No. It's about the NATURE of what the being is. The nature of a dog is to eat vomit and roll in the mud. That's what it WANTS to do at it's core.
You, as a Child of God, may stumble into that stuff, but that's not who you are at YOUR core.

I have free will also my friend
and every time I return to a particular sin, it tasts like poison. I do not like it as much, and I get chastened by God, which is very painful.
So for those reasons. I do not return to my vomit and can not live like the world anymore..
And if I return back to my sinner way before meeting God I am returning back to natural habits I once had like a dog returning to its vomit or a pig to its mud.
I am not calvinist. Start talking and listening to ME, and stop trying to put me into some group.. that is the problem with so many discussions. people want to put people in a group and never hear a word they say. It has them blind. And I can be guilty of this myself. we need to stop it. all of us
Yes, you feel guilty.
But Peter shows us it also entangles us and we become worse for it.
what is gods standard?
How much sin would you have to perform for you to have to much sin to lose salvation?
You're the one who's paranoid about works; I have no problem with it. It's all part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm sorry that you're so hung up on this issue. I hope you can resolve it in your own mind and find some peace.
well yeah and no. I feel more than guilty, i fill pricked to the heart..
another reason we can't return to sin.
Should I?
Who are you to have knowledge to understand what took place in that interaction?
We could though if we wanted to.
But we don't and we made that choice ourselves.
It's not sinning but turning your back on God to go back to that old lifestyle. It's called back sliding.
I do not know , by the way he is answering , not very nice at all...The way he answered me back when he made that remark to you told me to leave that person alone...
LOL!
Too funny, coming from the originator of the thread!
The whole POINT is I'm NOT hung up on this issue, and want those that are "striving" to remain saved to come to the realization that JESUS is the One who saves us AND keeps us saved.
so your going to resist God and his chastening, and continue to do something that makes you want to eat your vomit
you worry me my friend
I missed this. I think you owe this member an apology.
Is THIS what Jesus would say?
