Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
English “us” and “our” join apostle Paul to God’s “election” as explained in prior posts. The writers of the New Testament are specifically writing to God’s “election” when they use the pronouns “we” “us” “our” “ourselves” “your” and “us-ward”. “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel”. Jesus in prior bible quote is referring to the Apostle Paul. English “chosen” in Acts 9:15 was translated from Greek noun 1589 ekloge which was translated into English noun “election”. English “chosen” in John 15:16 that follows was translated from Greek verb 1586 eklegomai which is the verb form of Greek noun 1589 ekloge. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos describes God’s “elect”. God’s “election” are God’s “chosen” “elect” are one in the same. Acts 9:15 and John 15:16 confirm that the Apostle Paul and Jesus’ disciples are among God’s “seven thousand” “elect” and reaffirm the fact that the writers of the bible are communicating directly with God’s “election” with words “we” “us” “our” “ourselves” “your” and “us-ward”.
English “creature” was translated from Greek noun 2937 ktisis which was correctly translated into English “the whole creation” in “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now”. Jesus said “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division”. The bible is designed to divide human beings as Isaiah 28:13 documents: “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken” whereby they are removed from God’s New Testament/covenant/contract and from God’s process pursuant to God’s will. There is God’s “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” and there are “the rest” of God’s creatures “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”.
