John expanded the scope of people Christ atoned for. The Day of Atonement was for the nation of Israel, even though not everyone was included. Christ’s atonement is for the world in the sense that it is not limited to just Israel.The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Excellent Sheila! That is what I've come to believe.What /Who is the sin of the world?
John chapter 16:8-9 states the Holy Spirit Will reprove the world of sin because they believe not on me. Verse 11 says of judgment because the prince of this world is judged
2 Corinthians 4:4 says in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believes not.
I feel it's referring to the final phase of judgment - when Lucifer's sentence is carried out - that the devil is the sin of the world.
Yet if that is true, why did he say there was an unforgivable sin?Only Christ can take away anyone's sin.
Not all sin is taken away. Only the sin of those He died for are taken away.Yet if that is true, why did he say there was an unforgivable sin?
Matt 12
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
And who would those be?Not all sin is taken away. Only the sin of those He died for are taken away.
He did mean all manner of sin. But that doesn’t mean all sin is forgiven, which is evidenced by that very passage.And who would those be?
"All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men(mankind)"
Did he not mean all?
I don't follow your point. Are you pegging on the "anyone's" I mentioned?Yet if that is true, why did he say there was an unforgivable sin?
Matt 12
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Clearly if someone rejects God they are not able to be saved, it is a sin that they made that decision and having made it and rejected God it has indeed become an unforgivable sin.Yet if that is true, why did he say there was an unforgivable sin?

We all rejected God until we didn't. He does not give up on those he chose to save. They WILL be his.Clearly if someone rejects God they are not able to be saved, it is a sin that they made that decision and having made it and rejected God it has indeed become an unforgivable sin.
I would agree with that but up to a point, I am talking about those who are absolute and non changing in their rejection, they are in fact at war with God. Anyone can be saved some will never allow God to save them.We all rejected God until we didn't. He does not give up on those he chose to save. They WILL be his.
Nor did God intend to save them. Or do you think they are more powerful than God?I would agree with that but up to a point, I am talking about those who are absolute and non changing in their rejection, they are in fact at war with God. Anyone can be saved some will never allow God to save them.

I'm no expert in Greek but studying the word used it does not say 'sins of the world' but 'Sin of the world'.
