all event sin, things that we "commit," is done deliberately. Some of what we do wrong is deliberate. Some is just because that is who we are (immaturity and all). By one definition or another, we are all sinners.

Worse yet. Say your forty-nine grandkids are sweet innocent kids and that fiftieth is going to lead them all to Hell, ( the old one bad apple spoils the whole barrel thing.) Do you cling to the rotten apple, or throw it out?
cd: Did you read this DaveH-a little leaven lavens the whole lump?
I vote for casting out. I think that God does too. Why, you ask? Because He cast Adam out of the garden for one lousy sin and He cast Satan out of Heaven for the same reason. Deliberate sin is rebellion. It cost thousands their lives in Sodom. It cost millions their lives in the flood, and if you turn from God to deliberate sin, you are no better than those in Sodom and deserve the same treatment.

cd:Terry I don't think it as a severe punishment as A&E knew better-they were so righteous that they could walk and talk with God in the garden-what man could do that and live-they were much more then what men are today?
The only arguments against this thinking is that once saved, always saved thing that some talk about, presuming to have God's name on an unbreakable contract that allows you to do what you want after being baptized, and the pitiful argument that God is too loving to send people to Hell. Neither of which work for me.
I realize that I have not answered your question. I do not know at what point God may remove your name from the book, but God does know, and He will.
