This is a cut-and-paste from an unknown source, that appears to use systematic theology to define Biblical vocabulary, rather than vice-versa. I don't know how conversant the authors were with the semantic domain of the term kosmox.

When the jews spoke of the "world" they were usually speaking of The gentile nations around them.

That's certainly not true. When they spoke of "the nations," that is true, but "world" was not used to show the non-Jew. kosmox was used in the LXX to represent "universe," "inhabited earth," and "humanity," 3 TDNT 867 at 882.

If Christ holds agape love for those he will condemn for an eternity of fire one might really be concerned what kind of love that is.

It might be theologically inconvenient, and not very neat, but it is what the text says, and as Protestants, we're supposed to subjugate our theology to the text, not vice versa. kosmos is never used to describe just the elect in any other verse; why would it be here?

That was from Strongs.

Would you say you know more than those men?

Your pride is overwheleming Jude.

Someone that spoke greek told me you would be embarrassed by your post on love someday.

But they do not know you as well as I do
