Ephesians 1-3

[wolfpurplemoon]

Those that are blessed were predestined to be saved, God chose them before the foundation of the world.

Everyone near and far has been preached to in peace and are therefore no longer foreign to each other as they are fellow citizens in God's household.

Paul had the divine secret made known to him by revelation, a secret not disclosed to any previous prophets, that everyone can be saved rather than just the chosen few (though they have to have been predestined as it said in the previous chapter). Paul's calling is to reveal this secret plan to everyone after it was hidden for ages.

The love of Christ surpasses all knowledge so you can be filled up to the fullness of God, you don't want knowledge filling up space that could be used for God.

Why in the world are you so very rude? How are your opinions more right than anothers, and why is it you feel the right to be down right antagonistic while getting so hateful when someone else does the same? You use the name zen, which I'm guessing comes from buddhist beliefs. Buddhists believe in the equality of beings, doing onto others, moral principles....so instead of bashing those with opposing beliefs that you feel are such hypocrites, take some time and focus on your own shortcomings.-sue
