Soooooooooooooo........you want to start a little bible study...study not debate on the Restricted side of the board? Let's all brainstorm on some topics, ok?
Wow!! I left last night and there were six pages to this thread..... come back tonight and there are nine!! I haven't read all that I missed but I want to say how much I appreciate this discussion, it's really helped me to solidify how I feel. I think in my previous post.... lost way back in the shuffle!!..... I came across more, I don't know, hard? than I really am. I have wondered about the single sin issue, but on the other hand there have been times in my walk when God has dealt with me on things that it's taken me a long time to overcome. During those times I never felt that I was in danger of losing my salvation... just that God wanted me to come up a little higher. I liked the way someone put it (I think it was Prairie) and I'm putting this in my own words. That you have to intentionally turn your back on God, walk unrepentantly in sin to lose your salvation, but as long as we're walking with Christ we're covered. Anyway I hope I didn't come across before as someone who thinks you have to earn salvation. I think I'm a little touchy on that issue because by just looking at me some might judge me to believe that. ( I know ya'll can't see me, but still!) That couldn't be farther from the truth. My rightousness is as filthy rags, it's only by the grace of God that I'm saved. Thanks again, this has been a great discussion and I truly appreciate how great..... and knowledgeable, ya'll put me to shame..... everyone is in these talks!
Well I wanted to say THANK YOU to you ladies as well. I hope I didn't step on anyones toes. I was just trying to give a different point of view about this topic. Thanks again
