Perhaps brothers you should consider hell and it's horrors.
Really get a grasp of what it will be for the lost.
I say this to myself too having recently lost a very dear friend.
I am also aware of family who are not saved to my knowledge.
It is easy to bask in our salvation and sit back discussing things online. But there is a real world out there who do not know the joy of salvation.
So brothers it really does matter.
Think about a lost eternity and about those you love who may end up there.
You posts make me very sad
@Br. Bear @Brother-Paul
Greetings sister,
First things first if I may, read my posts in the first three pages, I have agreed with what you say, I have given explanations and scripture to
@KingJ showing why I believe these things, which are exactly as you are saying.
I also do not have one family member saved, from mine and my wife's families, going backwards or forwards at least three generations. I am therefore aware of what scripture says and the TOTAL LOSS, which I have avoided saying till now for obvious reasons.
With all scripture I always keep an open mind, we come across to many who preach their gospel, rigidly, there is no other way. With basic scripture this can be fine, but one getting into meat it is always possible someone may raise another scripture verse I/we may not have considered.
Now, on this basis, I took what
@KingJ has said, though I think it total poppycock, and said OK, lets go back to the start and look at this from the beginning, in other words, let scripture talk. Having done this, you will read, @Br Bear made a comment, he had read something or discussed something that, may or may not, both options considered, cause reason to read and consider. I replied, as you will see, to say I also read some scripture that made me say, OK let's consider this, again it/they may or may not make any difference to our current understanding.
ALL scripture is God breathed and given for us to search and understand The Truth.
I can only assume you have not read all the posts, and I appreciate it can be hard sometimes adding part way through discussions without looking back, I guess we are all guilty of that at some stage, especially when the number of posts increase significantly.
So the above confirms the context of the discussions at this stage, but does not say this is right, that is wrong, although we are pretty sure we may know. If we do not consider all scripture verses on a topic, or as many as possible, surely we are in effect blinkering our thoughts regarding God's Word for us all.
I post the reply in His Love sister, Peace be with you.
Jesus is Lord.
