For 2000 years, natural branches have been kept grafted out. IOW, it is insane to compare the Jews gifts and calling to be irrevocable - unbelieving natural olive branches were ripped out, and they are still out. Doesn't sound much like ETERNAL SECURITY to me - becoming enemies of the cross.
Again, I wonder if there is a Calvinist who does NOT believe in OSAS - there may be, since Calvinists shed "points" like changing clothes, 5-point, 4-point, 3-point - so any minute a Calvie May come into the thread and say "I am not OSAS"
The OP definitely makes a statement that is without basis.
It is like an OP that asks "why is a raven like a writing desk?"
Absurd - a raven is NOT like a writing desk -
Guffaw !!
" ...faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.""Not by works of righteousness that we have done.....but according to God's mercy HE saved us."
" ...faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
Now, live your life out as His Son. Have you been perfect? What does that even mean?
Did God say......Ok sillyunclewayne....now remember, you can't ever stop trying to be good, as if you do, hell awaits.
No, He never told that to you, so why do you accuse Him of that lie on a public forum?
Now lets look at your bumper sticker. "dead faith". This just means that you are not engaged in a hearty productive discipleship. You are probably backslidden..
I didn't accuse God of any such lie. I quoted scripture... which basically means that you are accusing the Bible of lying... which means that it is you who are accusing God of lying, not I.
Remember where Jesus said "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?"
aren' t you trembling, Uncle Wayne? BEHOLD says "you are probably backsliding"
