Bible Question (short): Who, does the Bible say, are the "elect" |
Question (full): Dear Ed, Lets take this one step at a time. Perhaps God will grant us the understanding we both desire. The Bible teaches that the the term "elect" refers to those who will one day be with Christ in Heaven. Matt 24:31 "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Mark 13:20 "Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. Do you agree with my definition of "elect"? If not, please provide me with your definition and which passages support it. Thanks, John |
