Hi Steven!
Well Steven you remember how PAS was coved in much detail before. The
augment was that since PAS was used obviously in a limited sense else were.
And that it was actually used in a limited sense in 1 Timothy then that
suggested that it was being used in this limited sense in 1 Timothy 2:4. I
was later bothered by this line of reasoning so when John 1:3 came up it
started me thinking about it again. Then Phil. 4:6 came up and started
looking for guide lines in the use of PAS. I think it very important to
know how PAS is being used. I believe the context makes the use of PAS
clear in John 1:3. And BDAG, page 782, entry (1)beta, would seem to make
its use clear in 1 Timothy 2:4. Don't you think so?
As far as your question about PANTAS ANQRWPOUS in Acts 22:15. I believe
that really does take us to the heart of the matter. It would also seem to
fall under the guide lines of BDAG entry (1)beta. It seems to me Steven,
that we can take PAS in a relative sense and still not have exclusions.
That is, all according to ones ability reach or all one comes in contact
with or all you are anointed to speak to. It would still be all. There
would not be intentional exclusions. The same would be true in 1 Timothy
2:4. There would not be any intentional exclusions. But what do you think?
Best,
Harry Jones
