Subject: can you lose your salvation |
Bible Note: Stew I'm so sorry I confused you. I assumed we all understood the day to day imperfections that make us human are not what we are talking about. The debate over ‘once saved always saved’ is one where the question is asked can I kill someone and still be saved, can I commit adultery and still have salvation. The point I was trying to make is if your in such a situation and your concerned about your salvation, to me that means the Holy spirit is still at work in your life. If on the other hand your not involved in one of these sins I question why you care. What are you looking for loopholes? As far as acting childish I should have said “child like” or even rebellious. In so many debates the question comes up, “well what happens if I do this”, or “if I do that will God still forgive me?” It sounds like people are looking for limits rather than caring to be holy. Isn’t that ‘child like’ behavior we have all seen? Were a parent tells a child to not to do thus and such and the child pushes the limits to see how far he can get. That my friend is not an immature Christian that is being in rebellion. Again the whole debate over ‘once saved always saved’ or “eternal security” to me is like lawyers reading the tax laws. Few ever read it to see how much they can pay, most read it to see how little they can get away with. Our relationship with God should be based on more meaningful attributes than that. I hope that clears up any confusion I may have caused. Let me ask you a question. How does Rahab's eternal dwelling place effect where you are going to dwell? or where I am going to dwell? or the millions of people before and after her as to where they are going to dwell? EdB |
