Subject: O.T. Israel salvation? |
Bible Note: charis; Following your questions you sent me in your last response: "So...'Once lost, always lost?'" My answer is yes (see Heb. 6:4-6 NASB) "This would definitely lead back to a question I asked in another thread, "How easy is it to lose your salvation?" As to how hard or how easy it is to loose salvation, scripture to my knowledge only talks about the possibility of losing it. However I'm sure it may differ from one individual to another. "My friend, I have been reading the 'salvation maintenance' posts, and just cannot accept that way of thinking." Thats fine my friend. I'm not trying to win any converts to my particular interpretation of scripture. I merely desire to discuss the various topics with other believers such as yourself. "From what I have heard, we chose to accept Christ on our own initiative, then we must maintain a standard of excellence and perfect repentance in order keep that relationship, and now, we cannot stumble or we lose our salvation, never able to find Christ again. WOW!" Well that is not exactly what I stated in any of my posts, but I can see how it might be possible for us to misunderstand each other. After all we both read the same Bible(s) allowing for different versions. But we all get a different interpretations from the same book. Let me add three quick questions: Are unilateral relationships something that must be maintained? Are they something that requires some effort on the parties involved in that relationship to keep it going? Is a persons involvement in any relationship passive? Scripture as I'm sure you will agree is never in error, rather our understanding is often in error and in need of correcting. Thank you my friend for the response. In Christ zach† |
