(Ja. 2:10, Mt. 28:20, Ro.3: 27,28) (Verses from
the 1769 Authorized King James Version with 1833 Webster's
Update.)
10. Let's look at how God uses
the word "all" (in Greek 3956 {pas}),
whole (Strong's # 3650 {holos}), and
world (2889 {kosmos}). Revised
1/97
(Verses from the 1769
Authorized King James Version with 1833 Webster's Update.)
... "the world {kosmos} has gone after him" (John
12:19). Did all the world go after Christ? "then went all
{pas} Judea, and were baptized of him in Jordan" (Mat. 3:5).
Was all Judea, or all Jerusalem, baptized in Jordan? "Ye are
of God, little children", and the whole {holos} world
{kosmos} lieth in the wicked one" (1Jn. 5:19). 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
Obviously "all", "whole" and
"world" does not always mean everybody.
Verses used in an attempt to prove universal atonement:
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all {pas} should come to
repentance.
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all {pas} men to be saved, and to
come unto the knowledge of the truth.
John 3:15-16 That whosoever {pas} believeth in him should not
perish,but have eternal life. [16] For God
so loved the world {kosmos}, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever {pas} believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
John 6:33, 37, 39, 51 For the bread of God is he which cometh
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world {kosmos}. [37] All {pas} that the Father giveth me shall
come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
[39] And this is the Father's will which
hath sent me, that of all {pas} which he hath given me I should
lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. [51] I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world {kosmos}.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all {pas} [men] unto me.
John 1:7, 9 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light, that all {pas} [men] through him might believe. [9] [That] was the true Light, which lighteth
every man {pas} that cometh into the world {kosmos}.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and
honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every
{pas} man.
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for
ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole {holos} world
{kosmos}.
The following verses indicate that "all" {pas},
"whole" {holos}, and "world" {kosmos} can not
always mean everybody.
Luke 2:1,3, 6:47, 20:38 And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all {pas}
the world {kosmos} should be taxed. [3] And
all {pas} went to be taxed, every one into his own city. [6:47] Whosoever {pas} cometh to me, and heareth
my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: [20:38] For he is not a God of the dead, but of
the living: for all {pas} live unto him.
Romans 5:18,8:22 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment
came] upon all {pas} men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all {pas} men unto
justification of life. [8:22] For we know
that the whole {pas} creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
Matthew 2:3, 10:22, 19:11 When Herod the king had heard [these
things], he was troubled, and all {pas} Jerusalem with him. [10:22] And ye shall be hated of all {pas} [men]
for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be
saved. [19:11] But he said unto them, All
{pas} [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is
given.
Mark 1:37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All
{pas} [men] seek for thee.
John 17:2,9 As thou hast given him power over all {pas} flesh,
that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given
him. [9] I pray for them: I pray not for
the world {kosmos}, but for them which thou hast given me;
for they are thine.
1Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all {pas} die, even so in
Christ shall all {pas} be made alive.
2Cor. 5:14,15 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because
we thus judge, that if one died for all {pas}, then were all
{pas} dead:[15] And [that] he died for all
{pas}, that they which live should not henceforth live unto
themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all {pas} they which are
in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and
Hermogenes.
1John 2:23, 3:27, 5:19, 12:19 Whosoever {pas} denieth the Son,
the same hath not the Father: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also]. [3:27] John
answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given
him from heaven. [5:19] [And] we know that
we are of God, and the whole {holos} world {kosmos} lieth in
wickedness. [12:19] The Pharisees therefore
said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing?
behold, the world {kosmos} is gone after him.
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all {pas} [men] see what [is] the
fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world
hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Luke 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world
seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these
things. Matthew 6:32 indicates that "the nations of the
world" are the Gentiles: Matthew 6:32 (For after all these
things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
