Greetings Joe! As always, excellent comments my friend! May I comment on one of your points though? You wrote: "In almost every case, the "rejection" or "wandering away" is from "THE faith," not "YOUR faith."" One possible explanation of these fact could simply be that Paul is always writting to someone else, other than the ones who departed from the faith. So, he wouldn't use 'your faith' when talking to those who haven't departed! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: You wrote: "May I comment on one of your points though?" I would feel neglected if you didn't! :) "One possible explanation of these fact could simply be that Paul is always writting to someone else, other than the ones who departed from the faith. So, he wouldn't use 'your faith' when talking to those who haven't departed!" True enough, but we could substitute whatever personal pronoun you like. Other than the case of Hymenaeus and Alexander ("their faith"), I do not recall any other instances of a personal pronoun being used with "faith" when referring to apostasy. And, as I have stated before, in their case it could very well mean their previous confession of faith being shipwrecked by their blasphemy. May God's blessing be upon you today! --Joe! |
