With OSAS, no one can know. See my last post above. .
it is only assumed bob never was saved
In that passage or example.
I can assume we all can walk water with no faith aswell then?'
there are Many many clear not "multiple meaning "passages but clear passages clearly stated
brethren that fall back into perdition , falling away, to err /turn from to go back.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. ([bless and do not curse]Hebrews‬ [bless and do not curse]10‬:[bless and do not curse]39‬ KJV)
Note : not of them THAT draw back!
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. ([bless and do not curse]Hebrews‬ [bless and do not curse]10‬:[bless and do not curse]1, 38‬ KJV)
We can clearly see iniquity as being sin / but not just a sin , sins that aren't repented of .
Peter committed iniquity denying CHRIST ,
David also with the murdering of bashibas husband.
But they repented/ didn't continue in the willful sin and were full of guilt and both asked for forgiveness!!
Jesus said I never new you you workers of iniquity clearly.
Just as much as we can't deny the passages you put up They are valid passages but can mean two or more things is the confusing part.
You also can't deny a clear not confusing only 1 meaning statement from jesus!
If you live in sin this is considers wicked iniquity and you are not COVARD by willful sinning
Also clearly states in passage
Hebrew 10:26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, ([bless and do not curse]Hebrews‬ [bless and do not curse]10‬:[bless and do not curse]26‬ KJV)
Clear as a bell!
A child could understand but apparently not ARE lying flesh that keeps us in sin.
Free from sin is Not Free to sin
Another Clear statement
No multiple meanings
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. ([bless and do not curse]1 John‬ [bless and do not curse]3‬:[bless and do not curse]6‬ KJV)
With OSAS
Is either you think your saved in your sin meaning you can sin and your sins are COVARD.
Which is also not at all in the bible it say all past sins! Not future not current!
But the There is another believe stemming from Calvinism
That is predestined to be saved and that God makes us not want to sin.
Again a flawed idea only because free will is not controlled if it were and God could pre select why not all!
Goes against Gods love for the whole world that he gave ...
