1 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | Hank | 134399 | ||
Angel - I'm as confused about your position on eternal security as a goose in a hen house. Does a regenerated believer truly have eternal life or not? Another way of asking this, I suppose, is, Does a born-again believer cease to be born again every time he sins, and must he be born again, again and again? If he "loses his salvation" every time he sins, does he cease to be a regenerate believer? And if man's confession of sin restores him to a born-again status, then is it not man's confession instead of God's grace that saves him? In other words, is God's gift of eternal life based solely on God's grace or are man's works, including confession of sin, a determining factor also? If works are a factor, then grace becomes insufficient and salvation becomes a joint enterprise between God and man, between God's grace and man's works, doesn't it? Do you know of Scriptures that clear up this confusing issue so that they who read may understand and they who search may find? --Hank | ||||||
2 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | kalos | 134416 | ||
Didn't you know, Hank? God sits at a desk up in heaven all day with a pencil and a big eraser. Whenever a believer sins, he erases their name. When they confess, he pencils it back in. Sin, erase. Confess, write it down. Isn't this a ludicrous picture? Yet that's what some would have us believe. "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life." ____________________ (http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) Grace to you, Kalos ******************** But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 1 Cor. 14:38 (KJV) ******************** |

I love it! :-) Good post, Kalos. :-) Judah's sin, at least, was written with a really tough pen! I wonder why people would think that God can't find a better writing implement? Jer 17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars. |

Great verse - imo the horns of the altar are indeed significant - which I see as a reference to the inadequacy of observance the Law to save or justify anyone. | ||||||
