Title: SECOND PROOF THAT PAUL WAS SAVED BY THE MYSTERY !! Post by: dan p on August 09, 2017, 03:00:51 PM Hi to all and I believe in the verse that follow will show that Paul was the first one saved by Grace and the MYSTERY !!
Gal 1:15 reads But when God was well pleased , the ONE having SEPARATED me from my mother's womb , and having called me by His Grace !! #1, The first verb is IT PLEASED / EUDOKEO is in the Greek AOTIST TENSE , ACTIVE VOICE and in the INDICATIVE MOOD !! #2 , The AOTIST TENSE points to a once only time point as to when Paul was called Gal 1:15 and also to Acyts 9:6 !! #3 , The ACTIVE VOICE means that the subject , God , separated Paul from his mother's womb !! #4 The indicative Mood means Gal 1:15 is a FACT that it happened !! In Rom 1:1 it reads , Paul a slave of Christ Jesus , a called apostle , Having Been SEPARATED for God's gospel !! The Greek word SEPARATED / APHORIZO is in the Greek PERFECT TENSE , ACTIVE VOICE and a PARTICIPLE !! #1 The PERFECT TENSE means that from the time of Paul being separated , called the AOTIST or the Past Tense and from then on it means Paul CONTINUES to be an apostle forever as the PRESENT TENSE means continuous action !! #2 The Greek word APHROIZO can be translated by the following words , SEPARATED , LIMITED or by BOUNDARY !! #3 This means that Paul LIMITED to only preach the Gospel of God and never preach the Kingdom of Heaven gospel !! dan p |
