It seems you have answered "Yes" to the OP question. After over 140 views there have only been 4 responders. Why is that? Is this a difficult question?

One view, which we will call the prescient or foreknowledge view, teaches that God, through His omniscience, knows those who will in the course of time choose of their own free will to place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation. On the basis of this divine foreknowledge, God...

So far, there has been one "No" response and one "Yes". I'd really like to see some more input from others.

I appreciate your response to my second reply post. As much as I'd like to discuss your comments on sanctification, I won't here and now in order to preserve the topic of the OP. However, I would like to see you briefly and directly respond to the questions I posed in the my first reply to you.

You have answered "Yes" to the OP question; that is, every one who is indeed justified will ultimately be glorified. No exceptions?

This sounds a bit more like what I have come to know as the process of Sanctification, rather than Glorification. That is, new believers start out not knowing and practicing everything that the Scriptures teach but as they mature they (hopefully) learn and apply the commands of the Lord in their...

First, your answer to the OP question is "No"; you think that the justified (believers) are not guaranteed glorification (which I think to be a perfected sinless spiritual body). Second, how do you think the "elect" are different from other believers? You do not seem to equate the terms...

KJV Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he...

The emphasis here I believe is on the translated text. However, there are other differences including arrangement and content. Remember, Tyndale (1528 and 1534/5 editions) was only the New Testament but in a different order than most today. No verse numbers (until Geneva) makes comparison...

You have not looked close enough. I have actually read through an entire 1562 edition of the Geneva New Testament (also a difficult to read Matthews-1537 facsimile, the Great-1540, Bishop's-1602, and Tyndale-1534/5 Newe Testaments). I have begun posts related to early English translations...

The CEV was made for this type of situation. I found the CEV to be preferable to NCV, TEV/Good News, or others. The NLT may also work here.

Indeed, you are correct. So sorry for my mistake. Thank you for having my back, Rip!

I think Mounce would agree that Formal Equivalence is less interpretive than Dynamic Equivalence. In fact, Mounce does not state in that quote that FE is less interpretive. He is only making the point that word-for-word is not completely without interpretation. 'Literal' is not nearly as...

That is only your opinion. It certainly is not mine. By the way, it's the NET (not NEV). Your post (#14) demonstrates you have the ability to locate words in a lexicon. But it also exposes your lack of knowledge about translation. The term "literal" in relation to Bible translation is often...

Not exactly news. Mounce wrote in his Greek for the Rest of Us (2003), What Are Translations? (Chapter 4, p24) -- The other way to translate is to translate meaning. The technical term for this is "dynamic equivalence", or what is now called "formal equivalence". ... Dynamic translation...

Yes, of course. I would expect that a translator would do so. But it sounded like you had found the overly literal YLT "helpful" in some sort of unique way.

Why would an individual that knows the original languages refer to an overly literal English translation? Wouldn't it be better just to go directly to the Hebrew (or Greek, as the case may be)?

Well, yes "Septuagint" is the designation often given to describe early Greek translations of the Hebrew scriptures. But this has almost nothing to do with the rest of you inquiry. Most of the hub-bub is around the Greek Christian writings (aka New Testament). Perhaps, any confusion is...

That is not what the article states. The writer states that another author in another publication article indicates that it was Burgeon's approach (not his texts) that was at fault -- As well, there is a recent article in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society that deals just with...

No name is given because it is an "answer" in the Questions section (under the topic of Textual Criticism at Bible.org). Thus, it is not necessarily subject to having sources listed. Dan Wallace has written the majority of the articles in that section; of course, that doesn't mean he wrote this...
