Lessons

The lesson on September 17, 2017 was part 30 of “The U, V and W of Right Division”.  This lesson looked at Romans chapter nine, which is where the Calvinist sets up camp and says “here it is”… what we learn is that the context of Romans 9 is not personal salvation but Israel because Romans 9 is in the middle of the Acts period.  Wayne draws the context of the two hardening that occurred, the first was in the Gospels with God using their hardened heart to add on hardening that drove His purpose being accomplished at the cross.  Next, in the Acts period,  those that did not accept Christ as Saviour by their free will were then hardened to the end of the Acts to accomplished God’s eternal purpose, the revelation of The Mystery after judgement was passed in Acts 28.  PAul the prisoner then reveals The Mystery in Ephesians.  The scripture reading was in Romans 9:1-6 KJV

“1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:”
