jt: Unscriptural John. How did he get born saved since everyone is born into a "fallen creation" (sin) in the first Adam. The scriptures teach that God saw us in Christ before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4) and everyone's name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life at the beginning because Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. However, this does not negate the fall nor does it insure salvation unless one keeps their name from being blotted out. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Is an eternal truth So rather than get so tangled up with saved, not saved, saved, not saved. Wouldn't we be wiser to learn what God call's sin and stop doing it?
John: Interesting scripture, Judy. Our names are in that book from the beginning. Wow. I had forgotten this passage. Do you see God erasing some of these names? I don't.
jt: Yes I do, only the ones who overcome make it. Moses was aware that one could be blotted out (Exodus 32:32) and so was David (Ps 69:28). Jesus Himself says of the one who "overcomes" - I will not erase his name from the book of life (Rev 3:5).
So, the really important thing is not the book of life but the Divine Eraser. Interesting teaching.
Unscriptural John. ----- I would not have so written if it were unscriptural, JudyT. You might refer to Kay's interpretation of my interpretation of some of Paul's interpretation of Christ;s ------------------------------------------------- oh, never mind !!!!!
