1 | Where is "backsliding" in the NT? | Rom 8:1 | Radioman2 | 77726 | ||
Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? My question is not: Can you find the *concept* of backsliding in the NT? (The word Trinity is found nowhere in the Bible, yet the concept is Biblical. By contrast, we cannot say the word backslide is not found in the Bible. It is in the Bible! Backslide is found in the OT, but not in the New.) My question is not: CAN YOU FIND *SYNONYMS* FOR 'BACKSLIDING' IN THE NT? My question remains: Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? Can you find the English word 'backsliding' (b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g) or any of its forms (e.g., backslide, backslidden, backslider) in the NT? If you can, show me the book, show me the chapter, and show me the verse where any form of the word backsliding appears in the NT. |

Backslide: to draw back or apostatize in matters of religion ( Act 21:21; 2Th 2:3; 1Ti 4:1). This may be either partial ( Pro 14:14) or complete ( Hbr 6:4-6; 10:38,39). The apostasy may be both doctrinal and moral. God Bless |

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your interest. But my question remains: Can you find any form of the *word* backsliding in the NT? Can you find the English word 'backsliding' (b-a-c-k-s-l-i-d-i-n-g) or any of its forms (e.g., backslide, backslidden, backslider) in the NT? |

Hebrews 10:39 (NKJV) But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. 10:39 "draw back to perdition. The writer expresses confidence that believing readers ("we") will not be counted among "those" who fall away to destruction" (MacArthur Study Bible). 1 John 2:19 (NKJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 2:19 "They went out from us...none of them were of us. The first characteristic mentioned of antichrists, i.e., false teachers and deceivers (vv. 22-26), is that they depart from the faithful. They arise from within the church and depart from true fellowship and lead people out with them. "The verse also places emphasis on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Those genuinely born again endure in faith and fellowship and the truth (1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Tim. 2:12). The ultimate test of true Christianity is endurance (Mark 13:13; Heb. 3:14) The departure of people from the truth and the church is their unmasking" (MacArthur Study Bible). |
