Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
This study has pointedly reminded me that the prism, or paradigm, through which I previously viewed these scriptures, was taught and accepted without question or any true biblical scholarship. Hopefully, the washing of water by the Word will eventually cleanse the "stream of understanding" of the residual, obscuring silt.

Ephesians 2:1-3 NLT
Once you (we) were dead because of your (our) disobedience, and your (our) many sins.
You used to live in sin just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-that commander of the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
