Transferred into Christ?

You have produced nothing to support the claim we are “TRANSFERRED INTO CHRIST’S SPIRITUAL BODY”

Being transferred into His kingdom is not the same thing as being transferred into His spiritual body, but I am confident you cannot understand that truth.

This is a very common thing you do where you take a passage and redefine the words to mean something other than what is taught.

That is why your theology is so messed up.

peace to you

 

Again, changing the words of the passage to fit your belief.

The passage says we are, chosen for salvation “from the beginning… through sanctification (set apart) by the Spirit”

You change the plain meaning to being set apart “in Christ”, which is not what the passage says.

You want it to mean we are set apart after we believe and God credits our faith as righteousness, correct?

The passage is a clear statement from f election prior to salvation.

peace to you

 

Holy Scripture uses the term, "spiritual.body,' to refer to Christ's resurrection body: 1 Corinthians 15:44, It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

 

Exactly!!!

To say we are “transferred into Christ’s spiritual body” is to say we have literally merged into His body. Not that we a part of a community, but in some way, we become Christ Himself.

I really don’t believe folks are thinking this through very well.

peace to you

 

Again, you are changing the words of the passage… to fit your belief.

“you are chosen from the beginning for salvation” becomes chosen from the beginning of the inauguration of new covenant.

“chosen from the beginning” becomes chosen after you believe.

Utter nonsense

peace to you

 

Apparently, no amount of scripture in context will lead you change your understanding.

But do not deceive yourself into believing your understanding is the “exact inspired meaning” of these passages.

Your understanding of biblical word meaning is not inspired and your every thread has the same theme of let’s change the meaning of the passage.

The very notion we are chosen AFTER we believe destroys the meaning of the words “chosen”, “beginning”, “sanctification” (set apart)

peace to you

 

You are confusing scriptures by attempting to make Pauline points from the Jewish Christian epistles. It is the apostle Paul who was given the comprehensive revelation of the mystery of Christ and it was Peter himself who said what Paul wrote was hard to be understood. Hardly an admission of a man who had been given the same revelation as Paul, don't you think?

2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;(Hebrews?)
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (twist or pervert), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, (the error of the wicked were the Judaizes teaching they must keep certain parts of the law of Moses to be saved) fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Peter's emphasis was not on gentiles or the mystery of Christ, but on his own countrymen, the strangers of this land.

1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation (this is the KEY to understanding this epistle - this is the generation of Jesus Christ and will end in AD 70) , a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

The church of Jesus Christ is a body, not a nation.

This generation of Abraham's seed has been tasked to receive the kingdom but they failed through unbelief and efforts of the Judaizers. Only a remnant believed after they were given the light of the gospel. (See He 6 and 10.and Jude and 2 Peter 2)

One will need to throw their theology books away and focus on believing the OT and the prophets (it is not hard to do as you have been told) are something besides figurative language without any real meaning if he will ever understand these wonderful truths that we are privileged to read in a KJV Bible. Before the physical kingdom of Christ, that is promised in the prophets is established, all the citizens must be previously saved. This is how Peter is thinking when he writes to the strangers.

Do not be stubborn and refuse to consider what I am telling you. It is my understanding that had these people believed the gospel wholesale, Jesus Christ would have established his earthly kingdom by fulfilling the prophecies of the OT beginning in 70 AD.

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is spiritual before it is physical but when it is finished it is both.

As far as I know, none of the 12 apostles ever preached the gospel in Europe where the gentiles live.

May the Lord be pleased with my handling of his wonderful word in this post.

 

In 1 Corinthians 15:44 the terminology "spiritual body" is used to describe the resurrection body.
