Elect according to the foreknowledge of God. 1 Peter 1:2

This one does give me pause for thought. Chose us in him before the foundation of the world. Then in another scripture it says Jesus or the lamb was slain from the begging of the world. So is this God's foresight and foreknowledge?

Also, another thought, can he chose us in him mean...Chose us in Jesus' through his atonement....because that is is the only way we can be holy and blameless is through his sacrifice. If you continue on in that chapter it talks about the adoption of children by Jesus Christ himself.

So could this just be saying that anyone who accepts the gift of salvation then becomes elected or adopted in him? Since we know other scriptures clearly state that whosoever calls upon him and believes in him shall be saved. To me this states, the prerequisite for salvation.

1¶Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2¶Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3¶Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁷who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in christ :
4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,( for what ? ) that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5having predestinated us unto the adoption( yet future ) of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in christ.
13¶in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, ( the spirit OF adoption )
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance UNTIL the redemption ( ROM 8.23 ) of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Eph 2
1¶And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4¶But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places ...(where? ) in christ jesus :

the central theme of Ephesians is the church composed of believing Jews and Gentiles, which Paul calls a “mysterion”

Yes, I agree with what you say here. It’s called corporate election. But I also believe in personal foreknowledge, and therefore personal election.

If this is your view that’s fine
when you added the words Arminian and Calvin and said something about arminians converting. It made the post useless. Just another inflamitiry post that really does not help your case

????

Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Yes. Divine predestination and election is not compatible with a limited creaturely will in man.

I think the poster means Jeremiah 1:5

???

Psalm 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Before my body was formed, God saw me. I was yet a substance, unperfect, not formed...

When your reading everything from preconceived ideas Or looking to attack a side sadly this is what you get. Which is why I said it’s impossible to have a meaningful conversation

Isn’t glorification a part of salvation, ie the completion of it?

Not before I was in the womb, but before I was formed in the womb. It matches up with Psalm 139. God set Jeremiah apart to be a prophet. What does this have to do with us?

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Not to mention vs 13 and 14 and chapter 2: 8-10

1¶Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,( for what ? ) that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

out of interest, do you hold to eternal security?

Which word is the translation of yomiym

Don't care. I have the exact English word in the KJV.

Why would you question that, when he knows the count of every hair on your head, at any given time?

Its the blessed hope in which God has predestined for every believer .

In the Hebrew, the plural word for yom (day) is used. I don’t see anything that equates to “day” in your version.

It’s also the redemption of our body, ie SAVED from death and corruption.
