Subject: Blotted Out If We Reject Him |
Bible Note: Brother Tim, To make my position clear, I am learning to do all I can to never assume when it comes to the bible. I have made that greatest of errors over the years; time and time again. I am in the process of having to "unlearn" some things as a result; thanks be to the grace of God. I don't fit into any category that "assumes that a name CANNOT be blotted out". I am CURRENTLY at an understanding that NO name WILL be blotted out. My understanding is not an assumption in the abscense of Scripture. My understanding is based on where I currently am regarding my understanding of what is actually there in scripture (as presented in brief in this thread). So, this is a very different position from the "assumptions about this topic on both sides of the issue" that you present. By the way, as a point of curiosity, what do you believe it means to have one's name written in the Book of Life. In otherwords, what it the relevance of it? God bless, Jeff |
