@ronhenzel In Ephesians 2:8, Paul's focus on being 'in Christ' emphasizes what believers obtain through faith, not a predestination of who will have faith. The matching gender between 'mercy' and 'gift' aligns with this context, showing that salvatio...

In Ephesians 2:8, the Greek neuter term 'δῶρον' (gift) aligns in gender with 'ἔλεος' (mercy) from v4, not with 'πίστις' (faith) or 'χάρις' (grace). Considering Paul's complex sentences, could many be wrong about this well known verse and 'it is a gif...
