Yes the apostle Paul to correct the error of the Jews.
Cv5, do you think the statement below is unsound doctrinally, or would you agree in part or in whole? Let me know
On further reflection, I think there is a sense where corporate election is true. And also individual election is true.
The Jews were promised the land and were given the oracles of God because of the promise God made to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were beneficiaries to the immutable promises God made to the Patriarchs. Immutable in that they had a certain fulfillment, but the ultimate fulfillment and continued fulfillment would only be received by those who were not only children according to geneology, but also children according to the faith of Abraham
Just as the promises to the Jews were certain due to the immutable promises God made to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and their identification with Him, the promises of the New Covenant with a better hope, a better Mediator, better promises, a better land, etc are granted and certain to us who believe because of our identification and union with Christ.
Chosen in Him
But it is also a personal election because the Lord from eternity has known who are His, and He has loved us as individuals from everlasting to everlasting and predestinated us to be an adoption and to be conformed to the image of Christ before we were born, even before the earth’s foundation
Ie. Foreknowledge.
