Bible Note: Thanks for the info. FYI open library does not have a readable book on Hebrews by Brown. And I'm sure OSAS advocates have talked their way around Hebrews 6:4-6 and Hebrew 10:25, but a literal reading clearly is saying that a saved Christian can fall from salvation and if they do there is no return. |
