481 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75600 | ||
First let me say that my knowledge is growing as I study the word of God; 'do not be ignorant, but understand what is the will of the Lord.' That said, the only thing I can test the spirits with is against the Word of God. The Word of God, the Canon Scripture, is the rule of faith, 'able to make thee wise unto salvation' and 'equip a man for every good work.' You write: "That being the case, do you suppose it’s possible that there are some people out there that have had something revealed to them, from God, that hasn’t been revealed to you?" In a word, NO. Apparently you do, so let's see if you believe it. It just so happens that God spoke to me last night and told me that doctrines of 'total depravity' and 'perseverance of the saints' are wrong. Now how can you argue with that? Hopefully you will test anyone who makes such a claim against the Word of God! God has taken into account that some people will fall away. "There is no sin, that in a time of weakness". There are two kinds of sin: 'sin unto death' and 'sin that is not unto death.' Some people sin while trying to hit the target. Others sin with a clenched fist to God. The second is not fogiveable without repentance. "How good is good enough?" We are never good enough to deserve eternal life. Salvation is a gift for people who put their faith in Him. The person who is saved and then turns back to the world, has fallen away. See Hebrews 6:4-6 again. It is very clear. Good day. |

"Do not be ignorant, but understand what is the will of the Lord." - Ephesians 5:17 "There is no sin, that in a time of weakness" ...that is not forgiven. -- this is the finished thought. My point is that Christians, who are walking in the light, who trust in the promises of God and show great faith, will sin and be forgiven instantly. 1 John 1:6ff shows that the blood of Christ continually cleanses the sins away of the person WALKING in the light. The cleansing is contingent upon walking and staying in the light. Among Christians, there is a sin that IS NOT unto death and there is a sin that IS unto death. The person who sins without remorse, without repentance in his heart, is committing sin unto death. The brother who sins, who hates the sin he commits, is forgiven and we should pray for such a one (1 John 5:16) |

483 | disciplerami, how do we keep salvation? | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75751 | ||
David F, what you have related here is how I understand losing one's salvation. A Christian sins, probably daily, but he doesn't fall into and out of grace daily. The blood of Christ covers the sin immediately. That immediate blessing doesn't release the Brother from the necessity of reflection, remorse and repentance, but he does have immediate forgiveness. In order for him to lose his salvation, he has to shake a fist at God, he has to make the decision that he doesn't care anymore. He in essence, becomes party to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Then God removes from him the saving grace and his sins are recorded against him. You are correct. It isn't easy to fall, but it is definitely possible. |
||||||
484 | David F, please answer the questions | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75752 | ||
Yes, salvation is a gift that is given with conditions. Confess Me before men and I'll confess you before the Father. Deny Me and... How does one lose salvation? Same as Israel, turn to the world, away from God, be faithless, be disobedient (Hebrews 3:18,19) You do not lose your salvation easily. See my note to David F. If someone loses their salvation, they can repent and return. Good day. |

488 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75780 | ||
Hi, you have to study a little more in-depth on that passage, but the exact meaning shows the impossibility of repenting WHILE he crucify to himself the Son of God. The word ANASTAUROUNTAS, for crucify, is a present participle. So WHILE they crucify Him, it is impossible. If they quit crucifying Him, then it is no longer impossible to renew them again to repentance. Is it likely that they will repent? I would say it is pretty unlikely. Thanks for the note, have a good day. |

489 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75804 | ||
Amen. TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED. No one desires or delights in such truths, but it is better to know this possibility than to live in a careless way and thinking that salvation is assured. I might also say, by way of adding to your thoughts, that it is also very hard to fall away. It takes a wholesale turning away from God. Have a good day. |

Joe, I have to admit that I learn something new every once in a while, too. Maybe you missed the entire post, but I pointed out that it is the force of the present particle. WHILE, NOT SINCE, is the idea. The Concordant Literal Version depicts this idea: Heb 6:6 and falling aside, to be renewing them again intoto repentance while crucifying for themselves the Son of *God again and holding Him up to infamy." I have seen good and righteous people turn back to the world. For all intents and purposes, they crucify Jesus again. The prodigal son is an example of someone who comes to his senses, quits his sinning, and in repentance returns to the father. |

Searcher, You aren't trying to understand. "If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not (leading) to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not (leading) to death. There is (a) sin (leading) to death..." The implication is that a christian brother can commit sin, either to death or not. If he is commiting the sin unto death, the one seeing it is not to pray for him (because God won't forgive): there is no point in praying for the unrepentant. Reconcile Romans 6:23 and 1 John 5:16. Sin brings death, except the sin that is committed while one walks in the light: this sin is forgiven immediately. But the Christian must, once aware of his sin, have a repentant heart that confesses unto God--as David did in Psalm 51. By repentance and confession, you demonstrate to God that you don't take his gift lightly. Attitude counts for a lot. That's the primary difference between sin that is unto death and sin NOT unto death. |

497 | disciplerami, where do you see "while"? | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75940 | ||
Hey Search, You don't get it because your aren't trying. I know what a participle is and the word the word for crucify depicts the continuing action of crucifying Christ. WHILE a falling away (2nd aorist active participle) brother is recrucifying Christ, it is impossible to renew him to repentance. It's not hard to understand, Search. I cannot read other posts WHILE I am re-answering your nonsense post. :) Good day. |

498 | Ten Commandments or Nine in force? | Heb 8:13 | disciplerami | 77678 | ||
Here are passages that refer to the law of Christ. "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed," James 1:25. AND "So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty, verse" James 2:12 (also see Romans 8:1, law of the Spirit) AND "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city, Revelation 22:14." These are names for the New Covenant or Testament through Christ blood. You err in not making a distinction between the Old Law and the New Law. The Old was done away with and the New established (Heb. 8:6,7,13; 9:15-17). The Old Law was hostile to us because it pointed out sin but couldn't justify (Heb 10:4). The cross of Christ took it out of the way. "Behold he takes away the first to establish the second" (Heb 10:9). The Second was establish at the death of the Testator, Jesus (Heb 9:15-17). He did this at the cross, through the offering of His body (Col 2:14; Eph 2:15). Other passages about the being obedient to the commandments of God have to be considered in context. If the quote comes before the Cross, then it most likely relates to keeping the Mosaic Law. But if it is stated after the Cross, then it relates to obedience to Christ, not Moses. The passages you refer to also relate to the "law of the Spirit" that Paul mentions in Romans 8:1ff. These all refer to the New Covenant. In contrast, the Old Law of Moses was done away with because it was inferior. Yes, it was "holy, righteous and good", but it served it's purpose. But what it could not do was justify. As Paul says, it could not make holy, it could not "weak as it was through the flesh." The Law required perfection. The James 2:10 passage and Galatians 5:3 show why we don't want to turn back to the Old Law. I know some try to justify following part of the Law and discarding the other; but there is no justification for doing only part of the Law. We are freed from the Law written on tablets of stones: "2 Cor 3:7 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. 10 For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it." What Law is he talking about? Paul is even more specific in the Roman letter. "Rom 7:5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter. 7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." To answer the last question people usually have when the 10 Commandments are shown to be done away with, "No, that doesn't mean you can murder, commit adultery, or worship idols." The New Testament in Christ covers such things. The references to the "law of the Spirit", "law of liberty", and "the perfect law" DO NOT refer to the Mosaic Law: they are the Law of Christ established at the Cross. The fundamental principle for salvation still remains: by grace through faith. But the Old Law was not perfect (Heb.8:7), so God established the New. Good day. Disciplerami |

How many are enumerated in in Exodus 20? How many are hung in the judges chamber in Alabama? I don't think it is 613, it is 10. Now, I'll ask this question for others, because you obviously don't care to deal with it: How many of the Ten Commandments are in force, 9 or 10? |
