1 | Is Salvation lump sum? | Heb 7:25 | dodoy | 219970 | ||
Dear Doc, If I understood you correctly, in effect, the "us" and the "we" refer only to the sanctified and faithful followers of Jesus Christ of all ages? If so, then the apostle Paul was, in a way, telling the Church at Ephesus that only the sanctified and faithful followers of Christ were chosen by God and predestined for adoption as sons through Christ, with all others excluded? If this was really what the apostle Paul meant, why did he tell Timothy that God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."? 1 Timothy 2:4, NASB. |

P.S. Doc, doday did get it right about the geocentric theory. I was just trying to make the point that just because something has been the accepted for a long time doesn't mean that there is no room for further inquiry. We shouldn't just simply accept things as true just because we've always been taught that, nor because they are so old, nor because they were taught by someone revered. We were not created simply puppets in a horrible game where we have no role in what happens to us. Rather, we were given minds, knowledge, wisdom, faith, curiosity to learn from what came before us and move ever upward. (I think I recall you having some posts on Progressive Revelation? Doesn't that still apply?) I apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes, or offended anyone. This was not my intention. Truly. Dhaniei |
