RE>>That is called adding to the word of God. << No it isn't Alan It is called "discerning" the meaning of the words. I am not adding words - I am disputing the meaning you are attaching to them. I am not interested in corrupting God's word nor twisting it to suit "my agenda" I have no agenda other than "rightly dividing the word of truth." I may be in error at certain points but I am willing to change whatever I believe. What I believe is of no importance to me - only truth holds value. I have no 'religion' to spread. I have no 'church' to see grow. I only seek to be a good student and steward of God's word. Now concerning you misuse of the word "ALL" and you do misuse it. In the following verse does "ALL" mean absolutely everyone in Jerusalem? Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Spurgeon was said to be the "Prince of Preachers" - he was a baptist. Very few baptists however today would agree with what he taught. What he taught was biblical but most 'Christians' are not!!! I submit the following... ..." the whole world has gone after him" Did all the world go after Christ? "then went all Judea, and were baptized of him in Jordan." Was all Judea, or all Jerusalem, baptized in Jordan? "Ye are of God, little children", and the whole world lieth in the wicked one". Does the whole world there mean everybody? The words "world" and "all" are used in some seven or eight senses in Scripture, and it is very rarely the "all" means all persons, taken individually. The words are generally used to signify that Christ has redeemed some of all sorts —some Jews, some Gentiles, some rich, some poor, and has not restricted His redemption to either Jew or Gentile ... (C.H. Spurgeon from a sermon on Particular Redemption)
