Was Christ the Lamb slain before or from the foundation of the world? This seemingly simple translation question carries profound theological implications. Join us as we challenge conventional wisdom and dive deep into the intricate debates surrounding Revelation 13:8. We dissect the views of the Wadester, a gospel sharer who opposes the pre-creation sacrifice of Christ, and offer a robust critique grounded in scriptural references, including Paul's teachings in Ephesians. We'll reaffirm that God's choice of His followers predates the world's creation, solidifying the doctrines of election, predestination, and determinism.
Ever wondered about the timing of the Lamb's sacrifice and its significance for the Lamb's Book of Life? We explore Revelation 17:8 and 1 Peter 1:18-20 to uncover the divine foreordination of salvation. By analyzing these passages, we highlight God's sovereign role in salvation and refute the Arminian view of equal opportunity without divine intervention. Our discussion provides clarity on the predestination of the elect, ensuring that those destined for salvation were known to God long before creation, offering believers a foundation in theological certainty.
In a world swayed by human logic and celebrity, we underscore the necessity of divine intervention for true salvation. Through biblical references like Matthew 7 and the conversion of Paul, we emphasize that salvation is a divine initiative, not a result of human choice. We'll critique modern Christianity's tendency to prioritize human reasoning over God's sovereignty and discuss the urgency and authenticity required in preaching the gospel.
