Featured Why persons perish in Hell.

Well, first there is a big contradiction in the OPs statement.
1) All are in the Lambs book of Life because Christ paid for all human souls. By that statement, all are saved and written in the Book of Life as being saved.

2) The names are removed for not receiving God's forgiveness as needed because of one's sin.

So, God paid for all sins of all human souls. That's the first claim. But, names can be removed because God doesn't forgive the sins that Jesus paid for.

The OP seems to think that although Jesus paid the price in full so that no sin exists before a Holy God, yet all humans are unforgiven because their sins still stand before God as unforgiven.

This begs the question, "How did their sins come back as unpaid?" If one says that God cannot forgive the sin of unforgiveness then there is at least one sin that has not been paid for and the first sentence cannot be true. If one must do something, in this case ask forgiveness for sin, then Rob has correctly identifies salvation by works since, despite all human souls being paid for, there is an action by all human souls that would be required.

The last statement of the OP, "I am also persuaded God, who saves, keeps whom he saves" then makes the second assertion null and void because in the first sentence the OP tells us that all humans are fully paid for by Christ.

Jon, my question for you is...how can you NOT see works based salvation in the OP?

 

Some persons names were never written in the Lambs book of life Rev 17:8


The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Were not written is in the perfect tense, a completed action in the past once and for all. That means they were never chosen in Christ before the foundation, thus the reprobate of the world.

No, He couldnt have ransomed them who are never set free from the power, captivity of the devil. The word ransom as in Matt 20:28

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.The word is lytron :

1. he price for redeeming, ransom
   
   1. paid for slaves, captives
      
      
   2. for the ransom of life
      
2. to liberate many from misery and the penalty of their sins
   

Also the ransomed have been released from the penalty of sin. So they cant die in their sins, period. Now surely that's not all mankind unless you believe in universalism which is a false concept in my opinion.

 

Yes were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, its plain,

he beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

There names have not been written ! This blows your unscriptural theory up.

 

Here is what you wrote:
I am of the persuasion everone's name starts out in that book because Christ paid for all human souls. And names are removed for not receiving God's forgiveness as needed because of one's sins. I am also persuaded God who saves keeps whom He saves.

But, you only highlighted the last half of your last sentence. You ignored all the contradictory statements that stand in direct opposition to your last half sentence.

You have to live with the contradiction, not me. However, do you even see the contradiction?

Rob is not wrong in saying your assertion sounds like salvation by works. Can you not see your contradiction. Is it a blind spot for you?

 

Seriously? Consider the source. @AustinC is BB's #1 accuser.... it's the one thing you can count on him to do - accuse.

Is rejecting Christ a sin Christ died for ? If not, then Christs redeeming death doesnt redeem from all iniquity Titus 2:14

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Thats under the Old Covenant Law dispensation, applied to national israel, its a stretch to make that be the Lambs Book of life, you must prove that since you assert it.

More Old Covenant Israel imprecation, more to the tune of reprobation. Still says nothing about once they were written in the Lambs book of life

Thats simply those whose names were not written in the lambs book of life Rev 17:8

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

You failed to prove what you said, its speculation, not grounded in scripture.

 

Well if rejecting Jesus Christ is a sin paid for by His Blood, then evidently those who perish in hell for their sins cannot possibly be anyone Christ died for, thats would be injustice.
