Part I..New creature, just quoting scripture does not get you anywhere,please interpret it in light of the rest of scripture. You keep repeating the same verses and charge us with man's opinion, but yet you quote man's opinion, such as Clarke's comm.There is no confusion with these passages. So lets again revisit the passages you quote. First, please turn to John 17:1-4, the beginning of Jesus High Priestly prayer. Verses 2-3John 17:2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. John 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. You will see that all that the Father has given to the son, He gives Eternal Life(Salvation from God's wrath, which is our due punishment for our sin,Romans 6:23)Does not Jesus give Eternal Life to those whom the Father has given Him? Please see this in light of John 6:37. All that the Father gives WILL come to Jesus, and He will certainly not cast them out. Notice that in John 6:40, that who ever has the Son will be raised up by Him. Verse 51 says he who is in Christ, he will live forever(Eternal life, salvation). Again, all this in light of John 10:27,28, He gives them Eternal Life and they will NEVER(oo-may(G)(not ever, in no wise, never)perish(eternal damanation, separation from God) And twice, vs 28,29, Jesus says no one and yes that includes yourself, can snatch(remove, disqualify, forfeit) from the Grace of God's Hand. Again, all this in light of Hebrews 12:1,2 and Phil 1:6, which make it clear Who the author and finisher of our faith is. That faith, is a saving faith,that leads to Eternal life. Please view this again, in light of Romans 8 and the character of God(His promises, faithfulness etc) Part II to follow |

I reviewed all Scripture you posted. Actually if I reviewed those verses once I reviewed them a thousand times previously. Only problem is, I believe you need to reconcile other Scripture as well before you say that "once saved, always saved" is an absolute Bibical teaching. Verses such as; For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. (Heb. 6:4-6 NASB) Ezek. 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. How do you reconcile these verses with the rest of the verses you posted. In my opinion "once saved, always saved" as taught by many today is a theological invention of man. In His service New Creature |
