Featured When are names written in the "Book of Life"?"

From our point of view, when we repent and are justified before God.

From God's point of view, being timeless, before the foundation of the world, today, or after the end of eternity, take your pick.

 

Yep, I noticed it disappeared. I believe I used Revelation 17:8, or Revelation 13:8.

 

Right, but more than that as it is speaking of the lost, not of the saved.

There seems an implication by the biblical language that implies others names were written in at that time. This is seen by showing that the name's of those who are lost were 'not written in at the foundation of the world'.

Not that I am aware of. I'm sure you are also aware of this. As to the why not, it is of course because God decreed it to be so.

 

You're moving to something else. When I responded it wasn't to waste my time, but in order that what I actually spent time to answer would be addressed, not that another rabbit trail be created. I'm just not into 'whack-a-mole' theology.

 

Not specifically. There is this:

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

 

Um, no, you're wrong.

I addressed the OP of which you allude to in post #1 and note also #23. I gave an answer as to 'when' but instead of acknowledging this you went into rabbit trail mode.

I made a response, you ignored that response.

Then you went into this; "you didn't address the OP, it is about when the names were put in, not if they are in or not found or even blotted out." in post #29.

But then in the very next post you say "Do you think names are added at repentance? or blotted out at non repentance?" after saying it is not about this previously.

Uh. OK. Sounds quite trollish to me.

 

From all eternity, to state it simply.

 

A sad but true reality of how some view God's electing love.

All aboard!!!! #ChooChoo

 

That is not explicitly stated in the bible. However, Revelation 13:8 & Revelation 17:8 explicitly aver unbelievers' names were never written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the creation(foundation) of the world.

Now, names were written in that Book from the creation of the world, correct? Which names? Believers.

 

No. There was a Book of Life existing from before the foundation of the world. Whether or not there were names written in it is not known.

 

Well the I guess the Lamb's Book of Life was full of blank pages at the creation of the world?

Either names were written there then or they weren't. Which is it?

 

I apologize that you cannot read between the lines and see vivid implications. The implications are in neon sign form, but you cannot see them.

I cannot then help you, nor can any other for that matter.

 

He asked, we answred, he says 'nah'! Me thinks he already knew the answer.
