Saints

On a lighter note  The Day after halloween is ALL Saints Day  November 1st

ALL Saints day...it is a babylonean feast that was set up by early roman church.

I found this interesting of what people think a saint is:

In Roman Catholicism, a person of great spirituality who has died, is responsible for at least three miracles, and who has been elevated to the sainthood by the church.

In Protestantism, a saint is one of the ancient leaders of the church, like St. Peter and St. Paul.

In Evangelical Christianity, all saved Christians are saints

Three 'stupid' definitions...since none are saved but are being saved

...is Saint a collective term for those being saved....then that would have to include the unbelievers too.  Hagios...Hagios  from hagos (an awful thing) compare G53, [H2282]; sacred (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated): - (most) holy (one, thing), saint.

Somehow I think that paul was using it with  different meaning in mind...but then again from God's perspective this too could be true.   ;D

1Co 1:2  Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

1. Already "sanctified in Christ".
2. "Corinth" - a carnal church
3. "Called to be saints" - Equality to be a saint - either your one or your not ................not of who is holier or sees more truth or earns it.
4. "all that in every place" - note inclusion not EXCLUSION
4. ALL those [regardless] "THAT CALL the name Jesus Christ our Lord"
5. "both theirs and ours"

Exclusion or inclusion? Saints that are called and qualified by man made denominations are of a party spirit.

Heidi:
Digitalwise....Ray always says "look at the words" and when I read your post at first glance I read the verse and then a second time the "church of God" stood out to me.  This is referring to the believers of the truth and not the temples and synagogues.....so unto those that are believers in the truth (that God will save all) they are called saints, both CLNT and YNG translations leave out "to be"....they are just called.....few are called, many are chosen.

Your translation: 1Co 1:2  Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Concordant Literal New Testament 1 Cor 1:2 "to the ecclesia of God which is in Corinth, hallowed in Christ Jesus, called saints, together with all in every place who are invoking the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:"

Young's Literal translation: "to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place -- both theirs and ours:"
