<x-charset iso-8859-1>We need to understand the meaning of a word in context.
There are many places where the word KOSMOS does not literally mean every
single person in the world, such as in John 12:19
IDE hO KOSMOS OPISW AUTOU APHLQEN

But it does seem the height of eisegesis to say that KOSMOS in John 3:16
means "the Christians."
