Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: I would agree with that wade???. I'm new to this forum (just joined a day or so ago) and don't know how to navigate it to view all those other posts you mentioned. I have heard though of the "once saved always saved" theory (about 20 years ago) and decided then that it wasn't Biblical (just some texts taken out of context and human supposition added to them to make them say something they really don't). There's too many other verses in the Bible that show that this theory is wrong. Get yourself a good concordance and try to argue the other side for a while LOL. Sometimes I do that myself. Approach the subject from every angle you can think of and find ALL the Bible texts that talk about this same subject. It will take you several days though LOL but in the end you will know exactly what the Bible says about it. |
