Look, I agree that sin is rebellion and God hates sin. We should hate sin just as much.
What I am saying is simple and in the bible. A Christian who has been born again cannot lose their salvation. Even if they sin willingly or unknowingly.
That is what is difficult for people to understand.
That is why these verses I ...[text shortened]...
He cannot deny Himself.
What does it mean "he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire"?
Lets provide some answers here:
I agree that sin is rebellion and God hates sin. [YES]
We should hate sin just as much. [NOT SHOULD, .. HAVE TO]
What I am saying is simple and in the bible. [WRONG]
A Christian who has been born again cannot lose their salvation. [NOT IN THE BIBLE]
Even if they sin willingly or unknowingly. [ NONSENSE]
That is what is difficult for people to understand. [DIFFICULT FOR SMART PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND]
That is why these verses I quoted earlier are written..... [THE EARLIER VERSES PROVED TO BE NONSENSE AND NOT SUPPORTING YOUR CASE]
A person cannot become unborn again. [A BORN AGAIN PERSON CAN BE DESTROYED 1 COR 3: 17]
I have said before, my earthly father, no matter what I did, would not cast me into hell. [GOD IS NOT YOUR EARTHLY FATHER]
Is God not as good as my father? [GOD IS JUST.AND FAIR, NOT BECAUSE YOU PROFESS YOUR FAITH WITH YOUR MOUTH, MEANS THAT GOD WILL BE FOOLED, LIKE YOUR EARTHLY FATHER]
Once you are a son of God you are always a son, [THE CHRISTIAN WHO CONTINUES WITH SIN IS NOT A SON OF GOD BUT A CHILD OF THE DEVIL]
no matter what. If you turn to a sinful lifestyle,
you are stupid and will suffer consequences,
but not eternal separation from God. [YES. JESUS SAID :
Luk 12:46 The lord of that servant ... will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. THATS ETERNAL SEPARATION.
The consequences? I don't know, the bible does not say, [THE BIBLE IS CLEAR .. EVIL AND SINFUL CHRISTIANS WILL BE CUT OFF, DESTROYED, BURNED LIKE THE CHAFF, FIT FOR NOTHING, WORSE THAN MANURE, CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE, ... ]
but it is more than losing rewards. [ ??? WHAT ???]
Read these verses carefully... what does "incorruptible mean?
What does it mean "his seed will remain in him?"
What does it mean " If we are faithless, He remains faithful; [FAITHFUL GOD WILL DO WHAT HE PROMISED]
He cannot deny Himself.
What does it mean "he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire"? [1 COR 3 DESCRIBES 3 GROUPS OF CHRISTIANS.... TWO GROUPS WILL BE SAVED, ONE GROUP WILL BE DESTROYED]
