Subject: Aren't the elect commanded to repent? |
Bible Note: Shalom, Tim I have found out that there is a lot more meaning in the word PISTIS then there is in the word believe and I think that most that claim to be Christians don't fully know what is means to believe in Jesus. What I am saying is that there are those that believe they believe but they are not believers. I am sure you know what I mean but there are some that wouldn't have a clue. What I would like to see more of in our churches, at least in mine is a full breakdown of the Koine Greek and Hebrew words, so that people could get the full meaning of what God is conveying to us in his word. Just giving mental assent to the person of Jesus Christ that he existed isn't going to hack it and I really think that this is the idea that people in many churches have when the Bible say to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. A good example too that most believers don't know would be when the Bible speaks about the coming of the Lord. Most would think that the word coming, (PARSOUIA), is a verb, but is not, it's a noun and expresses an event that will involve an extended period of time just like Christ first coming. What do you think, CDBJ |
