Well that hermenutic is often employed by calvinists who claim that all means some and some means all. Additionally that Hermenutic is employed by Preterists who claim that the 70AD siege of Jerusalem was the worst tribulation that the world has ever seen, despite the fact that more people were killed in the six year siege that began in 130 AD than were killed in 70AD.
WWII dwarfed any tribulation that had occurred in the first century and yet we are to believe that the 70AD siege was the worst that would ever occur?
Everyone has their inconsistencies. The Bible is true, but our understanding of it is clouded and we see through a glass darkly. I have found that the dispensationalist model is the most consistent interpretive method. You may disagree. We are probably both wrong. When that which is perfect is come, then the whole thing will become clear.
Been there done that. It’s been explained how the biblical use of the word “all” is vastly different than the sleight of hand attempted by Morris. You need a different tune.
Your task is to answer Morris’ critics.

That’s your opinion only. It is not support from any explicit biblical theology. It’s obvious that a person making such a claim does not understand how comparative language is used in the Bible. It’s merely a tactic to scare away the uninformed. It’s won’t work with me.

Yep. Admitting them is the key to growth and knowledge of the truth. That is why I’m not longer a dispensationalist. The inconsistencies are big enough to drive a truck through.
