Bible Note: Dear S. W., In your argument for the "loosability" of salvation you cite the admonition of Christ, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14) This passage does not contribute or detract from your thesis. You wrote, "Allowing sin in your life obviously is'nt walking on the narrow road." Note that the analogies are to gates, not roads. Consequently, your likening it to a way of life is an abuse of the metaphor that Christ is making. In Him, Doc |
