The Greek “pan” and derivatives can mean, depending on context, a literal “all” or something more like “all kinds of” or “all manner of.” The famous quotation about the love of money being the root of “all” evil uses the latter sense. There are of course evils which have nothing to do with the love of money.

Which one is intended has to be illuminated by a greater context.

There are two rival theories about what has happened to Israel of old. You “pays your money and takes your choice.” But I say Israel hasn’t disappeared, as one would expect if its role had fallen away, and its hardening is only in part and its hardships are not forever.

You're a welcome addition to the 'it all happened in 70 AD' mantra that is espoused here.
