Subject: The Myth of Temporary Salvation |
Bible Note: Dear Niv, A thought struck me after I had read Kalo's story and your reply. Being a curious sort myself, I read your bio in which you had concluded with Gal 6:14 But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. This is what popped into my head: The verse speaks of a believer's being crucified to the world. Elsewhere Paul says, that it is longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me. If the old man which has been crucified and that results in it's death, then, before it can cause us to sin again unto death, it had to have been resurrected. I can't seem to find this possibility anywhere in Scripture. It seems to me, since Jesus said that He would never leave us, does this mean a resurrected "old man" can throw Him out? I suppose that those who espouse "conditional salvation" believe the new creature is not too far improved over the old. Yeah! That must be it. Soli Deo Gloria, John |
