But doesn't it say "all things" and not "salvation"?

Try the verse immediately preceding the "quote mine" you just used.
When one quote mines as you did by quoting this verse out of context, all things are possible, including completely misunderstanding what the author of Matthew was actually saying. You know, I hate it when theists quote mine to support a position which cannot be validated. I hate it even more when atheists do the same thing. Norm |

Well, sorry bout the "quote mine"
Did I know I was quote-mining? I interpreted it out of context. Sorry if it's really that easy to interpret it IN context.
