Firstly, what you wrote above doesn't sufficiently answer this - which you keep
avoiding an answer to:
How many is "whosoever" in this verse?:
"
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish."
Question: Does
"whosoever believes in Him should not perish" mean "God so loved the world so that
no one will perish"?
Secondly, you have made it clear to me that you have not considered the
biblical meaning of the words
aiṓn (age) aiṓnios (eternal age) and zōḗ (eternal life), as derived from the context of each verse they are found in, and your post above is a very good example of someone insisting that what is written does not mean what it says.
You have made it obvious to me that you have completely ignored the context in all the verses you quoted in order to make a
false assertion.
Matthew 13:22:
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this age
[aiṓn], and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word,and he becomes unfruitful.
The above is only referring to an age, not to life everlasting:
αἰών aiṓn, ahee-ohn'
properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future):--age, course, eternal, (for) ever(-more), (n-)ever, (beginning of the , while the) world (began, without end).
00166 αἰώνιος
aiṓnios, ahee-o'-nee-os
from 165 [aiṓn];
perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):--eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began).
The word aiṓnios, which means eternal age, is derived from the word aiṓn, which means an age.
The word zōḗ is always referring to
everlasting life,
wherever it is used in the scripture of the New Testament,
without exception.
John 3:36:
He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life [aiṓnios zōḗ]: and he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life [zōḗ]; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 5:26:
For as the Father hath life [zōḗ] in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life [zōḗ] in himself.
John 5:29:
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life [zōḗ]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 17:2-3:
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life [aiṓnios zōḗ] to
as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal [zōḗ aiṓnios], that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
You cannot
ignore the context of each verse the way you are doing. The word aiṓnios is also found in these verses:
Matthew 18:8:
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into
everlasting fire.
Matthew 19:16:
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
Matthew 19:29:
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 25:41:
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting [aiṓnios] fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:46:
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Mark 3:29:
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Luke 16:9:
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Romans 5:21
That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life [aiṓnios zōḗ] by Jesus Christ our Lord.
The list goes on and on - and it's a long list.
By all your posts to me in this thread so far you have already completely lost my consideration of the truthfulness of anything you say about this, because you have made it
completely obvious to me that you have
consciously changed and are continuously
consciously changing the plain and obvious meaning of what is written in scripture to get it to suit your own doctrine.
Christ is Lord of
ALL but Savior ONLY OF
whosoever will believe in Him and
ALL will confess Him as Lord because even those who do not believe in Him will have no option but to confess Him as Lord, but
whosoever believes in Him will receive everlasting life. Their names are written in the Lamb's book of life and they will not experience the second death, which is also called the lake of fire.
So IMO nowhere is the New Testament telling us that
all will be saved and
all will receive everlasting life. Jesus does not use words lightly or to confuse anyone.
Whosoever believes in Him will receive everlasting life does not mean
all will receive everlasting life.
But you have already proved to me that you are changing the meaning of what is written to suit the doctrine you are trying to prove to me, because so far
all your interpretations of the scriptures that you have quoted, have shown you to have
consciously and deliberately changed the meaning of what is written, and also
ignored the meaning of words which do not agree with your doctrine, so I don't need to give what you say about this any more consideration, because you have made me realize by now that what you believe regarding this, is wishful thinking.
Thanks for your time though
