1 | Subsequent process | 1 Cor 1:2 | BornOne | 228434 | ||
biblicalman I would not use 2Thes 2:13 to indicate that the sanctification process starts before we become Christians. Is there any reason to indicate that the "from the beginning" is referring to anything other than God's choosing of us (predestinating us from before the foundation of the world) unto salvation? The process of sanctification of the Spirit doing the work in us starts from the time we believe the truth. In what sense would you say we are sanctified before we believe? Yes, I appreciate that, in the eternal mind of God, we always were His but that speaks more of justification than sanctification, which (if the word means anything distinctive) is a subsequent process. |

2 | Gen 6: Schofield notes | Gen 6:1 | BornOne | 228432 | ||
Thank you for your thoughts. This may be a little doctrinally contentious so we may need to end agreeing to differ. I have some regard for the respected C.I.Schofield and his study of the KJV Bible and I tend to agree with his conclusions here: "Some hold that these sons of God were the angels which kept not their first estate (Jude 6). It is asserted that the title is in the OT exclusively used of angels. But this is an error (Isa 43:6). Angels are spoken of in a sexless way. No female angels are mentioned in scripture and we are expressly told that marriage is unknown among angels (Mat 22:30). The uniform Hebrew and Christian interpretation has been that verse 2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and the godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth (Gen 4:26). For apostasy there is no remedy but judgment (Isa 1:2-7, 24, 25; Heb 6:4-8; 10:26-31). Noah, "a preacher of righteousness" is given 120 yrs but he won no convert and the judgment predicted by his great grandfather fell (Jude 14, 15; Gen 7:11)." That is Schofield's note on the subject, I see no reason to differ with him. | ||||||
