yes, but an equal number seem to suggest it. A lexicon led me to the differing interpretations for the word in question, and even substituting "possibly" does not exactly indicate Universality.

no, i don't doubt that has anything to do with the kingdom, Esaias, and i note that it is quotes from Christ that seem to be giving you guys the most trouble. So nice try, but i didn't notice you chiming in when i quoted Christ at Mike and he was twisting in the wind; where were you then?

you cannot quote me saying any of that, however, so this amounts to an exposition of your misunderstanding wadr.
