Ok. So my friends and I have been debating on wether or not you can lose your salvation and actually last night i found these scriptures 2 Peter 3-11 "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us to his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world cause by evil desires. for this very reason, make every effort to add your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge , self-control; and to self-control, preseverance; and to preseverance, godliness and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. for if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has FORGOTTEN THAT HE HAS BEEN FORGIVEN OF HIS PAST SINS(my capitalization). Therefore, my brothers, be all more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Okay so the argument here is well what if someone is a Christian but falls away from the Lord? My answer is simple, well that person will come back.Matthew 26 28-30 "And why worry about your clothes? Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you? You have so little faith!, or they never were truly Christians. (there are fake pastors out there so people can act for a long time). And then they pulled the what if question on me, well what if they stray away from God and die? are they still saved, and my answer is still yes, its a gift from God, its a "free ticket" it is what shows his magnificant love towards us, and then there is the thing, there is no such thing as a free ride, But God is awesome and thats is just a little thing that makes him awesome. As for athiests who claim they have been Christian, I was told when a teenager starts to rebel they want to find an argument that they could prove their parents wrong in, and most athiests being pastors kids, why not chose their career? So that proves that they were merely wanting to make their parents proud. By saying they were Christians, but when they started to rebel they chose that option to rebel on. ( this is my point of veiw please comment yours). I am not saying that this is it in all cases, but i am sure it is in a few.
As for more "dramatic stuff" that has been going on i was never going to comment on this but then my name got thrown into the mix, so i guess it is my business now.... My two friends are going at it. Its a guy and a girl. And i have to say that I am on the guys side. here are a couple of reasons why. Well first off, this guy has liked this girl and practically would die for her, until now, and she used that against himself and tore him up. She let him give her all the attention and gave none back, he bought her dinner, and he liked her soo much he pushed me away for a little but, but we are all friends now. Anyways all of this saying that he is her boyfriend without the title of boyfriend girlfriend, because she knew when an attractive guy would come along she would go straight for him, and blow the guy(my friend) off. Another point is she wouldn't go to things that this guy set up for her and everything, then gets "cramps" and ditches on him, after all that work, after a full year of planning, the girl pulls out last minute. And after all this all the guy wanted was some attention, But after that incident the guy got to his senses saying we should take a break, because they have been fighting and what not, soo the guy likes it because he gets to hang out with people he hasnt hung out with for awhile. But the girl relizes after a day she doesnt get attention anymore, as she has been using him for. so she wants to end the break, but the guy is having fun and doesnt want too. So she starts pulling guilt trips, thinking she will get him back, but he doesnt go back, so she shuns everybody out and starts blaming him for it, when it is not his fault for her actions. And as for her saying he was "talking bad about her" he was only expressing how he feels, and not to mention every time he said he has to do what he has to do, and saying he feels like a jerk for it, i can not consider that being talking bad. Sorry. So i got pulled into this for her trying to pull a guilt trip on me, i forgive her for it, i hope she doesnt regret that i posted this though. i just hope after all of this the post stuff will stop, and guilt trips wont be pulled anymore.
To end on a happy note :D I think im going to start a worship band:D, and for now im going to study James, everyone should study their Bibles too:D
