OSAS does not survive the Bible details
in Matthew 18 where we see "forgiveness revoked"
does not survive the Bible details in Romans 11 where we see 'salvation revoked"
Does not survive the Bible details in John 15 where those 'in Christ" are cut off and burned up.
Does not survive the Bible details in Ezek 18 where we see forgiveness revoked.
Does not surive the Bible details in Ephesians 6 where we see salvation revoked
Does not survive Paul's statement in 1 Cor 9 - "LEST after preaching the Gospel to others I myself should be disqualified from it"
Does not survive Romans 2:13
Does not survive Romans 2:4-9
Does not survive the details of Gal 4 "I fear I have labored over you in vain"
These are not just "so many Bible texts to be ignored" --
Again, already addressed, beginning here...
Let's look at them:My arguments about Sola Scriptura go this way --
I have numerous threads started by me on this section of the board dealing with the fact that the false doctrine of OSAS does not survive the Bible details.
So here is "yet another"
OSAS does not survive the Bible details
in Matthew 18 where we see "forgiveness revoked"
It is ironic that the first argument you present is a good example of how the New Testament, and Scripture as a whole, is misunderstood by those who refuse to recognize the magnitude of the Cross.
As already shown, numerous times, the forgiveness here...
Matthew 18:21-35
King James Version (KJV)
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
...is not Eternal Redemption, and is not the Remission of Sins in Completion as taught in Hebrews 10:14, which still have not adequately addressed. Just presenting false arguments (and I will point that out when we get to it) and saying it speaks generally doesn't change the fact that those who are sanctified by the Blood of Christ are made complete in regards to remission of sins...
...forever.
Here it is again:
Hebrews 10:1-4
King James Version (KJV)
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
The context is indisputably remission of sins, and here we see that the sacrifices of the Covenant of Law (nor those who offered them (Hebrews 7:11; Hebrews 9:9)) could not take away sins because the offering up of animals in the stead of the sinner...could not take away their sins. Hence they had to be repeated again.
But not so with the Sacrifice of Christ:
Hebrews 10:10-14
King James Version (KJV)
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
The false argument that I have somehow implied that "the idea that the atoning sacrifice ended the story "for the whole world" fixing the whole world as "forever saved." is ridiculous Bob, I have made it clear this applies only to those who are sanctified by the Blood of Christ. If I have not, then understnad this now...
...I have never, and will never, suggested "the idea that the atoning sacrifice ended the story "for the whole world" fixing the whole world as "forever saved."
What I have suggested, and in fact been very clear about, is that here we have the contrast between animal sacrifice and the Sacrifice of Christ. Those who have been sanctified by His Blood are made complete in regards to remission of sins...
...forever.
Now, address my actual argument, and please refrain from imposing false arguments into the discussion, it only wastes time.
Going back to Matthew 18, I do not expect you to understand this passage in a Biblical context because your refuse to understand that not all of the "Gospels" in Scripture are the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
And my response was so detailed it will not fit in one post with the additional commentary, Bob, so...
