나는 아직 땅에 앉아 있는데 어떻게 그리스도와 함께 하늘에 앉을 수 있는가?
질문에 감사합니다. 짧은 대답은 그리스도와 함께 이미 "영광을 입은" (로마서 8:30) 그리고 "함께 일으켜진" (골로새서 3:1) 것과 같은 방식입니다. 너무 전문적인 용어를 사용하지 않고 설명해 드리겠습니다. 바울의 주장의 강도와 총체성을 간략히 이해하기 위해, 세 가지 본문을 모두 살펴보겠습니다: 로마서 8:30: 그리고 그가 미리 정하신 자들을…

Can your briefly explain election in Romans 8:29-30?

Theological Flowerbeds - D.A.I.S.Y. vs. T.U.L.I.P.

KJV-Only, Error of Errors: The 1611 KJV Preface Disagrees with KJO
