others of not adhereing to. [/quote] So Now go back to you headship so you don't have to state what you think. That covering thing is so weak, BORING.[/quote]?????what headship? Are you referring here to God's authority, because that is anything but boring!!! In fact, God's authority is very exciting and fascinating, and is the very center of the biblical doctrines. As to what I think on the OP I have been very clear and forthright about it, all means everything but as it applies to God's purpose, His authority in our lives. Now we get to covering things of which I can't even begin to grasp what you are referring to...what coverings? what are you referring to in coverings???? I haven't talked about coverings, so I don't know what you are referring to. It might help if you responded with quotes so that it was easier to follow what you intent to be addressing. Do you know how to do quotes?

In that verse: "With God, all things are possible." That is true. The Lord can make all things possible in our lives. If He can create the Heavens and the Earth in 7 days, surely He can do anything. But if you look at the first part, "With God." I believe that means if the Lord allows it, if it is His Will, all things will be possible to man.

But if you look at the first part, "With God." I believe that means if the Lord allows it, if it is His Will, all things will be possible to man.
actually there are a couple of passages that talk about this:
Mark 9:23 (King James Version)


23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.


Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.


Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.


Mark 10:27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.


That is enough for the moment. If we look at these passages, we find there are actually two prerequisites, 1. it must be in accordance with God's will, or purpose if you will. and 2. you must believe. In fact, I think this verse tells us a host about the whole idea of all things as we see Christ Himself, able to do "all" things and yet only doing what is the Father's will.



Mark 14:36

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.


See, when we get the totality of scripture in line with the verses being discussed, we realize that "all" includes everything that is in accord with God's will or purpose. But if you don't believe, you are not God's and therefore have no authority over the "all's" of this world.

I must formally apologize, in the heat of the moment I stated that last sentence as a sarcastic response to some words spoken by one post that didn't even resemble anything reasonable. But that was not clear in my post and when it struck me that I had done this, I felt very bad and needed to come here and apologize. Sorry guys.

Here what you don't get HE SAVED THE CREATION ALL OF IT. The word doesn't need your understanding, THE UNDERSTANDING IS THE WORD. Thats over your head. You think your so smart but the heart of the old man speaks loud and clear. I smell sin and death. ALL DIED IN ADAM! ALL MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST JESUS! READS REAL SIMPLE TO ME. But what the heck you are so full of oneself that God needs your help to fullfill this statement. NOT! Jesus is the author and finisher of faith not man and his idea's. ALL IS ALL. God is the whole! How much more simple can I make it.

right, according to the Word all who believe.
The word doesn't need your understanding,
the Word says all who believe, doesn't require much interpretation and is simple to understand, I'm really not sure what your problem with it is. It's straight out of scripture.
THE UNDERSTANDING IS THE WORD.
not even sure what that is suppose to mean, the understanding of the Word comes from the Holy Spirit not man's intellect.
Thats over your head. You think your so smart but the heart of the old man speaks loud and clear. I smell sin and death.
see this is more judgment, judgment that is reserved for God alone. You not only step over the line with this kind of judgment but show yourself to be of someone other than God.
ALL DIED IN ADAM! ALL MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST JESUS! READS REAL SIMPLE TO ME.
no problem with this and it doesn't even fit the OP, so I got to wonder why you would even bring it up here.Man dies, but in Christ we can live, no problem for me, for my theology, nor for the OP, in fact, the OP doesn't even deal with this topic.
But what the heck you are so full of oneself that God needs your help to fullfill this statement.
:confused::confused::confused::confused: God says that we need to believe, John 3:16 for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever BELIEVETH should have eternal life. Not my words, not my thoughts, not "oneself" but God alone. Belief is required according to God.
NOT! Jesus is the author and finisher of faith not man and his idea's.
right, faith is different from belief as it is different from salvation. In fact, faith is not love, joy, peace, hope, etc. faith is faith, and God is the author and finisher of that faith.
ALL IS ALL. God is the whole! How much more simple can I make it.
All is all, this is the first thhing that even resembles the OP, Now in context of the OP, you are right, as has been stated several times already, All requires that it is God's will/purpose and that we believe. That is what the Scripture says, all things are possible, that means everything under God's authority, which just so happens to be everything. But in order to that power and authority to be manifest in man it must 1. be in accordance with God's will/purpose and 2. throught belief. The passages were provided, why don't you show us where in the passage we are reading it wrong?

The flesh of man speaks. I, I, I, ME, ME, ME. Lets forget the fact it's ALL (there that word agian) a gift from God. Even your so called belief. JESUS IS FRIST IN EVERYTHING (all things) get it.
Your back to some kind of riddles that don't make any sense. Please translate in plain english

One more thing, I reread my post just before this, in it I found 4 words I or me, all of which referred to me not understand what your point was, so again, this response sounds like you are calling yourself God, which is something I have no use for.

I've always believed that "ALL THINGS" are those same "earthly and heavenly things" that Nicodemus couldn't understand. It's "ALL THOSE THINGS" of the natural and supernatural realm of those "earthly and heavenly things".
as in what we know and what we do not know?

No why don't you remove the I.
Well, I'm pretty sure that God knows your heart therefore knows what you are trying to say, however, I am not God therefore don't have a clue what your trying to say, as I said, I counted 4 I's or me's and all were directed at not figuring out what you were trying to say. If I could figure out what your point was, there would have been no I's only God's. Ah well, you aren't likely to understand that...
