Bible Note: God Bless Everyone, this is coming from bygraceyearesaved, I'm addressing the prodigal son issue: This is not a parable about forgivenes; it is about acceptance,and the wayward son's attitude about a relationship to his father. When he ran out of resources and determined to return his father,he rehearsed the speech he intended to use to gain acceptance when he returned home(Luke15:18-19). Here is a young rebel who thought he was unworthy of his father's acceptance because of his sinful behavior. He determined to go home and ask his father's forgiveness. His sense of unworthines caused him to believe that he could only hope to be a servant.Yet the story clearly demonstrates that the father had already forgiven him and was ready to fully accept him when he returned home.In fact, when his father saw him from a distance, he ran toward him and fell on his neck,kissing him.The son then tried to give his prepared speech(verses22-23). We hear much about the importance of asking for God's forgiveness when we sin. Yet the Bible clearly teaches that total forgiveness was given to us when we received Christ.God has forgiven us of our SIN NATURE.That means that every indidual sin we would commit was forgiven. So explain to me How the son lost his inheritance?Because you throw in a contradiction when you said"the prodigal son didn't "lose" his inheritance he "gave it up". So technically if you give something up you have lost it. |
