I'll let those skilled in the Bible quotes to argue it out but if i was a christian horse on God/Jesus's land? Wouldn't he monitor those he loves and if i broke my leg, would he not do what a good farmer does and shoot me to send me off into eternity.

For those of Not Once saved always saved: Does Jesus closely monitor like a shepherd those he loves? Does Jesus discipline those he loves? Can we pray for discipline? I would sooner die then do something that causes me to go to hell.

On a separate note a persons value at any given point in time is comprised of 100s of variables and each variable in the equation is weighted differently. Each variable would take a tremendous about of investigating to ascertain the value of that variable. I believe this notion is absolutely necessary for any forum topic unless that forum topic is what is the best flavor of ice cream.

Some Bible verses to think about:

John 10:27-30 ESV / 298 helpful votes
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”

Hebrews 6:4-6 ESV / 279 helpful votes
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

Hebrews 10:26 ESV / 250 helpful votes
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

James 5:19-20 ESV / 169 helpful votes
My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Revelation 2:1-29 ESV / 145 helpful votes
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. ...

Matthew 7:21-23 ESV / 134 helpful votes
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

2 Peter 2:20-22 ESV / 132 helpful votes
For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

1 Timothy 4:1 ESV / 107 helpful votes
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

Romans 11:19-22 ESV / 93 helpful votes
Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.

And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

James 2:14-17 ESV / 57 helpful votes
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Matthew 7:21 ESV / 57 helpful votes

Romans 2:6-8 ESV / 55 helpful votes

Romans 8:12-13 ESV / 52 helpful votes
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

1 John 3:6-9 ESV / 46 helpful votes
No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

Ephesians 1:13-14 ESV / 42 helpful votes
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba!

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.

Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

Romans 7:1-8:39 ESV / 18 helpful votes
Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. ...

This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.

Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ...

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. ...

On a separate note a persons value at any given point in time is comprised of 100s of variables and each variable in the equation is weighted differently. Each variable would take a tremendous about of investigating to ascertain the value of that variable. I believe this notion is absolutely necessary for any forum topic unless that forum topic is what is the best flavor of ice cream.

How could Jesus be the farmer if He were going to shoot us to "send us off to eternity"? I think the presence of Jesus, and the fact that we are on His Land, would suggest that we are already in Heaven, wouldn't it?

i disagree. Do you believe Jesus watches his flock of horses and sheep?

why can't Jesus have his own land on this crappy planet. Perhaps the planet is big enough for some of the land to be his.

I'll let those skilled in the Bible quotes to argue it out but if i was a christian horse on God/Jesus's land? Wouldn't he monitor those he loves and if i broke my leg, would he not do what a good farmer does and shoot me to send me off into eternity.

For those of Not Once saved always saved: Does Jesus closely monitor like a shepherd those he loves? Does Jesus discipline those he loves? Can we pray for discipline? I would sooner die then do something that causes me to go to hell.

Where does the bible refer to us(believers/born again children/ saved) as a 'horse?'

Curious~~ What does a shepherd do with a SHEEP with a broken leg?

Sometimes sheep are slaughtered for meat. Jesus gets hungry. Please see the OP. I would rather be slaughtered for meat then to suffer in hell forever. Wouldn't you?

See you in heaven brother.

I see a sheep unwilling to die and go to heaven as a form of cowardice. Salvation is easy because Jesus makes it easy. Its this world that is bad.

Pick a verse that i listed and we can discuss it. I think some NOSAS christians are predestined to reject the truth about OSAS.

Not for believers. This is what you seem to not understand.

At salvation, we have the very righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 variable. HE is the way and the truth and the life.

religion puts the '100's of variables' on folks...........not the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prove it with the Bible. So basically your saying i'm better than you? Or do you think your better than me? Remember what you just quoted was a side note. I'm not provoking you. You should have recognized that quote as a way to ease tensions on an online forum.

I think NOSAS are predestined to be christians that reject the truth of OSAS
