  • SCHOOLMASTER_ELECTION OF GRACE_ONE TREE - 3 years ago
    Romans 9:11

    (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to ELECTION might stand, not of works, but OF HIM that calls)

    Romans 11:5

    Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the ELECTION OF GRACE.

    Romans 11:7

    What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded ((the Jews))

    Romans 11:28

    As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

    The law so designated by Paul ( Gal. 3:24, 25). As so used, the" "word does not mean teacher, but pedagogue (shortened into the" "modern page), i.e., one who was intrusted with the supervision" "of a family, taking them to and from the school, being" responsible for their safety and manners. Hence the pedagogue was stern and severe in his discipline. Thus the law was a "pedagogue to the Jews, with a view to Christ, i.e., to prepare" for faith in Christ by producing convictions of guilt and "helplessness. The office of the pedagogue ceased when "faith" "came", i.e., the object of that faith, the seed, which is" Christ.

    GALATIANS 3

    But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

    24 Wherefore THE LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

    25 But after that FAITH is come, we are NO LONGER under a schoolmaster.

    26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

    27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

    ***28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus.***

    29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and HEIRS according to the promise.

    Don't preach separatism. Mishael
