Do you see that you argue for not knowing while using a example you believe illustrates that you do, in fact, know?  

 

If we do not know,  the correct answer to your final question would be "yes,  I could make that argument."  

 

But, back to the 10:14 question  --   I do not think it fair to illustrate  a question about an action with a comment about an emotion.   Plug in a couple of definitions and see what you get.   I am being happy  ( I am experiencing joy and pleasure) compared to "I am being made holy."  

 

Do you believe that "sanctification" implies becoming something that was not previously the case, in our case?   "Made or make" is an integral aspect of "set apart, holy."  Separate one from the other and you do not have the definition of "sanctification."  In the biblical message,  we are set apart in the sense that we made holy.   As I see it,  the present tense AND the passive voice demand the reading  "being made holy.'  I am not trying to ague this into the ground  --  but do you see my point?

If Bill's happiness were transitory, then you would be right, but it is possible that his happiness is found in eternal life, and if that were so, then it would not be transitory.  The point is that we do not know from the statement whether his happiness is complete or not.

 

Suppose I said, "Jesus is happy."  Would you make the same argument, that His happiness is incomplete?

 

Peace be with you.

myth ("Bill is happy," is presumed, and, at best, (is) now; therefore, the happiness is transitory which also squares with human experience; therefore, the present tense 'happiness' is incomplete)
