So, you do not believe in the theory that God elects us before we know anything about Christ?

What does that mean to you?

That's fine, but when you take the wine, you don't actually taste blood.

Amen!

The Grace of God is His power to become like Him and have no desire to sin. One of the Semitic writing styles is parallelisms. Saying one thing two different ways. One confirms the other. Acts of the Apostles 4:33 " And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord...

We have different views. I already stated mine. We are being glorified now. It is part of the divine nature of God that we are partakers of, perfecting us more and more into Christ's image and nature.

I know his view on outer darkness is different than mine, and mine is not cased in cement. LOL

Yes, they thought it was literal, rather than spiritual.

No, but it may just be semantics. I've never gotten into a discussion on this with him.

That is a good definition and better than most people's on here.

ROFL Sounds like a man! Show him this. 1 Corinthians 7: 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

Semantics, maybe. I would say "fully glorified" is His perfection in us. I see sanctified back to back with justification at the same time, so past tense once we are born again.

That was a little confusing. So what is your definition of grace concerning sin?

All eight chapters are Old Covenant vs. New Covenant and lead to the culmination of the covenant of the Spirit.

If you make a doctrine out of 4 or 5 alone, you can easily make a false doctrine. But if you see the context of 6, that PREVENTS the false teaching. See why it is dangerous to think chapter 4 is distinct? Romans 4: justification without the law. Romans 5: not under law, but under grace. Romans...

I like that verse in Acts 17:30. Thanks. I'll write this ref. in my Bible at Romans 3:25 where it is better explained there. I have written these parallels all over my Bible. I like to see new ones. :) : Romans 3: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as...

No it is part of the 8 chapter section, but is NOT a section in itself out of context.

You believe "fully sanctified" is perfection. That is the error of believing sanctification is the name of the process we go through as maturing Christians. There are three stages when we come to Christ: Justification - All our past sins and unrighteousness has been taken away, including the...

If you know how Hebrew people write, you would know that two of the Semitic writing styles are contrasts and parallelisms. Westerners, like us, are blind to this unless you have advanced study on the habits of the writers of the Bible. Then they are obvious. 1 John 1 have contrasts from verse 5...

That is true, however you can tell by CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT. That is something a few people on the forum fight against, especially in Romans and 1 John.
