Once Saved Always Saved is Error

Dear John & Doves

Numerous Theologians teach that once saved always saved, one can in no way forfeit their salvation oqite often based on: NKJ John 10:28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." Yeshua is likely referring to His Talmidim, but in any event, even though no external person can snatch you out of God’s hand, a person usually can jump out of their own accord. The saying is "if you find yourself in hell, a loving God DID NOT send you there, you sent yourself. Salvation must be maintained; NIV Hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.".

While a person has a body, they must maintain control over the tendency to sin. 1 Corinthians 5: 3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." Deliver to satan for the destruction of his flesh (body) in order to save his soul. If the doctrine of "once saved always saved" Paul had this man killed for nothing.

If once saved, always saved were true, the the reprimands given by Jesus to 6 of the 7 churches in the Book of Revelation were pointless, as they "should have it in the bag."

JPS Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered; for his trespass that he trespassed, and for his sin that he hath sinned, for them shall he die." (That is referring toi spiritual death, as all people die.).

If once saved, always saved gives the person "radar lock" on heaven, then why try to restore anyoine: NIV Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.".

Judaism, and early Christianity never taught such poor doctrine. This doctrine stems, at most in the past 500 years: NKJ 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,"

Y’va-reh-cha-cha Ah-doe-nigh v’yeesh-m’reh-cha, Ya-air Ah-doe-nigh, pa-navh ay-leh-cha vee-choo-neh-ka, Yee-sa Ah-doe-nigh pa-nahv al-leh-cha ve-ya-sem l’cha Shalom. (Numbers 6:24-26). The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
