What does this scripture mean to you.? Anyone can answer, it applies to all mankind.?

Question

Jesus is the Savior of all mankind, especially of those who believe.” (1 Tim. 4:10)

According to this, all mankind is "saved" including those who do not believe. Those of you who know me have seen me write that very thing a hundered times. "Most souls cross over and religion has nothing to do with it." Only yesterday did I know that there was actually a bible verse to back it up.

I can bet that you could give me a 100 scriptures to contradict this one. Please give them to me. I can add them to my "List of bible contradictions".

Or, is it "Out of Context"?

Have a nice day people.

Thanks Ginkgo.

Dan, those are great! Thanks.

Andrew, can you read? It says "especially" NOT "only".

Judgement day IS a joke and the joke is on you!

Answer 1

Mt 12:31-32 says" Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or the age to come."

I suppose that rather contradicts your passage.

Then there's this lovely bit, Mt10:34-39
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

And my very favorite, 2 Jn 1:7
"Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work."

There are many contradictions there. Jesus says blasphemy against him is forgivable, but blashphemy against god is not. But the author of 2 John says "whoever continues the teaching has bothe the father and the son", and eleswhere in the Bible it says that Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit are one and the same.

Answer 2

To me it is the Book that reveals God Holy and perfect truth...

The Bible was inspired by God.
Bible is 66 books written by 40 inspired different authors over thousands of years.
1000's of Men and women died for this book would be persevered for the future.
There are 100,000’s of prophesy throughout the Bible and more than 90% have already been fulfilled. Every verse is expressing Gods prophecy and plan for the world and his people, the Jews. The Bible is the most historical book from that time in print.
It also has 1000,000,000s of copies maybe even more.
It is the oldest book that is still widely printed today.
The Bible never contradicts its self and is in sync with history.
No one can say the Bible lacks detail. Many of the things God said to isreal in the Bible as
We now know as basic scientific procurers, knowledge, and cleanliness measures. The Bible is backed 100% by other historical accounts.

Answer 3

The NIV a million Corinthians 6:9-10, Do you no longer understand that the depraved won't inherit the dominion of God? don't be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor gay offenders nor thieves nor the grasping nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the dominion of God. Then, the forged information. financial ruin 6:11, and that's what a number of you have been. yet you have been washed, you have been sanctified, you have been justified interior the call of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the help of the Spirit of our God. there is unquestionably forgiveness in Jesus.

Answer 4

Jesus death would have paid for the sins for everybody . A lot of people won't come to believe and trust in Jesus , but like the scripture states " those who believe ". If he paid the sins for everybody ,judgment day would be a joke .

Answer 5

He is the Saviour, but man are given free will and choice. make your choice to invite Jesus into your life, that's why there're altar calls for you to do so. Or choose not to let Him be your Saviour. Simple concept?

Its as simple as
"your parents will always be there for you, especially when you are a child."
You can choose not to be their children, by disowning them, but they still are always there for you.

ok was that elaborate enough for you?

as usual, thumbs down by narrow minded people who cant argue the facts with me. oh well~ i thought i didnt care about it anymore

Answer 6

here is one for you sweetie

"But I have many other sheep not of this fold, and these words are true not only of this world. These other sheep also hear and know my voice, and I have promised the Father that they shall all be brought into one fold, one brotherhood of the sons of God. And then shall you all know the voice of one shepherd, the true shepherd, and shall all acknowledge the fatherhood of God. "

Answer 7

OK, but I don't believe in God(s), and nobody is saved because there is nothing to be saved from.

Nice piece of scripture for those who need to feel saved though.

Answer 8

It doesn't mean much to me. Jesus, if he existed, is a dead guy. The stories made up about him were written decades after he supposedly died.

I don't live my life by what ancient superstitious people thought.

Answer 9

All I can say is that you are gorgeous and smart!
