1 | Are you onced saved always saved? | John | GeorJoy | 102328 | ||
Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Consider The Nation of Israel. How many times did they turn from the Lord? Through His infinant mercy He has always drawn them back. But what of those individuals who perrished durring their withdrawel? "He that overcometh." Are there not many who have sliped back into the grips of sin? One would say, "well they were not saved in the first place;" I would say that one should not be the first to cast that stone and make the judgement as to who was and is saved. God can not and will not loose what is His. Yet what is His has a "free will," and can, and have Backslid to sin and will perrish in the lake of fire. Salvation is salvation! Christ WILL NOT be crucified a second time for those not included in the statement "He that overcometh...." The Lion does give ETERNAL LIFE, but He does not force it on anyone. Not even the believer. He will never let go, but one can free himself from His grip. The "once saved, always saved" thought implies that once the lamb is in the flock and following the Shepherd, he has a fence around him. A fence which he can never escape and be devoured by the wolf. Scripture does not teach this thought. Quiet the contrary, scripture tells us to be ever watchfull... George |

2 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102341 | ||
“What sin causes a person to lose his salvation?” Sin, any sin falls short of the perfect holiness of God. Every person, regardless of his maturity or relationship with the Lord, is far from perfect by God’s standard. We all have something in our lives which falls short of God’s glory, i.e., some sin though it may be unknown. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. Where, then, do we draw the line? Those who believe we can lose our salvation categorize sin as though God overlooks some sins while He judges others. It becomes a matter of degrees and the question arises, how bad must we become before we lose our salvation? Which sin does us in? People often categorize sin into various levels, but their categories are usually out of touch with God’s perspective. Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. |

3 | What Sin? | John | GeorJoy | 102376 | ||
NO Sin causes a person to loose his salvation! It is the lack of repentance and continuance therein. It is called "backsliding" and is refered to in the book you quote from. Did you happen to overlook it? Pro 14:14. You may wish to ponder this chapter, dear soul. It is so easy to read the thoughts of the simple minded where scripture is quoted. Perhaps they never learned, or they are so soon to forget that Saton himself quoted from scripture. I should think that even the simple minded should posses, at the very least, a minute amount of discernment. This is not so. They are ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Exhorting In Christ George |

4 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102384 | ||
Romans 8:31-39 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The declaration in Romans 8:34, “Christ Jesus is He who died,” is given in answer to the questions of verses 31-33, and in anticipation to the questions and declarations of verses 35-39. The goal of verse 34, however, is to show the absolute security of the believer. Two reasons are stated in relation to God the Son: |

5 | What Sin? | John | GeorJoy | 102407 | ||
Paul says not to quarrel about issues that are a matter of opinion. Considering the fact that both sides on this issue have been stated, and much opinion as to scriptural interptitation has surfaced, I should think that quarreling is the next phase. Thus I will rest my case and admit only to a draw, agreeing to dissagree. Humbly George |
