“ 'All' means 'all', but is that all 'all' means? ” Regarding the Greek word {pas, Strong's #3956} translated *all* in 1 Timothy 2:4 ("Who will have *all* men to be saved ..."),
I've heard it said that "'All' means 'all', and that's all 'all' means."
Here, however, Pastor Einwechter clearly shows us otherwise.
He informs us that according to 1 standard Greek Lexicon {BAGD}, this word can mean:
everything belonging in kind to the class designated by the noun
every kind of, all sorts of
or {as others have put it} "all without distinction, but not all without exception."
Pastor Einwechter points out that this same word is translated *all_manner_of* (twice) in Matthew 4:23:
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing *all_manner_of* sickness and *all_manner_of* disease among the people.
In Wigram and Winter's "The Word Study Concordance ...", I saw several other places in the NT
where "pas" is also translated as "all manner of":
Matthew 5:11, 10:1, 12:31; Luke 11:42; Acts 10:12; Romans 7:8; Revelation 18:12, 21:19.
So, "Although 'all' means 'all', that's not always all 'all' means."

In "Interaction", mention is made of Abraham Kuyper's "6 Stone Lectures" on Calvinism, given at Princeton Theological Seminary.
