Subject: Is 'once saved always saved correct? |
Bible Note: Tim, I agree with you and Joe on this point, of course. My ignorance shines through in my question perhaps, but I'll ask it anyway. What is the origin of this SSLR-SSLR-SSLR vicious cycle? (first S: Saved, second S: Sinned, L: Lost, R: Repented. Therefore, saved again, but sinned again, so lost again, and had to repent again in order to be saved again... The cycle spins round and round, without closure, wihout finality.) Do you know who invented it, and why otherwise apparently rational human beings continue to believe it and go to any length to snatch a verse or two of Scripture here and there that, to their minds at least, seem to support it? Is it because they either don't understand or refuse to accept what God's grace is or what our trust really involves, and therefore can't divorce themselves from the idea that we ourselves must DO SOMETHING -- get involved to the extent of doing good works, or perpetually repenting, or SOMETHING in order to assure ourselves of salvation? --Hank |
