Questions From A KJV-Onlyist

My suspicion is you don't want this part of it to fall under your "context" explanation, so you think it doesn't.

Oh, but it does! It was the disciples He was directly addressing who were told to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Our commission is found in the book of Acts, "you shall be witnesses unto Me, . . . . to the uttermost parts of the earth."

Colossians 1:23

Nobody can possibly be that dumb. You have no concept of context at all, do you? Have you ever heard the word "hyperbole?" How about "metaphor?" Either of those ring a bell?
