1 | fall upward? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Robert Nicholson | 33290 | ||
Brother Zach: I am not trying to be confrontational. However, you have cited the inspired word of God as your reason for believing that a person can fall away from the faith. I have suggested that this is in the light of profession. Peter teaches us "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction" These false prophets were among them and yet their goal was to bring in their own teaching which is damnable heresises which denied the Lord that bought them. I also rest upon the inspired word of God and on the promises made by the Saviour himself. One of my favorities is John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." In this verse we are promised a present possession, life and that we shall not come into judgement. How then can we suggest that the Lord Jesus was mistaken in his promises? In the parable of the wheat and the tares, they both grow together and look alike, but at the harvest only the wheat has value and the tares are burned. I feel this is a picture of Christian profession. God bless you anyhow. I am secure in him Robert |

Robert; Sorry I took so long to respond, but I have been super busy, and will at this time only give one short comment for your consideration. Security for branches depends on their remaining connected to the vine. Read John 15:1-6 |
