"Paradoxically Chosen"
A paradox is defined as "A statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth. " http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/paradox
The term Chosen is a synonym of "Elect" which is defined as "Theology . a person or persons chosen by God, esp. for favor or salvation" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/elect
When I say "Chosen" I'm talking about being set apart by God. When I say Paradoxically I'm referring to our internal paradox. We are given freedom, reborn as saints yet our flesh remains trapped in sin. We are adopted into the house of God yet so often like the pig we return to the mud. Our two natures contradict themselves within ourselves turning us into walking paradoxes.
In this blog I will be talking about; Christianity, God, and the Bible. I plan on throwing out some ideas and opinions, some things I've discovered and anything that God puts on my heart to write. You won't agree with everything I say here, and that is fine I won't claim to get everything right. God is the holder of all wisdom and he gives it out as he see's fit. I pray that I don't say anything too foolish. Feel free to comment on any of my posts.
