Subject: One example of loosing salvation NT |
Bible Note: Dear New Creature: I find it interesting that you seem to be arguing that God makes a promise, and fulfills that promise, yet at the same time He simply cannot keep it because a sinful human can do the same thing! God is GOD!!! He is holy and perfect!! Man is fallen and sinful and wretched!! Man is unholy and is a liar!! When God says He is going to do something, and I mean DO, not simply hope His promise will come true, it WILL happen. If He states that He cannot lose any that are in Christ, then NONE will be lost! The will of man is not on par with the will of God, simply put. I am amazed at your lack of reverence for the Holy will of God, and for your amazingly high view of human will and ability, especially when the bible does not paint humanity in a good light (Rom. 1-3). The reason for this statement is because over the past few days, many of us in this forum have spent time and effort laying out Scripture simply to show you the majesty and power of the one true holy God. Yet, you still continue to hold onto this notion that the will of man can trump God’s eternal promise to His Son (Titus 1:1-3). I feel as though you have ignored many of the arguments made by John Reformed, Radioman2 and myself concerning this topic. Please, prayerfully consider what we have wrote, and please respond to ALL of our arguments, don’t pick and choose what you want to hear from us, and only respond to parts of what we have said. Please take what we have all said as a whole and consider them. I submit this with brotherly love and concern. In Christ, Joe |
