1 | Heb 6:4-6 | Matt 12:31 | candy lee | 151462 | ||
Only God can read the motives of the heart. True repentance is accepted by God. The Holy Spirit moves upon the hearts of men to bring them to repent. There have been a few other post on this thread that I have read. They also give good insight on this question. Can you loose your salvatiion? Yes, by rejecting the life giver and standing with those who hate him. The choice is always yours as I said before. Judas made his choice. He could have repented, but instead he was only distrought over his plan not working. What about the rich man who asked Christ what he lacked. He chose not to sell all he had and follow Christ. The parable of the vineyard again a good example. The priest knew that Jesus was talking about them. Isa5:1-7,Mk12:1-12. They knew Jesus was from God.Mk12;14 They acknowldeged that he was true and taught he way of God. They still plotted his death. There are those who rejected Jesus then that latter came to believe. Anyone who is truly sorry for their sin and ask for forgiveness and puts away their sin and walks in truth will be accepted by Christ. You must choose which side you want to be on. You can't flip flop back and forth over and over again. | ||||||

How do you know? Can you see the motives of their hearts? We can only guess. The rich man asked what did he lack.Christ said keep the commandments. He said he had done this. What do I lack? It was love. He couldn't love his neighbor as himself. Who was his neighbor? The poor,fatherless,and widow. He could not give up all he had for Christ. His love was where his heart was,with his possessions. As for Judas, he wanted a high position,fame you might say. Did God draw him? Was the free gift offered to him? God knows who are his. Does this mean that he doesn't offer that gift to those that are not? Are we all not his for we are all his. The saved and the lost are his. If this were not so then he could not destroy the wicked. All are offered the gift of life through Jesus Christ the Son of God. Yes ,God does the drawing. we choose to accept or not. If we accept it then we abide in Christ through the indwelling of the Holy spirit. This is what changes us. It is not a work we do for ourself. Works are the result of the change.Judas,seeing that he hung himself I would tend to agree that he lacked the change.Therefore he didn't choose to accept the gift of life offered to him . To say that all men are not given the chance to accept Christ is to give satan grounds to accuse God of favoritism.I think he did that with Job didn't he? | ||||||

candy lee, I merely asked you whether you could find any hard evidence that Judas or the rich man ever had any salvation to "lose." I never pretended to know, as your question to me suggests. --Hank | ||||||
