Anti-LDS Critic: "All" does not mean Always mean "All"


In 1 Corinthians 13:7, Christians are told to believe “all things.” What are “all things”? . . . Bible readers need to be careful when the word “all” is in the biblical text. “All” needs to be kept in the immediate context. Clearly, “all” should be restricted to the context of the passage and not be understood to encompass all spiritual things or all physical things. (Matthew A. Paulson, Breaking the Mormon Code: A Critique of Mormon Scholarship Regarding Classical Christian Theology and the Book of Mormon [Livermore, Calif.: WingSpan Press, 2006], 54)
