Subject: "Once Saved Always Saved" |
Bible Note: Oh, I'm going to have to agree with Brian. The elder brother should have been happy for his younger brothers return. Pride and jealousy are not fit for God's kingdom. No one has denied salvation is through Jesus and Jesus alone. I think Brian is saying the Lord would not create innocent peoples only to cast them into hell. They are his creation. Are they to be condemned because no one has been able to reach them with God's word? Some very rocky ground we have climbed up on. There is an old "fable" about Jesus walking through heaven and seeing a lot of people who didn't really belong there. So he went to St. Peter at the gates of heaven and asked him what that was about. Peter tells him, TRUTH! I turn them away from the gates of heaven. Then they go round back and your mother lets them in. It's a light hearted tale and maybe inappropriate for this debate, but. That's me. The touchy-feely happy person. Lisa |
