Actually the Greek word κρύπτω (kryptō) here, connotes; to lay up in store
here in Col 3:3, but I'm not getting why you use it to try and support OSAS, as it doesn't. The metaphorical use of made alive here only refers to the metaphysical, so I'm at a loss to understand what you are trying to say here?
Hi , and you are LOST by my post ?
#1 , Ye are DEAD , as Rom 6:4 and Crucified with Christ as in Gal 2:20 !!
#2 , Ye are dead is in the s Aorist Tense that happens at the time of salvation , and the nActive Voice , means that it it and action by God and not you !
#3 , Is Hid / KRYPTO is in the Greek Perfect Tense and means that we are Hid in Christ and the Passive Voice and means that God id doing the action of Hidding us in Christ and the Perfect Tense means we are ALWAYS secure " in Christ " if you understand the phrase " in Christ " and only explained by Paul !!
