these words of John the Baptist as recorded by the Apostle John
certainly do not suggest God made a mistake in giving John these words
to say... if indeed John is saying that the Lamb of God takes away the
sin of every man, woman and child who ever was and whoever will be.

if that were so, John the Baptist would be in direct contradiction
with Christ who says He lays down Hid life for the sheep.
( John. 10:11 ) not every man, woman and child who ever was and ever
will be are His sheep... those who heard Jesus on that occasion are
exempted at least.

if Christ's atonement is universal, as the will worshiper hopes, he
must logically admit the murderous Islamic extremists are included in
that number... as well as Hitler, Stalin and Judas Iscariot.

even the papists are greedy enough to say only they are saved.

here we have the Bible word ' world.. cosmos ' used by the Apostle
John in one of the 7 different ways he explains doctrine. the usage
here in John 1:29 can only mean ' men out of every tribe and nation
but not all tribes and nations as a whole.'
