Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Manton, Vol. 20 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Phil. iii.7. The apostle having shown that he had greater cause of confidence and glorying in the flesh than any of the pretenders among the Judaising brethren, at least was not any whit inferior to them in outward privileges; here he showeth that since he had attained to the knowledge of Christ, he accounted these things not only unprofitable, but hurtful, But what things were gain to me, those I accounted loss for Christ In the words we have a comparison of his judgment before his know ledge of Christ and after his knowledge of Christ. 2. Loss afterwards. Doct. That when the Spirit of God changeth a mans judgment, those things which before conversion seemed to be gain to him will then be accounted loss. So it was with Paul, and so it will be with all that are like Paul, yea, with all that are brought to the knowledge of Christ. 1. I shall explicate the point. 2. Confirm it. [1.] In explicating the point, I shall show what those things were. [2. ]His esteem before and after conversion. [3.] How it holdeth good in other cases in the conversion of others. First, What are the things spoken of? He enumerateth six causes of carnal boasting 1. ´Circumcised the eighth day;´ admitted into the number of Gods people by circumcision, which was done precisely according to the law, not as a proselyte, but as a born Jew rightfully circumcised. Let that be the first privilege. 2. By nation an Israelite, born of a noble tribe of the Israelites, the tribe of Benjamin, An Hebrew of the Hebrews. His stock was of Israel, Gods dear servant, and one of the best tribes, of Jacobs beloved wife; not of the children of the bondwoman, of which tribe Saul was elected king, from whence probably our apostle had his name; of that tribe which with the tribe of Judah came to the house of David and the true worship of God at Jerusalem after the revolt of the ten tribes, and in whose territory the temple was situated.
