Pilgrim. Why does EVERYTHING have to end up in a belabored thesis of conjecture? I have in no way presented anything tha is contrary to scriopture. And I do nto have the time to prepare a 90 page thesis on every verse.
In all honesty, can you show me where I asked you to produce a 90 page thesis on every verse? What I DID ask is if you would exegete at least ONE text, preferrably more but one at a time would suffice. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" /> And if this means a 90 page thesis to do so, then 1) you need to learn what "exegesis" means, and 2) you should really strive to improve your articulation of what you believe so that it is, precise, profound and cogent. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have asked you a simple question.

If those in Christ are not under condemnation, and we are given to Christ in eternity, why can I not conclude the we are justified in eternity?
Because one is not "in Christ" until one believes upon Him. Faith is that which unites one to Christ and which reconciles one to God in Christ.

In His Grace,
