Part 3 of 3.....I know rachelle felt like I was among the ones trying to cram osas down her throat one night but brother I experienced it for several days even a few weeks...and it had me so torn up that I was mean and grouchy...that is now how I like to be trust me....I only got peace again when I talked to my pastor and she prayed with me.....ptl I had other reason's to call her also....but ptl she had time to pray for me...love you brother
Part 2 of 3........Someone told me there were no cases in the bible of going from life to death and that's wrong. There are 2, the prodigal son, went out from the father to sin, but was forgiven when he returned to the father. And John 6:66 states that MANY of Jesus' desciples turned from Him and follow Him no more after His teaching on You must eat my flesh....John 6. I do not believe in predestination but free will also, however, I think God knows, as he is all knowledgable, who will and who will not accept Him, and He grants us who accept Jesus and God permission to come to into the ELECT. Tell me please your thinking on this matter, I'm instrested in hearing.
Brother, I think you believe like I do that you can give up your salavation but God won't take it away. Don't try to change....it's not worth the inner turmoil that trying to change causes.....I know I tried my best to believe sam and his teaching of osas..but I only could in my head and it never got to my heart, and I felt like for weeks my brain was spinning...until I called my pastor's wife (she is co-paster) and asked her how she felt and what our church's stance was on that issue...well, it was the same thing I stated above that while God won't take away your salvation you can give it up...not by simple sins, however, you must turn back completely on God for a long time and never repent before you die.
