I met a God bigger than a God of 1 %. There is a better dispensation for those that accept salvation and do the will of the Father but the doom and gloom your post portrays comes from fear. If there is a 100% success ratio for salvation of mankind it does not make Jesus' death and resurection a failure.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto me."

**** "Will draw the whole creation to myself." -E.V. Rieu-

**** "Shall draw everyone to Myself." - Berkeley-

**** "I will attract all men to Myself." -Ronald Knox-

**** "And when I am lifted up....I shall attract all towards Myself." -Ferrar Fenton-

**** "Will draw all unto myself." -J.B. Rotherham-

Says of John 12:32, in the Speaker's Commentary: "(ta panta) all men: The phrase must not be limited in any way. It cannot mean merely 'Gentiles as well as Jews,' or 'the elect,' or 'all that believe.' We must receive it as it stands (Romans 5:18; 8:32; 2 Cor. 5:15; Eph. 1:10; 2 Corinthians 5:15 1 Tim. 2:6; Hebr. 2:9; 1 John 2:2)

The remarkable reading 'all things' (omnia) points to a still wider application of Redemption (Col. 1:20)."

"And I will draw the whole creation to Myself."


Thankyou F.L. It is amazing how many Christians refuse to believe "all" means all, and "whole" is less than whole.

"And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for our sins only, but the sins of the whole world."
