Subject: One example of loosing salvation NT |
Bible Note: Dear Andrew: It breaks my heart to hear of another brother in Christ going through trials and uncertainty about God, who is the very essence of Reality. My friend, I plead with you to trust GOD and GOD alone, and not the puffed up "wisdom" of men like that God-hating website. I urge you to read and meditate on Jesus' parable about the wheat and the tares and how there will be be unbelievers who hypocritically masquerade as the real deal. These same parasites that infest the Visible Church invent heresies in an attempt to subvert GOD and His elect. So, yes, there will be division in the Visible Church, but not amongst TRUE Christians. If you could elaborate on the nature of what it is that you are doubting, we will be in prayer for you and perhaps God will lead someone to give you a comforting answer. Also, there are many "intellectuals" both in and out of the Church. For someone to say they are leaving the church because they are "too intellectual" is not only the height of arrogance, but ironically, is also the epitome of stupidity. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. 1Co 1:18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. 1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought. 1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1Co 1:21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe. Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. I hope and pray that you will find peace and comfort in the LORD GOD. Sincerely, JIBBS |
