Bible Note: I, too, read this thread and I would have to say the question/trap for me was my definition of backsliding. To me backsliding was sinning. It was troubling to me because I do still have my moments of sin when I do not respond as I know a Christian should whether they feel justified or not. (You don't have to comment on that.) I would have to be one of those Paul was referring to when he speaks of knowing what he wants to do (or was it should do??), then not doing it. Defining backsliding as turning away from the truth of the saving grace of Christ then I would have to say I don't even understand how it could be possible, but if it is then I know I am with Peter on it in 2Peter 2:21 because I don't believe you can lose your salvation, which means you would face God for judgement having to explain how you who knew the truth dared to deny it! |
