NASB | 2 Timothy 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 1:12 This is why I suffer as I do. Still, I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until that day [when I stand before Him].

Bible Note: Ocelot: David's "little romp with Bathsheba" as you call it no more proves that eternal life (salvation) can be lost than the opening chapters of Genesis "prove" that the world is flat. It illustrates quite well, however, that even a man like David, a man after God's own heart, is capable of sin. ...... Surely you didn't study Psalm 51 before you entered your error-ridden conclusions in your Post #165800. David's Psalm 51 is a magnificent psalm of penitence, a study without parallel in Scripture of a sinning believer, King David, who comes back to full communion and service to his God. It has nothing whatsoever to do with David's "losing" of his salvation. To conclude that the episode of David with Bathsheba and his subsequent doing in of Uriah the Hittite, along with tossing in a quote of Revelation 22:15 for good measure, all add up to proof that David "lost" his salvation is a quantum leap into irresponsible eisegesis and major doctrinal error. Your case fails utterly for lack of proof, for bad and irrelevant "evidence", and for faulty reasoning. Your post doesn't earn a passing grade, Ocelot, nor even an honorable mention. --Hank |
