Subject: One example of loosing salvation NT |
Bible Note: Dear New Creature, It is beyond my ability to convince anyone of anything. All I can do is try to point to, what I believe, are scriptural evidences. It is true that I also seek to use whatever reasoning the Lord has blessed me with, to insure that what I believe is in harmony with the rest of Scripture. Frankly, I believe that the Bible clearly teaches that God always succeeds in everything which He sets to do. Is 46:10-12 "Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it. "Listen to Me, you stubborn-minded, Who are far from righteousness..." I believe that this verse (among many others that speak of God's power and eternal purpose) is foundational for correct interpretation of the rest of Scripture. He says that He declares "the end from the beginning,"; 'My purpose will be established,"And I will accomplish all My good pleasure" Therefore, for one to say that God All-Mighty fails to save (and keep saved) those whom He has given to His Son is to deny what Isa 46:10 teaches us about the nature of God Himself. Show me where I am wrong and I promise to re-examine my belief. God Bless, John Reformed |
