One thing I have noticed on this site as well as with people I have dealt with is the simple rejection of verb tense so as to hold onto a doctrine that is false. God inspired every word of the bible as originally written primarily in Hebrew and Koine Greek. The verb tenses applied in the bible have been INSPIRED by God and cannot, yea must not be chunked under the table so as to espouse any one doctrine. If the verb tense does not jive with your theology, then your theology is flawed or in error....There are numerous examples found throughout scriptures where verb tense is rejected in favor of a flawed doctrine....The present tense application of "HAS" and "HATH" as applied unto salvation, eternal life, justification and sanctification is one example of how verb tense is rejected when it comes to the current possession of the 4 listed....
When it comes to the coming (parousia) I.E. Body presence of Christ the bible is clear on this as well....In Revelation we find the following as applied unto Christ..
WAS<---Past tense
Is<------Present tense
IS to COME<---Future Tense
There is but ONE coming of JESUS left and ALL things written must JIVE with his ONE coming that was yet future when John under inspiration penned the Book of Revelation.....
It is a crying shame that many are led astray by false teachers who reject the verb tenses that have been inspired by God....John 3:16 is one such example....the verb tense used indicates a present continuing result from a past completed action!
Those who have exercised saving faith (Whosoever believes in Him) should not be perishing, but is HAVING everlasting life...
I had everlasting life when I believed
I have everlasting life right now
I will continue to have everlasting life into the future
ALL based upon the continuing result of my past completed action<---I believed in HIM!
