The subject of the sentence 10:14 is the ONE OFFERING
so Bill is saying it is "Not yet Complete"

sanctification requires
the cooperation of the one being sanctified;

That's fine, Judy, but who in this
discussion has argued that to sanctify does not mean the same as to
set apart? That is not even a point of contention. Do you agree that
this participle in Heb 10.14 reflect a sanctification which is
passive (i.e., the action is being performed by someone other than the
subject) and not yet complete? Bill
I have no idea what you are talking about
Bill. However I do understand Hebrews 10:14
and the word "sanctified" in this instance
means "set apart" in the same way that an unbelieving
wife is "set
apart" in 1 Cor 7:14 which is "set apart in the sense that she is
become the object of
focus because of the faith and influence of
her husband. It would be impossible for her to be
sanctified in any other sense because she
remains unregenerated and dead in her trespass and
sin.
Fair enough. Do you accept the
present passive thrust of this verb? My impression is that you do
not.

Are you living in some kind of delusion
Bill?
My understanding of that text remains
the same as it was, so please let's deal with reality
here
rather than presumption.
