Affected Teaching
Here is an interesting verse stating that God was pleased when He had separated Paul or selected Him from his mother’s womb. God knows who His elect are even before they are born. God had chosen all His elect before the foundations of the world. (Eph 1:4 KJV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Even though those of us who are saved, became saved at different times in our lives, yet, all the Elect of God were chosen before the foundation of the world. All of the Elect were set apart in our mother’s womb even if we do not get saved until later in life. This salvation is our calling by grace and grace alone. It is interesting that Paul injects that he was saved from his mother’s womb and I believe the reason is that the Judaizers had emphasized works to coincide with grace for salvation. If a person is in the womb, then what works can they do to facilitate their salvation? The answer is obvious, they can do none and this is why this verse is included because it shows that grace is the only vehicle by which a person can be saved, even in the womb where no works can be done. How could the Judaizers debate works with a person who was saved from the womb without works? This is the wisdom of the Scriptures. Some of the modern versions exchange “God” for “he” which leaves it open as to who “he” is. It is the Greek word "theos" which means "God" not "the one or him."  God is the one who sets the believer apart for salvation. John 6:37 (KJV) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Even the Jehovah’s Witness bible go it right on this one. This is another attack on the doctrine of God concerning salvation.
