B-Greekers,
   
  A friend of mine recently wrote me the following:
   
  Col 1:20 KJV And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
  
Notice the phrase “to reconcile...” The verb is an infinitive which indicates present action going into the future. What is to be reconciled? All things. And if He has to reconcile all things, they are not already reconciled. It is NOT written that all things HAVE BEEN reconciled. 
   
  Is my friend correct?
   
  Thanks in advance,
   
  K. Kramer
