Bible Note: Dear Brother Tim, Please define for me these verses: Psalm 105:43 "Isreal is called his chosen ones." Psalm 135:4 "The Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself." Deut. 7:6 "The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth." Christ is called, "Christ mine elect." God's angels are called "elect angels." The Church in the N.T. is always referred to as "elect/chosen by God." John 15:16 "YOU HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME, I HAVE CHOSEN YOU." ACTS 13:48-"As many as had been appointed to eternal life believed." (Did this mean that some who were there were not appointed to eternal life and did not believe? hhhhmmm) Rom 9- The elective purposes of God, ie...the Potter and the clay, God chose Jacob and not Esau. Eph 1:11-12- Predestined according to the plan of God. 1st Thess 1:4- We know that God has chosen/elected you. 2nd Thess 2:13- God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation. Luke 4:24-27 only Naaman the Serian was healed of Leaprosy. (and not one Jew) At anytime you can substitute the word elect for chose, chosen, etc... the Hebrew word for chosen is bachiyr- select:--choose, chosen one, elect. The Greek word for chosen is ekloge-meaning (divine)selection (abstractly or concretely):--- chosen, election. Look it up for yourself in "Strongs Bible Dictionary." Elect not defined in Scripture? I don't think so Tim. ") Sola Scriptura, Mike |
