It's apparently a minority view expounded by universalists such as William Barclay. But the problems with such a flimsy exegesis are undoubtedly why this has remained a minority view.Ryan H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12772868175172789393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268539650499556740.post-59100881470952796742011-03-23T18:17:39.138-06:002011-03-23T18:17:39.138-06:00Bell's exegesis is surprisingly bad.
