Some one sent me the prodigal parable to me to convince me of the once saved always saved modern doctrine.
He forgot about all the prodigals that do not return in which many scriptures refer to and warn about.
It's like this new teaching has cause a stroke in the minds of christians. People with a stroke can totaly ignore one side of the body because to them it does not exist, they don't notice it. So too with these folks. Directing them to scripture that contradicts their theology is like throwing peas at a wall [ Romanian saying]
 
The prodigal made a choice. He was pushed that way, but he was the one that made the choice to return, many don't. If you have been around long enough and are honest you will agree. This they were never realy saved is a dishonest arguement. The bible says if you confess with your mouth and believe with your heart you shall be saved. People change their minds and hearts.
