The Bible doesn't tell Christians to "go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every person."

It says "go ye into all the COSMOS, and preach the gospel to every CREATURE."

[The Grammarian]

It says "go ye into all the COSMOS, and preach the gospel to every CREATURE."

The Greek word kosmos is correctly translated by the KJV (which you quote) as "world," not "cosmos" as many moderns use the term.

Indeed?

Could you provide the chapter and verse and the translation for the above.

Barukh haba b'Shem Adonai
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord

Which explains Francis of Assisi preaching to the birds.

I don't dispute you; Mark 16:15 does use the Greek word "Kosmos". However, Matthew 28:19 uses "ethnos" which can mean nations or even Gentiles. However, see #6--this quote is the most stirring that might indicate other life forms. (a Greek scholar).

And what is the definition of cosmos? Everytime the word "cosmos" or a form of it is used in the NT it is translated every single time as "world" except for 1 translated "adorning". Are you trying to spin this into meaning the universe?
