-57: Where does the bible say a believers name can be blotted out of the book of life?.
Exodus 32...
31So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.
32But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”
33The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.
34Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
Here's your problem...the verse says..."Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book." Guess what. You have sinned against God...which means your name has been blotted out. That is if you want to continue to take that verse out of context. Which I assume you don't.
In this instance the blotting out means physical death or the punishment mentionesd in verse 34 that God would do to them.
One way we can know this is by what God did to them
35And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
Psalm 69...
Psalm 69:
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
Who was being talked about here? Back up several verses to learn who.
19You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
It is the enemies...not the believers.
Rev 3...
Rev 3:
4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
This verse is a promise and you too have also turned it into a threat from Jesus. The promise is this, the Christians (overcomers) name won't be blotted out. There is no delete button.
Verse 5 talks about those that have overcome. The believers. It says they, the overcomers will not be blotted out.
John also tells us who the overcomers are....
1st John 2:13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.
Rev 22:
Rev 22:
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.
Once again this verse is not about the believers. A believer won't add to or take away from the book. There is no need to tamper with it. On the other hand there are those who profess to be Christians and who want to think that their names are in the Book of Life. Typically groups that need to change the bible are cults...passing off a false belief.
