Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excellent survey examining the appropriate and controversial Biblical (and a few extra-biblical) texts showing that the majority, if not all, affirm divine election to be not individual but corporate and contemplating not salvation but appointment for service. An illuminating aspect is the author's discussion that the act of God calling does refer to an invitation to salvation but reflects what the people of God are, that is, they are 'the called.' He contends that that nuance of the Greek verb "call" is in the sense of 'to give a name' (p.274). The author provides a thorough examination of all the relevant texts. This study is a serious (although not technical) refutation of the Calvinistic doctrine of election and affirms the Biblical proclamation of Christ's saving work being accomplished for all men although only believers experience its benefits."--Amazon.com.

This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy rages on about God's choosing people for salvation. Are only the few elect? Rather than typically beginning with the preconceptions of systematic theologies, Dr. William Klein takes up this question by searching for a biblical theology of election. He surveys the OT contexts of God's choosing individuals--prophets, priests, kings--to serve divine purposes, and considers God's election of the nation of Israel as his special people. This OT study proposes that God's election is both individual and corporate, but not always determinative. Individuals entered the people of God by birth, but not all the people found salvation. Faith in Yahweh was required. This book traces these elective understandings through the intertestamental literature, identifying continuities and shifts. The bulk of the study, and the heart of the argument, focus on the New Testament. Klein identifies concepts of election, and relationships between writers in the gospels, the Lucan material, Paul's writings, and the rest. The new covenant, God choosing the church in Christ, emphasizes election as corporate, while the individual election of Jesus' disciples and of Paul raises the question whether such chosenness is necessarily salvific. In closing, Klein discusses the most engaging and divisive questions around God's election, and offers a real challenge to today's church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, David Novak conducts an historical, philosophical and theological reflection on the central Jewish doctrine of Israel's election by God, also known as the idea of the chosen people. Historically, he analyses the great change in modern Jewish thought brought about by Spinoza's inversion of the doctrine: that it was not God who elected Israel, but Israel who elected God. The development of that inversion is illustrated by the thought of the German philosopher-theologian, Hermann Cohen. Philosophically, Novak explores the ontological implications of the two differing theologies of election. Theologically, he argues for the correlation of election and revelation, and maintains that a theology of election is required in order to deal with two central questions, namely: who are the Jews, and how are Jews to be related to the world? The constructive picture which results leads to a fresh understanding of Jewish modernity.

Download or read book God’s Elect: The Chosen Generation written by John E Chipman and published by AuthorLoyalty. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical doctrines of election and predestination generate much passion and emotional intensity among Christians. Most theologians have determined that these are doctrines filled with mystery, tension, and paradox which will never be resolved. Author John E. Chipman disagrees. He provides a fresh, biblical viewpoint regarding the perplexing doctrine of election that has the potential to kindle a re-thinking of the way Christians view and talk about God's purpose of election in the New Testament. In God's Elect, Chipman presents a truth that is neither Calvinistic nor Arminian―a truth that is simply, well, biblical. This book makes no claim to be deeply philosophical or scholarly. The arguments are intentionally simple, yet profoundly biblical. If you feel like you are caught in an ever-darkening doctrinal bog of election and predestination, and sense that you have lost God somewhere along the way, then you will want to read God's Elect. In its pages, you will find a path that leads back to the sunlight, back to solid ground, and back to the true God of the Bible.

Book excerpt: "He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world . . ." Among the traditional tenets of the Christian faith is the belief that God chooses or elects people for salvation. For some Christians, such an affirmation is an indication of God's sovereign and perfect will. For others, such a notion is troubling for it seems to downplay the significance of human agency and choice. Throughout the church's history, Christians have sought to understand the meaning of relevant biblical texts and debated this theological conundrum. With care and insight, theologian Mark Lindsay surveys the development of the Christian doctrine of election. After exploring Scripture on this theme, he turns to the various articulations of this doctrine from the early church fathers, including Augustine, and medieval theologians such as Aquinas, to John Calvin's view, the subsequent debate between Calvinists and Arminians, Karl Barth's modern reconception of the doctrine, and reflections on election in the shadow of the Holocaust. On this journey through the Bible and church history, readers will discover how Christians have understood the affirmation that God has chosen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has God decided everything beforehand, in ages past? Or are the choices and decisions made by you and I real choices? The doctrine of election has split the Christian Church. Denominations and congregations have been formed over agreement or disagreement with how election is interpreted. There have been numerous Christian families that have seen members take opposing sides over this teaching. In addition, this doctrine has caused the hearts of many sincere Christians to tremble, fear and at times even give up. Election, to be chosen is a teaching that is taught throughout the Bible. However, the interpretation of election found within many churches misses the meaning that is taught in the Word of God. Election does not mean that God has pre-determined the destiny of a certain few. The primary meaning of election means to belong to God. The present study is an attempt to explain the Biblical teaching of election.

Download or read book Predestined - Elected - Chosen written by Michael Lowery and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries unnecessary confusion and conflict has run rampant throughout the Church concerning the terms predestined, elected, and chosen. It is extremely important that each Believer obtains an accurate understanding of their correct meaning and application. The Christian faith and the very character of God are literally defined by these terms. Do not believe the lie that these terms are too difficult to understand. God wants the issue of predestination settled in every Believer's mind and in the Church. Presdestined - Elected - Chosen, a ten-year journey and God-appointed mission in Michael's life, will accomplish just that. In Predestined - Elected - Chosen you will discover that God has predestined, elected, and chosen... - 'How' eternal salvation would be made available; that is, by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, not of works - 'What' He expects of every Believer who receives Jesus Christ as their Savior; that is, a righteous, sanctified life - 'Purposes' for individuals and entire people groups Did God also predestine, elect, and choose 'who' will and 'who' will not receive eternal salvation? Answering this question is the book's focus. In Predestined - Elected - Chosen Michael takes on 102 'challenges.' These challenges are arguments and Scripture references used by both the Electionist camp (those who support the predestined eternal future view) and the Free-Will camp to support their respective views. No stone is left unturned as these challenges are contested against the scrutiny of thorough Biblical evaluation. The book format makes for an easy read, setup to function as a quick reference guide concerning any Scripture which sheds light on this critical subject. Michael's writing style is also easy to follow, absent of the complicated terms and confusing language typically used by theologians to address this issue. This is such an important issue. The doctrine of Election and the Free-Will view are literally two mutually exclusive religions. Getting this matter settled in the Church is right up there in importance with our understanding that 'salvation is by grace, through faith, not of works.' It is a non-negotiable of the Christian faith. Although theologians and laymen alike have been debating this issue for centuries, Michael has been able to successfully and concisely settle this centuries-old debate once and for all. He has been able to clearly demonstrate which view is in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ found in the Bible. Predestined - Elected - Chosen is a must-read for every Believer. Getting a clear understanding of these terms is absolutely essential to ensure that you are truly 'thoroughly furnished unto all good works' by 'rightly dividing the word of truth' concerning this important matter. It is God's will for you to get this matter settled. God is not hiding the truth from anyone. The effectiveness of the Church to disciple its members and to reach the Unsaved for Jesus Christ depends upon it. Your understanding of the very attributes and character of God depends upon it. The wrong view of the terms predestined, elected, and chosen works against everything God desires to accomplish in this world and in the Church, while it works in perfect cooperation with the desires of Satan to steal, kill, and destroy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Bible Defines: Election It is not uncommon to find the word election defined in a Bible dictionary as “chosen by God for salvation” or something similar. Many dictionaries and lexicons include an alternate definition: “choice, select, best in its class.” A close look at the New Testament will reveal a number of passages where this word occurs without a clear indication of the intended definition. In these passages, how are we to determine which was the intended meaning? The Greek Old Testament is an often-overlooked resource that provides rich scriptural contexts from which to derive the meaning of key biblical words. You are cordially invited to embark on an exploration of Old Testament stories and passages that contain “election.” Along the way, you will see what the inspired writers meant when they used the word in certain stories, such as that of Korah’s rebellion and of the remnant in Isaiah’s prophecy. By the end, you just might find that one of the above definitions has no basis within the pages of scripture.
