1 | Still...can WE know this? | Hebrews | charis | 1256 | ||
Dear friend, I stand corrected. You and Harper's both seem to be talking about the theory or theology of the knowledge of God, and I talked about the practical application of this knowledge or lack of it. I do understand that this is a forum for theologians and scholars, but I was writing about and to those who are laymen. Though I am a minister in a local church, I consider myself a layman. Again, I fall into the trap of applying my bent to another's. As an excuse, I can only say that my motive was to speak to all those reading these discussions, not just to you. Please forgive my lack of clarity. I did re-read the submissions, starting with "Could a believer lose their salvation?" then to "Once lost, always lost." Isn't "...is unregenerate..." kind of a statement that 'appraises salvation?' I was under the impression that you were using Hebrews 6:4-6 to express your views concerning "Once lost, always lost." If I am totally 'off the mark' in this, please forgive me. Your protagonist, not antagonist friend, in Jesus. | ||||||

Dear Friend, I do not consider you an antagonist or adversary of any kind. And thank you for reminding me of that of which I continually need reminding: that in your ministry your concern is not with pure abstract theology, but with explaining and applying it in the daily life of others. You made a point in your letter that I just wasnt considering -- the practical application of all that you read and study. Sometimes I think if we were discussing these matters face to face, without the limitations of time and distance, we would more readily comprehend each other's points. And, speaking for myself, there would be less misunderstanding of the points you make. I thoroughly enjoy your input and go looking for it every day. Thanks for your friendship and your regular submissions to this site. |

My friend, my wife has been telling me for years that I sometimes (often :-) don't get my point across very well. Perhaps this forum can help me with this 'character flaw?' It indeed is a great way for me to use my mother tongue for discussion at this level. Likewise, I treasure our friendship and discussion, and looking up your submissions is always interesting. In Christ. | ||||||
