ArchivedOSAS revisitedFaulty prooftexting? You are infact the one who stated that I pulled scriptures "totally out of context", I stated that it seems that anyone disagreeing with you is considered using the tactic of "pulling verses out of context". I will again explain Colossians 1:23, which BTW claimed (I) took out of context. Colossians 1:23: In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If {eigi:if indeed, seeing that, since, unless, (with negative) otherwise:--if (so be that, yet).} ye continue {epimenoresent, indicative, active} in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; (Colossians 1:22,23) The Scriptures teaches us that if a person does not stand firm in the belief, this person is NOT saved, and example of this is found in another passage which uses the same "IF": "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, IF ye keep in memory hold fast what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain" (1 Cor. 15:1-2). Vain belief is not (saving faith), which demonstrates that this person clearly wasn't saved in the first place, Salvation comes by genuine faith in the finished work of Christ and the Gospel, not vain faith! I don't use "one" passage in scripture and try to establish an entire doctrine with it, I use the Word of God as a whole. I can surmise that you will use Hebrews as an another example, however that passage further doesn't demonstrate the doctrine of Conditional Security. . God Bless! |
