For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all

And this is supposed to mean that "all men" will be saved?

“And this is supposed to mean that “all men” will be saved?”

No. The passage is about God extending mercy to the Gentiles and His future plans for Jews.
As such, mercy has been extended to each in turn. All individuals, however, are not saved,
as the rest of Romans makes clear.

best,
ampu
