Subject: Show in the Bible once saved always |
Bible Note: Your reference in (II Chr. 15:2) is in the Old Testament where it was also said in Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. This is also impossible now, since the advent of Christ. I think a verse that you could have used to better try and prove your point would have been 2 Tim. 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: You stated; The fact that God will never leave or forsake thee, speaks of the impossibility of God ever leaving or forsaking us, but says nothing about the possibility of us leaving or forsaking Him. The only problem is that the verse that follows proves my point and the answer to our leaving him or believing not once we have believed. 2 Tim. 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. It is like I said in my earlier post. (If the Lord doesn't want to reveal this fact to some, that is his prerogative) I sure am glad that he reveal this truth to me; the nice part is that I am out from under the gun. It sure is sad though to think that you might mess up some day and lose out; which is what you are implying, right? You might as well blot out 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. The reason being you don't believe this can be taken at face value; or you need to add (but you can lose it at the very end) I hope you know that I am being sarcastic, CDBJ |
