The ''context'' determines the extent or significance of the word "all." Sometimes, the word could be accurately translated as "all within the specific group" or "all sorts of" (similar to the word "many"). '''This should be obvious, but many false teachings or attacks against the Bible originate in ''not'' paying attention to this fact!'''


==Examples==

*When Adam names "all" the animals, it refers only to those that were present at that time in the garden. Those on the other side of the earth weren't there! (Genesis 2:19-20)

*When Jesus tells us that "all things are possible with God," he does ''not'' include things that are contrary to God's nature or purpose! Some things ''are'' impossible with God, such as lying - which goes against his nature! (Matthew 19:26 compared with Hebrews 6:18)

*When we read that "in Christ all will be made alive," it does ''not'' refer to those who are ''not'' "in Christ"! The statement only applies to "those who are Christ's" (as the next sentence says). Those ''not'' "in Christ" are still ''dead'' in their sins, and will stay that way, unless they repent. (1 Corinthians 15:22-23)

*How many kinds of animals have been tamed by humans? "''Every'' kind?" At least a huge number that goes beyond what we can count; but not 100% of all species ever known to exist!

'''Adam and the naming of the animals'''
:'''Genesis 2:19-20''' - Out of the ground Yahweh God formed ''every'' animal of the field, and ''every'' bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called ''every'' living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to ''all'' livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to ''every'' animal of the field; ... 

'''Things that are "possible" with God'''
:'''Matthew 19:26''' - Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God ''all'' things are possible." (Mark 10:27 says the same thing. Luke 18:27 says the same thing, but ''without'' the word "all": "But he said, 'The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.' " 

:'''Hebrews 6:18''' - ... it is impossible for God to lie, ... 

'''Those who are made alive in Christ'''
:1 Corinthians 15:22-23  For as in Adam ''all'' die, so also in Christ ''all'' will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming. 

'''How many animals have been tamed?'''
:'''James 3:7'''  For ''every'' kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
