So what about those included in the great perichoresis
who do not endure to the end? Judas didn't.
And what about Israel who were given the Promised Land
but only two of them believed they could take it.
This was written for an example to us. We are
also given a 'Promised Land' which is our own heart but
the same enemies are camped there and some on this list
are making the claim that we don't have to take it.
You are one of them JD and here you are telling me you
are as pure as it gets... Hmmmm! Someone should
have informed those 10 spies.

Holiness, blamelessness and being above reproach "happen" to us the instant we accept Christ. In Christ, right now, I am as pure as it gets. It is flat out heresy to disagree or to teach otherwise. In God's "plan" of salvation He first absolves us from all that causes our defeat and then helps to bring our person into this reality. We don't work to get saved, rather, we work because we are saved ----- Soteriology 101. JD
