    For centuries the use of the word “fallen” has been used as one engaging in sin.

    Perhaps the use it is best seen in Psalms 37:

    23The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
    And He delights in his way.

    24When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
    Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.


    The NKJ gives a really good translation, too.
    23The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
    And He delights in his way.
    24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
    For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

    This is one of the verses in which one may find securing the preservation and perseverance of the saints.

    One may certainly stumble and even for a time “fall” into sinfulness, but the redeemed will repent and the Lord will cleanse.

    I don’t mind visiting with you.

    Sometimes, though, when one has been clearly shown the truth, and such has been repeatedly verified from multiple Biblical places, then it becomes obvious that no matter the words used to convey the truth, the truth will be rejected.

    In effect, further discussion with that poster on the thread becomes of no edification and value.

    That was the communication intent. The original longer post was edited to these short sentences.
