Favoritism in Unconditional Election

Rhema appears here


Romans 10:8
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Romans 10:17
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:18
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.


The Holy Bible: King James Version (Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version.; Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009).

I see nothing particularly significant in its use
Rhema is just the root word. rhēmatos is the spoken word, statement, someone saying, or utterance, and appears in only 7 places.

If you feel comfortable with your claim, then why not take the challenge I put forth to you?

Your appeal to ignore the Greek root of any word is very problematic. Did you listen to @Johann about Morphology? What good is Morphology when you're not only ignoring it you have no idea of the etymology of the source?

I would like to see a systematic approach somewhere here. I want to deal with Greek Grammar and Syntax but I don't see it will be meaningful to you nor @Johann when you take such silly and self serving approaches when dealing with how languages are constructed.

I will say this, the problem with your approach thus far is significant. I can prove that authors of the NT used these words interchangeably. As much as you want to see a meaningfulness in a derivative of "Rhema", it is obvious the authors didn't see it your way.

More absurdity

They really really want to replace Christ and they don't often even realize it.

Christ was/is favored. It is a Satanic influence in their flavor of election.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So much for their false claims to uniquely find "grace" among men.

So what?
