Why did God create mankind?

[reformedbeliever]

My lack of sinlessness was never in question. You have totally distorted what was being discussed. That is a disgusting debate tactic.

Ok Helen.... whatever. I will not derail this thread, so if you want to debate further you can respond to my thread about "This should be a short thread", I think it was. I'll try to find it and bring it up. Or you could start a new one. Sorry if you think I was attacking you. It seems when one is loosing a debate, they do take it personally.

Hi Reformedbeliever;

The *all* used in the referenced scripture means all sorts of, as it is used by Paul in 1 Tim 6:10. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

I've heard all that I want to hear. The adjective determines the meaning of "all" in 1st Tim 2:4 in any language.

Did any keep the law perfectly? Only Jesus.

Again, it is not that we couldn't, it is that we wouldn't.

It's both. Sinners won't keep the law because they don't want to, but at the same time, sinners can't stop doing evil in the same way that leopards can't change their sposts.
