The "whole world" is the "whole word".
The "world" is the "world".
Okay, those are what's called "tautologies", and they're worthless.
They don't define anything.
That's like going to the dictionary and looking up "potato", and it says, "it's a potato".
Have you seen Matt Walsh's documentary, "What is a Woman?" He went around asking leftists, "What is a woman?", and he could never get a straight answer. The closest he could get was, "A woman is someone who identifies as a woman". But who are they identifying as?
In the same way, saying, "world" means "world" is meaningless. It doesn't convey anything. You simply want the audience to ASSUME it means the same thing as YOU want it to mean, but you can't prove it, which is why you dodge.
You SHOULD say, ""world means every single individual" (which is presumably what you believe), but you will never say that, because then you would have to PROVE it, and you know you can't do that.
You already attempted the following revision: children of Jerusalem Pharisees (Matt 23:37).
Your attempt to stipulate that Jesus wanted to gather only the children of Pharisees totally failed.
No, YOU are the one engaging in "revisionism", YOU are the one trying to turn TWO distinct groups ("you" and "your children") into ONE group, and that is grammatically impossible and intellectually dishonest.
Anyways, let's see what further Reformist revisions are in store for us.
Keep those revisions coming.
Nothing but worthless and insulting ad hominem.
To believe in Jesus is not a choice? Then who does the deciding for you?
I never said that, of course.
Rom 2:15 does not mention hearts and conscience?
That says absolutely NOTHING about an imaginary "ability to believe".
WHy is it that heretics quote Rom. 2, and never bother to keep reading until ch. 3?
Rom. 3:9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
