Just saw your post. Let's start with common sense. What are your alternative thoughts of the process and the reason for the two books as different to mine? | ||||||

I'm not sure I have an alternative. I just wanted to know on what verses of scripture you based your thoughts on. In an earlier post you said, " Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books" That is interesting theory but what scripture is it based on? |

EdB, I make it a practice not to theorize about scripture. My CONCLUSIONS(NOT THEORY) are based on intent of scripture discerned by application of common sense. I am surprised at your questioning my CONCLUSION. As I have a moment I will pull together the applicable scriptures which I long ago reached that conclusion. In the meantime, since you question my discernment I would appreciate your conclusion(s) with respect to the two books.....with scripture references. If you are a member of the...'once saved always saved'.... group. A reply will not be helpful in furthering my understanding of the Bible. |

I'm not questioning your conclusion at this time. I'm simply asking what scripture did you use to get that opinion. In your explanation you provided exact timings or events where names are entered and removed from the two books and I can't find where this is detailed in scripture and I was interested on verses you based you conclusions |

EdB, As with some answers to be found in Scripture...multiple books of the Bible come into play. Let's start with Exodus 32-33. After your study do you agree that names can be removed from the Book of Life?(remember we did not have The Lamb under the Old Covenant (I don't know your thoughts but, I follow the rule that if the New Covenant does not modify/replace laws in the Old Covenant it is still law) |

Forget about whether our name can be blotted out or not. That is not my question. You made the statement "Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books. I'm simply trying to find out what scriptures you used to justify that statement. In these two chapters the book is never mentioned so how do you come to the conclusion it is the book of life? Also what is the age of accountability and where is it mentioned? Also what scripture says our name are blotted out of the book of life upon our reaching the age of accountability? Where does scripture make the distinction between the Book of Life and the Lamb Book of Life? |
