Many people have difficulty processing quantifiers, such as "all" or "some," logically. I am blessed to have a mathematics background. In a course in set theory and number theory, I was introduced to the symbol ∀ which means "for all ..." and the symbol ∃ which means "there exists ..." and many other symbols. These quantifiers were used incessantly and their meanings and relations to one another became engrained in my thinking for life. Many of the errors I see in reasoning are related to the misuse of quantifiers. Of course, if *_all_* men are mortal then *_some_* men are mortal. Unless one says "some but not all," "some" is included in "all."

That's not what the Greek meaning of the word "ALL" indicates. The Greek language states there are two meanings for the word "ALL" 1. It means ALL in everything 2 it means some of ALL

[@rubiks6]

@@DogSoldier1948 - Please relisten from (10:31) to (11:22). My post is a response to this. I have no idea why you are talking about the Greek language. However, your post made me relisten to the entire video, searching to figure out what you are talking about. I did not discover an answer but there's no harm in listening to the lecture a second time.

This deep background helps to put a lot of things in perspective. I know understand the whys I was not aware of

[@WhoGitDaBiscuit]

Descartes had De horse before De Cart. Much like Calvinist’s.👍

To what personal possession of Calvinists are you referring?

[@ThemantleofElijah]

If you think in your fallen sinful ways that you possessed the ability to just believe on God or believe in Christ your deceived. You reject the truth, Jesus himself said that no man comes to me accept the father draws him, and nobody comes to the father except through the son. To think that a man dead in sins and trespasses against God can come to the ability to simply believe on Christ on their own is one of the greatest deceptions of satan.
