So in other words, GOD should have gotten you to write "The Bible" and you would have written "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, "MIGHT BE SAVED"!You're right nobody can snatch the sheep out of the Father's hand. But Jesus did not say that His true followers couldn't ultimately fail due to fault of their own., to fall off the path of righteousness. But there are plenty of warnings to that. effect that we need to know. 1Cor 15:2 - " By which you are saved, IF you hold fast that word I preached to you unless you believed in vain ". Heb 3:14 " For we become partakers of Christ IF we hold the beginning of our confidence Steadfast to the end. The word IF usually denotes a condition to follow. !Matt 24:13 " But he WhO endures to the end SHALL be saved" . too many warnings to list. The doctrine of eternal security or once saved always saves is not found in the Bible since there is a risk of losing it.
Instead of writing a false statement such as (Romans 10:13)
(Romans 10)
12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: 13for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
So the Words of God "SHALL BE SAVED" in this context is great Big LIE! and should Be replace by your "Authoritative words" "Might be saved"
Your interpretation of "HOLY Scripture" are lace with errors of understanding, not understanding the audience in which the writer is addressing and for what cause and reason he has taken on such a approach. And also mix the city culture of Corinth A.D. 56 and what they where dealing without any guide lines or written structure or The New Testament text with The Hebrews Letter that was written around A.D. 68 just before The fall of Jerusalem A.D. 70. In which our Lord Prophecy about the fall of Jerusalem in about or around 34-41 A.D.. When He gave the" Olivet Discourse". In which case many have not understood because of those who have lead them into something they do not understand. Reason: By not properly reading the text in "the Language syntax" in this case "english syntax" that describe three entirely events. In which The Book of Matthew was recorded or written in or around A.D. 50, and Jesus died between maybe 30-36 A.D. So one must be careful in comparing events of understanding of different era's of presentations. Like many of readers in our day and time, thinking that the earlier "Saints' or the People of "The WAY" had bibles or The New Testament writings in their "Assembly" and many do not understand most letters of The New Testaments was addressing errors concerning the saints, because of the mixtures of other "religions' that ran rampant in those times. For christianity had not even establish it's name yet, but only a new kind of religion on the Block. Remember also "the GOD Fearers" who have not even heard of "The Holy Spirit" and many places who have heard about Jesus by word of mouth but no guide lines, a lot of places had more than One wife, they still had Old Testament customs. That is why in the Pastoral Epistles it says a Pastor should have only one wife, it did not say anything about the rest of the men, until later on in other Epistles that was past on to other cities.
The thing that I am trying to get across, "The Bible" should be read 1st and read again and again in whole contents, time after time again, and GOD will open the Light. and before you know it, you will be studying it, with GOD as your Guide.
"Nominal Christians" floods our churches, they are the ones who people think are the 'True Children of GOD' But the "Nominals' are the ones who falls away, from GOD but not the church and never return because they Never became a "NEW CREATURE" in Christ Jesus' They are the "APOSTATES" they look like good and great christians for they are! But They do not act like or talk like a "True Child of GOD" That Was "BORN of HIS Spirit" and wash In His BLOOD" It takes time and years for a True Child of GOD to grow up and "Scars from the whip of GOD" because when GOD, discipline HIs Child, the Devil gets out of the Way and hides! Because GOD's whip produces "HOLINESS"! He will put that "ROD" on your back and That "Staff" around your neck! He makes you lie down in green pastures! A" nominal christian" will not come back to seeking GOD. for they do not belong to the Shepherd, But if that Sheep belongs to this Shepherd, He will come and get you! And believe me He can find you! That Staff is not only for the wolf, it is for you too! You have been bought with a price! You do not belong to yourself! You are Own and a "SLAVE" and Have a "MASTER"! and If you think, He is going to let you run away, you must be a fool, He will send His Angels to HUNT YOU DOWN! "ONCE OWN, ALWAYS OWN" you have been paid for! Buy The Blood of Jesus! Run away, you will see! when he get through with you, you will not run away again!
You see "Nominal Christians" loves to go to church and enjoy church services!
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down and wept,
When we remembered Zion.
Upon the willows in the midst of it
We hung our harps.
For there our captors demanded of us songs,
And our tormentors, jubilation, saying,
“Sing for us one of the songs of Zion!”
And God told Ezekiel:
"As for you, son of man, your people are talking about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’ So My people come to you as usual,sit before you, and hear your words; but they do not put them into practice. Although they express love with their mouths, their hearts pursue dishonest gain. Indeed, you are to them like a singer of love songs with a beautiful voice, who skillfully plays an instrument. They hear your words but do not put them into practice.…"
"Yes they love to go to Church" for GOD has said so!
Freely I receive, freely I give
