once again you made that up without quoting the passage which is a dishonest dialogue on your part.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(2 Peter 2:21)
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
(Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV)
.
I’m not them.I am glad you believe that. So did Jimmy Swaggart and the pedophile priests mentioned in this thread, before they fell.
Yeah, but check the context.You have way more verses friend. That means the non-OSAS folks win.
Please,no more, I don't engage with those who twist the word of God just so they can win an argument, and do so without giving is a second thought.
Proof that OSAS is false.Falling Away means to stop believing and Peter wasn`t talking about simple backsliding. Both of your examples are apostasy. Bad answer because Jesus likes to heal backsliding.
Jeremiah 3:22
Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
Revelation 22:15
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Galatians 5
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 6
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
hope this helps !!!
but I doubt it since you deny the scriptures above.
Have you sinned since your conversion ?Problem is that most Eternal Security Proponents I have met claim that they cannot stop commiting mortal sins this side of Heaven. Yet, they believe they are still saved even when they sin. This means that one can sin and still be saved. But everything we know about God and the Bible tells us that God condemns sin and He does not condone men in doing evil things. God saving a person with the thinking that they can sin and still be saved goes against what the Bible teaches. This is at the heart of why Eternal Security is not true.
Was Peter lost when he was practicing hypocrisy ?Do you believe King David was saved WHILE he ws committing his sins of adultery and murder?
Yes, or no?
was Moses lost when he murdered the Egyptian ?Do you believe King David was saved WHILE he ws committing his sins of adultery and murder?
Yes, or no?
Have you sinned since your conversion ?
You said:Are you now sinless ?
Was Peter lost when he was practicing hypocrisy ?
see Galatians 2.
Does God weigh our sin on a scale ?
Is lust the same as fornication and adultery ?
So you are a catholic with your mortal sin doctrine.Recently like today? Not that I am aware of. No.
I believe mortal sin condemns a person. This is any sin mentioned in primarily in the New Testament that is attached with warnings of hellfire or condemnation. Believers need to confess and forsake these kinds of sins in order to have forgiveness and or salvation. I believe there are sins that do not lead unto spiritual death. One example is when Paul refused to obey the Holy Spirit's warnings in going to Jerusalem. Paul was not condemned by disobeying the Spirit in this instance because he went to Jerusalem out of love. Love for wanting to see his fellow Jews saved.
Anyways, by what you said so far: Do you believe that you can sin and still be saved all because you have a belief alone on Jesus? If so, then why quote verses on how the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God if you are for believers sinning while under God's grace?
He was NEVER lost now your turn with Peter and Moses.Answer my questions first. Was King David saved WHILE he committed his sins of adultery and murder? Yes, or no?
So you are a catholic with your mortal sin doctrine.
what denomination are you affiliated with ?I am not Catholic and neither am I Orthodox. I find these beliefs highly unbiblical. I am Sola Scriptura. But I use the term “mortal sin” because it helps people understand what I am talking about.
He was NEVER lost now your turn with Peter and Moses.
He was NEVER lost now your turn with Peter and Moses.
