Let me see if I understand. You are saying that because I don’t “all” has just one meaning, that I am wrongly handling scripture?

We are born judged, objects of wrath by our nature (Eph 2:3), unregenerate (spiritual death), separated from and enemies of God (Ro 5:10).
We could not avoid that.

Feel free to exegete Ro 9 in agreement with its context and all Scripture.
Here is a Professor who is a Greek scholar and was former Calvinist doing that for you. Let me know where you disagree.

One would not be allowed to say that on Christian Forums. What does Paul say about this? I think Paul would get in trouble if he said it. I only desire that scripture is handled correctly. Let the reader decide what is and what isn't proper Exegesis in dialogue because... I willingly gave my "Judgment" and "Personal Authority to Judge" away to a Jewish Carpenter that really upset some very Righteous, Scripturally Wise, good ole boys. What do I know?

I would say that he knows more than all fallen mankind on the subject, right?

Did you miss "might," made evident in that he does not (Jn 3:18)?

Paul is saying that all are concluded in unbelief, so that only those of faith in Jesus Christ receive mercy.

What a scripturally illiterate guy! He used the entire bible, including the actual scriptures from the old testament to exegete! Can you believe the nerve of that guy!

Cheer up! Paul never mentions any of that negative material in his Epistles without showing the way out.

I would say that to pas over what all means in the scriptures that I posted, would nullify the contract of God with Mankind that Saves mankind. That seems like a bad idea, but who am I? I'm just an illiterate bumpkin.

Hope for the Hopeless

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Follows.... Active Verb...... Questions... Hmmmm... John 6:66

STOP!

You questioned (" ? ") my statement, "I don''t do determinism,"
which I took to mean that you were puzzled by the word "do,"
which I explained as it being a take-off on a somewhat illiterate person,
which you evidently thought was referring to you. . .

NO!

You are one of the most literate people I know.

I often use "do" incorrectly just for fun, and it sums up so much activity in one word. . .it's a form of slang.

You may be talking to a very experienced and seasoned agent of the gospel, who employs Paul's references to being foolish all too eagerly.

I have had to reduce my pleasant demeanor, because "some" individuals "may" or "may" not have issue with it to the point of taking CF ... I signed a gag order. Disregard my nonsense.

I still Love you Sibling in Jesus. You know that I am a mega stinker. Take heart and know that many times, my tongue is fastened to my cheek when typing.... trying to keep my profile low, but my humor in jovial spirits. All is well.

To say I haven't given you challenging dialogue, would be a lie. I stand more guilty than any that have ever loaded up forums. Scout's honor.

You seem to be deflecting. I’ll try again. If you refuse to answer, I’ll bow out.

I genuinely appreciate your stimulating dialogue and challenging questions on this Opening Post.

All Love to you in the Name of our Omnibenevolent, Merciful, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the King of Humility and cause of Trembling to the Hypocrite, because, Praise His Name, there is utterly no Hypocrisy within Him.

It's not the gospel I have issue with, it is your interpretation of prophetic riddles--not spoken clearly (Nu 12:8)--which contradicts NT teaching.
I don't see you to be malevolent as it seems some others do. . .

But then, I would be the last one to see it. . .or maybe you just didn't present it to me.
