2 | What is a fatal sin? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186793 | ||
There is no "one" sin nor is there anything that can not be forgiven. Remember, King David committed adultry and murder (of Uriah). The book of James states "there is sin leading to death." Notice it does not say "a sin." In the Greek it's "sin" not "a sin." What James is indicating is "a contineous life style of sin." And remember a born again Christian can "never" lose their salvation. | ||||||

Greetings AF! Not sure how you would define a reprobate but looking at the way Webster's defines it and the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary defines it... REPROBATE KJV term used in two senses: that which fails to meet a test and is thus rejected as unworthy or unacceptable, as impure silver (Jer. 6:30) or persons (2 Cor. 13:5-7; Titus 1:16); and that which is depraved or without morals (Rom. 1:28; 2 Tim. 3:8). NASB and RSV used “reprobate” to mean “one rejected by God” (Ps. 15:4; cp. HCSB, REB, TEV). —Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary REPROBATE n. A morally unprincipled person. One who is predestined to damnation. adj. Morally unprincipled; shameless. Rejected by God and without hope of salvation. tr.v. rep·ro·bat·ed, rep·ro·bat·ing, rep·ro·bates To disapprove of; condemn. To abandon to eternal damnation. Used of God. --dictionary.com It would appear the reprobates you have in mind in the bible had never received salvation. Or do you have a different understanding of reprobate? Hope this helps! By Faith, Steve |

Good morning Steve, The fundamental question,"is salvation in our hands or God's? Can a truly born-again person lose their salvation? Is it "eternal" or "conditional?" I rest my case on Ephesians 1:13: "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of you salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promice." (NASB) In the Greek "sealed in Him" is an action from eternity past to eternity future. Therefore, based on the original Greek text, it is impossible for a believer "who is sealed by the Holy Spirit," to become "unsealed" as it is in God's hand and not ours. |

Greetings Psalm 25! Yes, I agree on the fundamental question and answer! I just wanted to establish what a reprobate was before the discussion lead to pointing to one that had never been saved in the first place and claiming they had :-) That seemed to be the direction it was headed based on AF's post to you. By the way, glad to see you sticking around! I hope you will stay long enough to see that although there will be differences many are here seeking, teaching, sharing, etc... and it's actually a great place to gather with our brothers and sisters in Christ and discuss the word of God. So, once again, welcome and enjoy! I look forward to your participation. By Faith, Steve |
