Greetings Jeff! What is the point of God promising something that can't happen anyway? ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: What's the point of God promising us, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Heb 13:5b)? Might it not be to encourage us? Grace to you, Kalos |

Greetings Kalos! Heb. 13:5b is certainly encouraging, but there is a key difference between it and Rev. 3:5. Rev. 3:5 is set up as a conditional promise for those who overcome, while Heb. 13:5b is a general statement. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi brother Tim, I don't want it to appear that you are being "teamed up on", but your theology is simply wrong, lacking to say the least brother. What makes you believe that Heb. 13:5b is a "general statement"? Your comments seems to contradict your own argument in this thread that Christ will not make a promise he will not keep. Sir, this is not a general statement. It is a promise made by the Lord. One that He is able to and absolutely will keep. I have nothing else to put my hope in, and the Scriptures offer me nothing else in which to have hope. Christ will never leave me nor forsake me. This is the reason, the only reason, that I will "overcome". Christ's Love, Jeff |

Greetings Jeff! No problem my friend! I'm a big boy! ;-) Concerning Heb. 13:5b, where is the condition? This is what I meant by saying it was a general statement. It doesn't say, 'If you overcome, I will never leave you". :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Brother Tim, Thanks for clarifying for me. I believe this hits the nail on the head (so to speak). Your right that it is not a conditional statement. I believe this is essential in really getting to the point of truth here. "I will never leave you nor forsake you". No conditions, no works, no if's you do or don't. Simply, I will never leave you nor forsake you. As the writer points out immediately before; it is for this reason that we are to continue to strive to do good and live holy lives. But doing so is not the condition. Isn't it an awesome and totally capable God that we were saved by? God bless, Jeff |
