1 | Your thoughts? | Matt 12:32 | New Creature | 128374 | ||
Hello tgc; In a comment to fool, you said: "Can a christan backslide yes and will God deal with that yes but He will deal with that person as a parent deals with a child and yes that can sometimes be quite severe up to and including physical death. But God will not cast that child away from Him" In the final sentence of that paragraph, it is said; "God will not cast that child away from Him." I agree with that, however let me ask; Since we agree that God won't cast His child away. Is it possible that the child can cast God away? Let me reword that in the following manner. Is it possible for the child to disown God? Blessings to you New Creature |

2 | Your thoughts? | Matt 12:32 | tgc | 128389 | ||
New Creature, No it is not possible for that child to disown God. Let me qoute just two passages of scriptures that lead me to belive this way. First John 10:28-29 NKJV 28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 "My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of My Father's hand. Breaking these two verses down lets see where it leads us. Who gives eternal life? Jesus what is the promise of eternal life to the belivers? they shall never perish nor can ANYONE snatch them out of My hand. Who does the hand belong to? Jesus Who has given these belivers to Jesus? God the Father. Who is greater than the Father? No one Who can take belivers out of God the Fathers hand? No one Our salvation begins and ends with Jesus we can do nothing to save ourselves and once we are saved by grace we can do nothing to keep our salvation it all Jesus. The next passage I want to look at is Romans 8:26-39 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit [is,] because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies. 34 Who [is] he who condemns? [It is] Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession 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 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 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. This passage really speaks for itself and ther is no need to go in to a breakdown of it. Really this passage just strengthens or adds to the previous taking the same thought worded in differnet way but saying the same thing. Hope this helps. In The Love Of Christ,tgc |
