Originally posted by lucifershammerI pretty much know (from experiance) that you can fall away after being saved. People will say that I never was saved in the first place, but I doubt that. The Bible says that ALL who asks will be saved, not all who ask and dont fall away later will be saved.
Meaning... what?
What happens if I am "saved" but choose not to accept 'spiritual maturity'? According to the OSAS view, God won't take my salvation away.
Originally posted by NordlysI actually got so sick of that argument that I added it into my "Self-Proclaimed Title" here.
I.e. anyone who is saved is incapable of such behaviour? And people who behave that way must have been insincere (possibly deceiving themselves) about ever having accepted Jesus Christ as their saviour? That seems to contradict the certainty evangelicals (maybe not all of them?) seem to have about being saved. How can they know they didn't deceive themselves ...[text shortened]... d with X were cured, but since we know X is incurable, they have clearly been misdiagnosed."
Originally posted by kirksey957Traditionally, we atheists celebrate by eating babies. So, you could provide your atheist friends with a nice wine that would go well with baby.
Can you help me out here. I want to send well wishes to my atheist brothers and sisters on that day, but am not sure of proper etiquette.
Originally posted by bbarrI have no reason to accept your fiat that is "overwhelmingly likely" that beliefs of bbarr are true; this merely replaces "Divine Command Theory" with "Bbarr Command Theory".
(1) For any belief of mine, it is overwhelmingly likely that that belief is true.
(2) I believe that Atheism Day exists.
Hence,....
Originally posted by kirksey957Of course this will depend to some degree on how the baby is seasoned. But, the general rule is this: wines that go well with pork go well with baby. I recommend a Burgundy or Grenache.
Are certain wines better say with a black baby as opposed to a white baby? Kind of like fish and steak.
