Subject: What are your views of once saved always |
Bible Note: NC If you understood the sermon by Spurgeon on Hebrews 6:4-6, you would realize there are no contradictions at all. Certainly there is a prolific use of metaphor and most of the text is tongue-in-cheek, but nowhere are there any contradictions revealed by what Spurgeon was saying. I suppose if you don't understand what his point is that you could assert there are contradictions but that would make your position a moot point. Here's an example of your usage of quotes, taken out of context, in order to spin according to your own theological slant: Hypothetical quote: "Some would argue, although the position has been proven to be heresy, that Christians can lose lose their salvation according to Hebrews 6:4-6. Thankfully, though, the context of these verses affirms the docrine of the assurance of salvation, especially in relation to verse 9." Now, imagine the above quote was by Spurgeon in the article you quoted. Here is what your quote would be to "defend" your position: "I think we can lose our salvation and to disagree with me shows you don't know anything about the Bible. Even Spurgeon taught you could lose your salvation. Here's proof: 'Christians can lose lose their salvation according to Hebrews 6:4-6.' You see? He said it and I agree with him on this point." That, Old Creature, is EXACTLY what you did to Spurgeons sermon in light of the entire context of it. I suggest you take off the theological glasses before you read any sermons or the Bible. For some reason, you are getting selective 'hearing' and selective 'seeing' and ignoring everything you disagree with. I think it's called "itching ears"? In Christ, JIBBS |
