    . This reminds me of stories of people forced to renounce their faith at the point of the gun/sword and stomp on the cross to save their skins. Undoubtedly many felt terrible and damned - but they still never lost their salvation. .

    "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." John 3:36 NIV There is a major difference between the two verses that makes all the difference. I have read several translations of the verse and they essentially...

    . Looks to me he just gets his jollies playing silly entrapment games – it’s the same tiresome shtick as always. Not much originality I’m afraid. He must be bored in his mom’s basement – if he doesn’t watch it she may cut his internet privileges…. .

    Who is Elihu?

    . hi Karraster - thanks for the link. It's been a long time since i read Job. In the past i found it rather daunting and this article is a rather thought provoking distillation of the story to consider. Also some of the readers comments of this article have been intriguing. .

    . Ok I’ll amend my point from; ( ie. good works) to; ( ie. good works etc.) . And when Peter, not being in compliance, sank in the waves he didn’t lose salvation just buoyancy - momentarily. Good luck ‘complying’ to keep your salvation in good order. Myself – I’ll take; He shall not lose a...

    Hello DJ3 - welcome. "...no blessings" does not mean lose of salvation. And if we need "compliance" then salvation is not a gift and is something to be maintained. Salvation once bestowed will not be retracted or lost. That is the essence of this thread - everything else ( ie. good works)...

    . A single small sin or many big sins are enough to consign us to hell so don’t worry so much about Satan’s sins. But we and all our sins are covered by the blood of the lamb. We are as white as snow to Him. John 6:39 He will not lose a single one. Again u sin every single day - so big or...

    . Hi cgneustar U sin everyday – do u lose your salvation each time? And then confess it to regain it before going to bed? Salvation is not a strobe light; lose/find/lose/find/lose/find... Once granted it is never lost. That is the essence of this tread. Good works come after salvation but are...
