What would make Bill so staunch in a belief without Scriptural evidence?

You keep trying to portray falsely that it is past tense. Nothing in this translation indicates whether our sanctification is completed or is still ongoing. It only indicates that we are sanctified at the present time.Peace.David Miller.----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 5:42 PMSubject: Re: [TruthTalk] corrector/revisor

I did not understand Bill this way, but if that is what he is saying, he would be wrong. The phrase "are sanctified" is not past tense. The syntax of "sanctified" looks like a past tense construction, but it is simply a participle construction of the verb "sanctify" that looks the same as the past tense form of the verb. The tense of the verb is present tense, as indicated by the word "are." If it were past tense, the phrase would be "were sanctified" not "are sanctified." The translation presents the reader with a completed task when that is not the case.

It would only be your own personal reading of "are sanctified" that would circumvent ENTIRELY the impact of sanctification as an ongoing event. The phrase is present tense, and hence it does not circumvent anything of the sort. Your confusion in the first paragraph would seem to prove my point. Peace be with you.
