Subject: Can salvation be lost? |
Bible Note: Kalos: Does the Bible contradict itself? Though every man be found a liar, may God be found true! How does one reconcile this and other verses speaking of the need of endurance or to resist Satan's influence in order to be saved? I'll just cite two of dozens: "Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!" (James 5:9)"Deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." (1Cor 5:5) I always tell people: It's not the Bible the contradicts, but interpretation. Why do Paul, John, James, Jude and Peter write so much about the need to fight the fine fight and hold a good conscience if no risk of losing salvation? "AMPLIFIED John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life." DOESN'T THIS CLINGING, RELYING, TRUSTING, BELIEVING HAVE TO CONTINUE FOR THE JESUS STATEMENT TO REMAIN TRUE? People need to know the truth. |
