1 | What do you think of 1 Cor 1:18? | Bible general Archive 1 | Bill Mc | 15547 | ||
Hi Tim, Without straying too far from your subject (please forgive me), what about 1 Cor 1:18? Do you think that this in any way substantiates the, as I put it, 'soul salvation' of being (progressively saved)? Thanks, Bill Mc |

Greetings Bill! I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I did a quick look at how Paul uses the word "save" throughout 1 and 2 Corinthians, but there doesn't seem to be any specific pattern. Sometimes he uses aorist (past tense), sometimes he uses future, and sometimes he uses present. Personally, I view salvation is a similar way to you. It includes regeneration (past), santification (present), and glorification (future). So, Paul may simply use different tenses depending upon how he is looking at salvation. In 1 Cor. 1:18 and 15:2, it may simply be that since we are living, we are being saved. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, thanks for the response. I'll let this one go. The only other meaning that crossed my mind was not a 'progressive' salvation for individuals but, rather, a progressive 'saving' of mankind down through history. Possibly, "but to all the people who are being and will be saved as the generations pass, it is the power of God." I don't know. But thanks, brother, for your input, critique, gentle spirit, and even for your hard questions. Keep contending for the faith. In Christ, Bill Mc |
