Subject: What does "perish" mean? |
Bible Note: Brother, thank you for your reply. However, I must respectfully (and also in love) disagree with your position that eternal salvation is a false doctrine. It was not my intent to start that age-old debate:-)! Again, I appreciate the time you have taken to reply, but I was hoping for a response from my brothers who believe as I do that salvation is eternal. (I am convinced in my heart and mind that - that is the case)! In regards to your statement that Simon repented, I do not find that to be evident. Simon asked Peter to pray for him, he did not make any statement of remorse or remission of the sin. He seemed to be concerned only for his well-being, not that he had offended God. Again, thank you for your post. In Christ, cwade |
