Rowdy, Here are a couple of scriptures that may assist you: Your name is written in the Book of Life when you are saved/born again. Psalms 87:6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. If your name can be removed, then there is no such thing as once saved always saved. Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. If you commit sin, you are separated from God: Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. However, God does give us time to repent. Revelation 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Praise the Lord! Norm |

"From the foundation of the world" Is your name written in the Book of Life when you are saved/born again? When were our names written in the book of life? "From the foundation of the world." Before the first man was ever born, the names were written in the book of life. Rev 17:8 NASB "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come." Rev 13:8 (NASB) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. 'In these passages John informs us about the time when the book of life was filled out. This information comes as a surprise. Without it, our assumption would be that when men or women put their trust in Christ, their names were added at that moment. But that is not the case at all. The book of life has been complete since the foundation of the world' (www.intouch.org). |

Kalos, this statement seems to be saying you believe in predestination. Do you actually believe we don't have a very real and genuine opportunity to direct our lives and the ultimate place for our eternal souls? I must admit I believe very strongly against such a concept. If we were predestined from the very begining, there wouldn't be any real point to our being created. In my mind, there wouldn't be anything very glorious about God creating a bunch of beings who have already been "pigeon holed" into their ultimate destination for eternity. Why would God want to send His Son to save us from our sins when he clearly knows that the majority won't accept this gift of salvation? Yes, I know He predicts the "broad and wide gate" to Hell but I don't think He's already eliminated our option to go there if we choose to. I do hope to hear that this is an erroneous conclusion on my part and that you don't really believe in predestination. If you do believe in predestination, I do hope you are basing your belief in more scriptures than what you've offered here. Almost everything depicted in Revelation is so difficult to interpret correctly since so much of it is figurative and/or symbolic for something else. God bless. --Rowdy |
