Subject: Blotted Out If We Reject Him |
Bible Note: Easy Searcher, No one. Note, the wording is "I will not earase or blot out". So the answer is, no one is blotted out as far as this verse is concerned anyway. Furthermore, I don't find anything anywhere else in the bible that suggests a name is blotted out. I would relate this verse with the words of Jesus' in John 17:11-12. I know the debate on "losing salvation" has been covered many times on the forum, I doubt I could add to it. What I believe on the subject though was best stated by Paul. Rom 8:33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Rom 8:34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Rom 8:36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." Rom 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Rom 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Praise God for that, Jeff |
