Where do you find all these great quotes, brother. Keep them coming.
FL is this you, the fireball story? it starts at about 13:30
By these three prepositions Paul ascribes the universe (ta panta) with all the phenomena concerning creation, redemption, providence to God as the...
Ex= The Source
Di= The Agent
Eiv= The Goal
The Koine, ta pavnte, is the strongest word for all in the Scriptures; it literally means the all.
Romans 11:36=
ta pavnte/ ta panta, "in the absolute sense of the whole of creation, the all things, the universe, and, everything in heaven and earth that is in need of uniting and redeeming."
It is not in the limited sense of "nearly all", "pavnte" minus "ta
The final preposition [eiv) reveals the ultimate goal of all that is. What has been provided in Christ is a re-turn, a re-storation, a re-newing, a re-demption, a re-concilation, a re-surrection, a re-stitution.
The prefix "re" means back again, again, anew--and all the words with this prefix speak of something that left its place and has now made its circuit and come back to the point of its beginning.
In the Christian story God descends to reascend. He comes down;.... down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature He has created. But He goes down to come up again and bring the whole ruined world up with Him. -C.S. Lewis
It says in Adam all die and in Christ all live. It is clear that we were and are all in Adam when he sinned. No where does it teach that all are in Christ.Hopefully you will testify to the defining aspect of what drew you to the Lord Jesus Christ. While we wait on that let me attempt to answer. God is not going to "save" all people, He will reconcile all broken creatures back to Himself. There is a wonderful equation in Romans (actually a couple) but in Romans 5 we read that the mass of mankind "were made sinners" through Adam 1 : that same mass (polus) will be "made righteous" in/through the Last Adam.
you'll notice that he was saying we 'will be made' probably 'being made' ... we hold these truths to be self evident, we in herited the sin of the first Adam, it is in our 'flesh'... but inheriting the second Adam? that's not how it works, but God is still sovereign, and will DRAG all, ALL to be 'in Christ'...What then does it mean in Ma

No, the qualifier there is, 'in Christ', a Pauline expression used 35x in the first 3 chapters of Ephesians. Indeed all in Christ will be saved, but there is no indication that all will be in Christ. On the contrary, Jesus warned repeatedly that the wicked are cast into the lake of fire. If everyone is saved then did he lie about that?you'll notice that he was saying we 'will be made' probably 'being made' ... we hold these truths to be self evident, we in herited the sin of the first Adam, it is in our 'flesh'... but inheriting the second Adam? that's not how it works, but God is still sovereign, and will DRAG all, ALL to be 'in Christ'...
i'm not the right person to explain all of that, and if you are hung up on 'we only have this lifetime or we will burn in hell forever'... then it makes the Bible lie when it says that ALL will be made alive in Christ.
not to go off topic, FL, but i'm about to lol
now Martin Zender may be off his nut, but this guy, Bill Donahue, is not even sure that ANY thing in the Bible actually HAPPENED, lol, but he is onto a spiritual revelation having to do with the pineal gland, and meditation, etc... he's a totally crazy person, but i dig that about him lol
i mean, he talks about talking to Christ, even tho he talks about there being no God and the Bible is a metaphor... the guy is BONKERS lol
What then does it mean in Ma
It says in Adam all die and in Christ all live. It is clear that we were and are all in Adam when he sinned. No where does it teach that all are in Christ.
you are right, i'm a flibbertyjibbet lol i can't be trusted to stay on topic!Hugs: Just when did you concern yourself with going off topic? Oh please! If you stayed on topic we would likely not learn anything. There are a lot of Bill Donahue's in our wee world, all in need of seeing a new vision! To the Bill's out there we announce glad tidings of great joy!
yes yes, which scripture is that? assuming it's in Romans, but not sure where.WE have a physics major on this thread who understands equations. We are now going to consider the Equation of all equations>>>>>>>>
"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
Please note:
The many= polus and is equal on both sides of the equation!
The polus "made" sinners>>>>>>the polus "made" righteous.
The many= the all= the polus.
it's most everybody that will be cast in the lake of fire, you are mistaken to think that believers are safe from that fate, we are ALL saved 'through the fire'... 'salted with fire'... better for it to be done in this life than after, i daresay!
here is a video about what the lake of fire is:
and if you really want to be SURE that ALL means ALL, then watch this video, but you HAVE TO WATCH IT, not just come back and say something else without educating yourself
yes yes, which scripture is that? assuming it's in Romans, but not sure where.
don't worry, when i was studying physics i got so stressed out that i ended up having mini strokes that wiped out physics... so i became a computer programmer lol still top of my class tho... but i forget that too, since becoming ill... my mind is a shadow of it's former self, but i'm much much much happier to be watching Jesus moulding my mind to be like HIS...
you know what i like in that scripture/equation? the words 'even so'... which is like the equal sign "=" between the two sides of the equation
