And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, 2 Cor 2:13 So did Paul choose to be a believer or did God choose him to be unto belief?

When God began the above where was; the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan. Did that one above, exist at that time and was that one above, at that time the one, as spoken of above? From 1 John 3:8 that from beginning the devil is sinning; Was it foreordained, before...

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided...

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the...

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John Καὶ αὕτη ἔστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἣν ἀκηκόαμεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς φῶς ἐστιν καὶ σκοτία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδεμία That the God light is. And...

Does it say God created them at that moment or that God made them, at that moment, to rule?

When did Saul/Paul the unbeliever become the believer? When exactly were his eyes opened unto belief? What healed his blindness? Would like to ask concerning his repentance but do not know how. Maybe; When did he repent and or become repentant? Qualifying him to be washed by the blood of Jesus?

IMHO GOD by creating man in his own image, yet a little lower than the angels, by creating him of the flesh, because of the death, sold him under the sin and then redeeming him out of death would be the means of destroying, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, the one that from the...

Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through [the] death he might destroy him having the power of [the] death -- that is, the devil -- 2:14 ἐπεὶ οὖν τὰ παιδία κεκοινώνηκεν σαρκός καὶ αἵματος καὶ αὐτὸς...

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. from Gen 1:2 because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, from 2 Cor 4:6 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, from Acts 26:18...

Just a sidenote. I have asked many times on this forum on many threads of those who know Greek. Does the definite article have meaning in the Greek? Relative to the, "this generation". ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης THE generation this What is the meaning of the above? In...

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:1 I wonder; What is the purpose of the new earth?

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. My God My God why has thou forsaken me? or what the...

Who is a Jew? Heck, who is a Gentile? From Gen 48:19 Hebrew - וְזַרְעוֹ יִהְיֶה מְלֹא־הַגּוֹיִם LXX - σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται εἰς πλῆθος ἐθνῶν Seed of him shall become fulness of Gentiles These are the progeny of the youngest son of Joseph. Are they the, "τὸ πλήρωμα τῶν ἐθνῶν," "fulness...

Which IMHO in the exact meaning of, the bosom of the Abraham, in Luke 16. The beggar died in a covenant relationship to God through Abraham. He died in the faith of Abraham. From Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises; And so also did the beggar.
