Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesSaved no matter what?
burwelm, no matter how you try and conform that passage in scripture to prove otherwise, it clearly says better of Judas if he had never existed "not been born" (ou gennao), which literally means having never given birthed to. Secondly the scriptures do prove that not all will be saved: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2) The Hebrew word for everlasting is "owlam" which can mean an eternity or for a long duration of time. In the same context the word everlasting "owlam" is used to describe everlasting life. If the shame and contempt is not everlasting "owlam", then neither is everlasting life. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (2 Thessalonians 1:9) The bible uses the words punished with everlasting destruction (dike tino aionios olethros) to show that the LORD will recompense with eternal destruction proving that the unsaved will be lost forever. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. (Mark 3:29) Jesus is stating that the one who is guilty of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost "hath" (in the present tense) never forgiveness (ou eis aion aphesis), literally meaning that persons is already condemend without the possiblity of parole. One of the most common causes of defection from the faith is personal interpretation and reasoning, along with compromising the truth to accomodate their doctrine. I'd rather put my TRUST in what the scriptures definitively prove rather then lean towards personal opinion and doctrines of men. Bottom line, the truth hurts but nevertheless its still the truth, and Gods word is immutable. God Bless! |
