quote:
I refer, in particular, to the teaching in II Peter 2 that I have very thoroughly explicated, above, to fully set out why I believe that it teaches that a saved person can sin so as to be lost. I could wish that you would be as thorough in your response, but so far you have made no response at all. I must therefore conclude that you have no credible response.

Because to respond to this would blow apart the "once saved always saved" and "invisible sinfulness" theories to which he clings.
We CAN be lost to sin. The prodigal son story shows this quite simply. as does 2Peter. And so, so many more Scripture passages.
But, they are all trumped by the Bill with the "Believe and you will have eternal life"...

Where in the bible does it say that one verse has "trumping power" over another? There are many more verses to refute "osas" than to claim it as truth.
