Walla Walla professor’s dealing with the book of Ephesians. ---It is very clear that he allowed himself to be
led by Preteristic Reformed Theology Bible Commentaries. ---Heavenly (places) is not a place for supernatural
spirits like he is suggesting on page 31. “since “the air” (or “the heavenly
places”) is identified as the location of supernatural powers, including evil
ones (compare Eph. 1:3, Eph. 3:10, Eph. 6:12)”. Am I reading him wrong here? ---In the previous lesson it was said that everything
was placed under Christ. However, Hebrews 2:8 put brakes Paul put brakes on the
concept: “but how we see not yet (ou-poo) all things put under Him”. ---Notice also the difference is reading by John
Calvin and Reformed theology and James Armenius/Wesley reading of Ephesians
2:1: It is a case of being dead (ontas nekrous) in trespasses and in sins which
is the Calvinistic KJV reading in English or the Armenius/Wesley understanding of
being dead through trespasses and through sins. The one is born with and the
other is done later by willful activation. ---The one is original sin with Augustine and the other
is when you choose to sin later in your life when you are at the age of been
held accountable. ---People do not die because they have original sin.
They die because they have the death decree over them since Adam. God did not
want sin to be eternal so He pronounced death over everything in this earth,
good or bad. ---Notice in Ephesians 2:3 that the nature that is
children of the wrath is adult decisions. Not original sin babies
accountability. ---We had our conversations in the past, when we
were worldly, with Satan as prince of the air, in the lusts of our flesh and
our participating in it, “fulfilling the desires of the flesh” (baby is out of
the question here), and of the mind (baby is out of the question here, sorry
Calvin, Luther). ---Like others, we were also children of wrath or children
of the prince of the air or of Satan. ---God has sunezoopoiesen us. It is the putting
together of three words: preposition “with/together” + verb “making alive” +
verb “making”. A real sosatie case of putting the food into a stick, adding
more. ---The Sumerian language was like that about 2000
years before Paul. Agglutination. That is the phenomenon similar when you
string words together to form a new word. ---God kickstarted the dead salvation engine says
Paul. Nice. Right?
