1 | What in the world was Paul thinking?!? | 2 Tim 4:18 | JibbyJee | 88953 | ||
What was Paul thinking?!?!? I mean, just LOOK at what he had the audacity to say: 2 Timothy 4:17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth. 2 Timothy 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. This proves 2 things about Paul: 1. He was arrogant. 2. He was ignorant. Both are easily proved by the fact that the doctrine of eternal security is a myth. Once-saved-always-saved is a doctrine made up by Luther and Calvin. Paul may have SAID he knew he was going to heaven, but he was confused. It's possible that he could have become an apostate. He just couldn't have known. Therefore, none of us can know we are always going to be saved. Salvation depends upon our works. BEFORE YOU LAY INTO ME: THIS IS A PARODY!!! In CHRIST (and eternally secure), JibbyJee |

Hi, I am brand new to this post, infact to posting in general. Maybe I am out of line, but making a parody of God's Word? I don't understand your concept or your belief, is this not the inerrant word of God? Just in case I am wrong, here is the definition of parody: A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. The genre of literature comprising such works. Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty. And here are just a few scriptures for the eternally secure: 2Peter 2:15-22;Hebrews 6:4-6(fallaway?); Hebrews 3:6-14(departing, hold fast until the end?). I have many more about holding the faith until the end.Salvation is not a parody, it is serious. allenp109@myway.com |

But he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13 AMPLIFIED "The reference is not to the salvation of the soul of the believer who endures persecution, but to his deliverance by the Lord's return" (NSRB note at Matthew 24:13). In Matthew 24:4-31 the entire passage is Jesus' answer to the disciples' questions: "When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" (v.2). In subsequent verses Jesus is teaching about Daniel's seventieth week of years: the end time; the middle of Daniel's seventieth week: the abomination of desolation; the great tribulation (latter half of week); and the King's return to earth at the close of the tribulation. So in the context this interpretation of verse 13 is the more likely interpretation -- i.e., that the reference is to the believer's deliverance by the Lord's return. In addition, we are not saved by enduring to the end. We are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did on the cross -- not by anything that we do. No one is saved by holding on or holding out. When we are saved, it is because God Himself holds onto us. --Radioman2 |
