1 | What in the world was Paul thinking?!? | 2 Tim 4:18 | allenp109 | 96243 | ||
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 |

Dear brother allen: Thank you for your response and for your concern. I truly appreciate the value of God's Word and the seriousness by which we should adore it, so please understand that I in no way was attempting to make a parody of God's Word, but was rather being sarcastic toward all those who teach that true saints can lose their salvation. I believe Paul knew he was saved, that is, he was declared justified by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ and that he was absolutely assured Christ would guide him safely into Heaven. As you will soon find out, many people here at Lockman forum, such as yourself, do not believe one can be so certain of salvation. I think this is one of the many verses that force them to realize they are teaching a doctrine that false simply because it is contrary to the certainty the Apostle Paul, as well as other Biblical persons did indeed have. We have two options. Trust in our own righteousness or trust in the righteousness of Christ on our behalf. Please consider that. thanks. Sincerely, JIBBS ps welcome to the forum! |
