I just had a discussion with a very learned friend of mine who happens to *not* be a believer in Covenant Theology.
I told him that my study of Hebrews was instrumental in convincing me of the truth of Covenant theology.
He countered that I should study the usage of the word "sanctified" in the book of Hebrews. (It is used 7 times: twice in 2:11, and once each in 9:13, 10:10, 10:14, 10:29, and 13:12.) --- He suggested that the word "sanctified" in Hebrews is synonymous with the word "justified" in the Pauline epistles. He said that a proper understanding of this word negates Covenant Theology in the book of Hebrews.
Have you heard of this? Obviously, I don't agree with him. But I haven't done this particular study in-depth.
What is the *precise* definition of "sanctified" in the book of Hebrews? What article/book/etc. would you recommend for me?
Thanks in advance!
