the purpose of God and Jesus is all humans to be completely and permanently saved unto everlasting life, let do not hinder Their Work

Blessings

Really? Where does it say that is God and Jesus' purpose?

If a Christian is in bed with a prostitute committing adultery

This person is not a Christian. They are not following Christ. They will be damned. OSAS only applies to those who are actually saved. Someone who is truly saved and kept by God won't fall into such sin.

So if a church is doing the same thing figuratively .. as according to the prophets .. then would the same judgment would you mete?

read here:

John 12:49 "I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.",

Luke 9:55 "the Son of man is not come(i.e. the true Lord God never comes) to destroy men's lives, but(i.e. but He always comes solely with a view) to save them.",

Matthew 18:11-14 "For the Son of man is come(i.e. for the true Lord God comes) to save that which was lost. How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones(i.e. that anyone of the humans) should perish.",

John 14:6-9 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?",

John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.",

1 John 4:12 "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.",

1 Timothy 2:1-10 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks(i.e. blessings), be made for all men(i.e. for all humans); For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty(i.e. in all goodness and earnestness). For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men(i.e. all humans/souls) to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth(i.e. and to become good/righteous). For there is one God, and one mediator(also: and one Lord) between God and men, the man(i.e. the ensouled being) Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not; ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men(i.e. that the male believers) pray every where, lifting up holy hands(i.e. entirely showing/manifesting love/goodness), without wrath(i.e. without hostility/aggression) and doubting(i.e. and dramatization/stir/intrigues/strife). In like manner also, that women(i.e. that female believers) adorn themselves in modest apparel(i.e. in humility), with shamefacedness(i.e. with meekness) and sobriety(i.e. and sedation/sanity); not with broided hair(i.e. not with pride), or gold(i.e. or vainglory), or pearls(i.e. or wisdom), or costly array(i.e. or elevation); But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.",

Galatians 5:6-14 "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision(i.e. neither the human implementation of the old testament i.e. which is not by right faith) availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision(i.e. nor whatever human(666) spirituality/religion); but faith which worketh by love..... For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

all humans are created of God the Father at least via the biological processes of embryonic formation in the wombs of their mothers, so all people are our brethren and neighbours

Blessings

God will separate the wheat from the tares on judgment day. There will be many who thought that they were saved but were not true Christians.

and those who judge with mercy .. will be judged with mercy

and those who judge without mercy .. will be judged without mercy

mercy triumphs over judgment .

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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

You're missing the whole point of the law of liberty and the parable of the unmerciful debtor .. and the parable of the prodigal son

I came across this question while surfing the web on the topic of OSAS and it intrigues me :

"If a Christian is in bed with a prostitute committing adultery, and during the very act of intercourse a stray bullet from the gun of a drive-by shooter strikes him in the head and kills him instantly, will he go to heaven or hell?"

I was wondering what you guys thought . :confused:

I'm pretty sure the prostitute will be saved...

I believe in OSAS for those who are truly the elect:

John 10:27-29
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

All that being said I do believe in OSAS for those who are truly the elect.

No, I'm not. If they repent of their sin they can be saved. The prodigal son repented.

You really want to be judged according to the way you are judging others .. don't you?

Adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God. That is God's word. Go ahead and judge me by it I am not an adulterer.

Now you're making no sense.

You are setting yourself up as Judge . which is a worse sin than Adultery

you are taking God's place.

I am not setting myself up as Judge. I am simply quoting scripture. The scripture says that adulterers won't inherit the kingdom:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

But you're still judging . if you really want that judgment same measured back to you . keep talking. because a person who breaks even one point of the law you are citing .. is guilty of all .

you're just not qualified to judge . that's all .
