AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jude 1:5 ¶ Now I want to remind you, although you are fully informed once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe [who refused to trust and obey and rely on Him]. [Num 14:27-37] |
Bible Question: Why did Jude make this statement? Were those in the Christian congregation in any danger of losing their salvation? |
Bible Answer: The Eternal Insecurity Version (EIV) IF one could fall from grace and lose one's salvation, then the following Scriptures would have to read as they do here in order to line up with the "truth". (I added and deleted words to the following verses to demonstrate how they would have to be changed IF it were true that one could lose his salvation. I mean no irreverence or disrespect for the Bible.) John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath NOT everlasting life, and MAY OR MAY NOT come into condemnation; but is passed from LIFE UNTO DEATH. John 10:27-29 (KJV) My sheep CANNOT hear my voice, and I know them NOT, and they MAY OR MAY NOT follow me: [28] And THEY MUST EARN eternal life; and they MAY OR MAY NOT perish, and ANY man is able to pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is NOT greater than MAN; and ANY man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Philip. 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you MAY OR MAY NOT perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV) To an inheritance CORRUPTIBLE, and DEFILED, and that FADETH AWAY, NOT reserved in heaven for you, [5] Who are NOT kept by the power of God. |
