SECOND PROOF THAT PAUL WAS SAVED BY THE MYSTERY !!

[dan p]

 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 !!
