1 | can you lose your salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 17919 | ||
Stew Blessing my brother? We meet again, alas, crossing the street and going in opposite directions. Immaturity most certainly is the reason for the “debate”. Since there is no way to resolve the debate (Calvinism/Arminianism has been raging for hundreds of years) it is immature to keep it up. But the point I was trying to make was if your living your life as best you can to please Jesus (John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.) you really don’t have to worry about what you can get away with. I used as an example if a person is saved the “debate” asks the question can a person murder someone and keep their salvation? I say the question is stupid if you living in Christ you simply won’t murder someone. Stew I used the example of adultery and murder for a person who is saved and then commits them, the question is do they remain saved as these acts are already under the blood or do they need to repent and place these acts under the blood. Again I really don’t care what the answer is because I don’t intend to do either. As for your question about Rahab I was trying to make the point, that the status of her salvation effects nothing other than where she will spend eternity. It has no effect on me, no effect on you, no effect on the millions that came before her and the millions after her. You correctly pointed out Paul and David, who in both cases were in sin they then repented of their sin and God forgave them. Which he has promised to do for you and I. The question of eternal security goes a step further it asks, using Paul for an example, if after being saved had he killed another would he still be saved or would he have to repent again. I say this is a stupid question, after Paul’s salvation he wouldn’t kill again. This “debate” is not about initial salvation it is about living after salvation. It comes down to a debate on what I can and can not do and still remain saved. All I’m saying is that is not how a Christian should approach salvation, A Christian should shoot for the best and let grace cover everything else. |
