(1/4) > >>

Nelson Boils:
Thoughts anybody?

Christ didn't pray for the world.
Paul admonished we pray for the world.

Joel:
I suggest listing all the instances you are referring to in the scriptures.

Joel

Nelson Boils:
1TIM 2
First of all, then, I urge you to offer to God petitions, prayers, intercessions, and expressions of thanks for all people,

 2  for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all godliness and dignity.

 3  This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

 4  who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully.

 5  There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, the Messiah Jesus

VS

John 17

  “I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, because they are yours. perm_identity

 10  All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified through them. xref-1 perm_identity

 11  I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one

Dave in Tenn:
What was Jesus asking on behalf of His disciples that He wasn't asking on behalf of the world?

Rocco:
prayer for the many is different than prayer for the few. One is for civil peace the other is for unity in the spirit
