Subject: Who are the just? What is Faith? |
Bible Note: Hi CSM, Just to clarify. I'm not completely following your logic here. 1. Are you saying that we could simply substitute the name "God" where we see grace used and the name "Jesus" where we see faith used and we'd be OK? In this case, Eph. 2:8 would read "for by God are we saved by Jesus..." (???) 2. I don't see that Jesus is being described as "faith" in Rom. 9:30-33. I think that a bit a "reading into the text" something that's not there. Its' focus is that of showing that Israel seeking righteousness by works! 3. Your approach seems a bit novel- no offense. You also appear to be bordering on Modalism by making the distinctions "God is grace, Jesus is Faith, The Holy Spirit is the power of God". If I've misunderstood you, my apology, if not might you provide some additional clarification:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
