Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: I disagree, there are three parables in a row - lost sheep, lost coin, lost son. Why would the first two talk about one thing and then the third completely switch when it 100 percent fits and expands on the first two? As far as giving up the inheritance, loosing it would imply that he did something wrong and it was taken from him. This did not happen. Instead, he gave it up. Is there precident for this? Genesis 25:31-34. Esau gave his inheritance away to get food, just as the prodigal gave his away for earthly wealth. And what happened to Jacob and Esau? God loved Jacob and hated Esau (Mal 1:2-3). In the same sense, when the prodigal forfited his inheritance, he became dead to God until he came back to Him. Bless...ArtS |
