Further on from yesterdays little treatise on 1 Timothy 2.4, it occurred to me earlier this morning, that perhaps 2 Thessalonians 3.2 is a much better example to illustrate the fact that the "all" in 1 Timothy 2.4 cannot possibly mean that God "desires" every man "to be saved" as the NASB and ESV render it. For we know that many men in fact DO have faith! So the "all" in 2 Thessalonians 3.2, likewise cannot mean every man, or not?
Otherwise we are all in real trouble! Let us "rightly divide the word of truth".
