Can ANY of these be Redeemed & Rescued???
Is anyone beyond the love of God?
But Hebrews does hint that there is a point of no return for those who once knew God, but turned away and count Him as nothing. So true apostates with reprobate minds - maybe not. Only God knows.
Heresy doesn't put one beyond the reach of God though. They can repent of that, just as any sin can be repented of (except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit).
I hve to disagree with you here. I'm assuming you are saying, those who once knew God were considered as saved. Then they lost their position in heaven. The problem with that is I believe you can't lose your salvation. Rather you'll lose your rewards, crowns, etc. given to the obedient at the Judgement seat of Christ.
1st Cor 3:15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
John 10:29 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 want everyone to be saved.
I know this is probably wrong, but i want everyone to be saved. I have a hard time believing that people will die a second death. How can God not save lost souls? Its heartbreaking. It says that every knee will bow to Christ, and proclaim him to be Lord. If that's true, how can anyone be lost?
Forgive me, im confused.
ok, thank you for the reply.BECAUSE ofthe pleasures of this Life and the daily-grind of living,people can feel hopeless...When confronted with Messages Preaching from the Bible,People are Human and,when they walk away after having heard those messages,they will come back to their daily-reality,and reason a certain way...If the message itself was uttered with castigation and antagonism,that in itself will rub people up the wrong-way and so,this winds them up to go in the opposite direction! As they go,they reason a certain way,and decide to "throw caution to the wind",cast-off restraint; BECAUSE they know that they could never Live the Christian-Life on their own,they will either a.Start deriding the message itself and reject it OR b.Acknowledge in their Heart that there IS some Truth in the Message,but feel as it were,like a condemned-building. Hopelessness inside the Heart and Anxiety leading to Depression, nevermind the struggle to find Meaning and Purpose in Life,leads People towards further Nihilism and Hedonism( painfulness in Life seeks an antidote or Panacea).
