No, of course you didn't mis-represent me. The Bible provides ample proof
that sinners can be found all over the world. That sin shows they bear the
broken image of God--an image which Christ, Who is God, renews and makes
new, after his likeness or image. But even though all people bear that
broken image which can be renewed, nowhere does the Bible indicate that in
fact they all do seek--and therefore receive--that renewal.
