Shalom WOS Thank you for your response, I do understand about the natural and wild branches. But that one verse in particular (22 I believe) talks about being cut off if one doesn't stay in the faith. "Cut off" when used in OT almost always is one of two things - either physical, literal death sentence or being removed from Israel. So, doesn't that mean that the "osas" view is faulty? Either you are a part of the tree or you are not (and in these verses we are talking about people (gentiles) that have at one time believed and then left the faith, right?). Not arguing with you, WOS, just trying to understand - once saved, always saved or no. Even M. Henry says the same thing, as I read it - "... That which ruined them was unbelief, and by faith thou standest; therefore thou hast no faster hold than they had, thou standest on no firmer foundation than they did...that is, continue in a dependence upon and compliance with the free grace of God..."

Dear Cheri, I understand the question you have. Romans 11:23 answers that very well I thought. Like I’ve said a few times throughout the thread, “once saved always saved” is only a prelude to deeper doctrines and the phrase itself does not really represent those doctrines well. One must dig into perseverance and election which is what the phrase itself alludes to. I would recommend you do that. With that, I think we need to take searchers advice and leave this discussion and let those still wondering to search out the history for themselves. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Shalom, Sounds good. Thank you for your input. By the way, I don't have your email address. If you are interested in seeing the little boy from Guatamala whom we were all praying for last Fall, e me and I'll send you a photo (and anyone else who is interested, please feel free - he's adorable).
