Judy, if you want me to do this, I will. But when I
do, are you really going to be ready to repent? I rather doubt it. But I would
be thrilled if you are.

Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Whose Names are
Written in the Lambs Book of Life?
To the contrary, Judy, I have no problem
believing that the names of those who do not reject the Christ will remain
unblotted from the Lambs Book of Life. How about if you let me and the triad
articulate our own beliefs. When you feel compelled to
smear us with caricatures and misrepresentations, just think of how
you like it when others do that to you. Then if you want to go ahead and do
it, then go ahead and do it. You don't bother me so much anymore; I'll
still forgive you. Your friend,
Bill
jt: Very dramatic
Bill. But please tell me in what way I have smeared,
misrepresented and caricatured you? BTW you are included in the triad
along with Lance, and Jonathan. Before you forgive me please tell
me what I have done wrong. Don't you believe that all mankind is included in
the incarnation which makes them all headed for heaven whether or not they
overcome anything and weren't you writing about the perils of enlightenment
thinking and how it keeps one from being able to understand scripture?
If you don't believe these things then at least give me the opportunity to
repent.. judyt

it is in the Book and the really important thing should be what God says

Unscriptural John.

jt: Oh, I see. We are back to
this is just my interpretation and I can't know anything because of my
"enlightenment thinking?" Please yourself John.
It's your
future. I knew you (and the triad) wouldn't want "overcoming" on the front
burner since the theological theories are so much
easier. judyt
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ jt: Unscriptural John. How did he get born saved
since everyone is born into a "fallen creation" (sin) in the first Adam.
The scriptures teach that God saw us in Christ before the foundation of
the world (Eph 1:4) and everyone's name was written in the Lamb's Book of
Life at the beginning because Jesus was the lamb slain before the
foundation of the world. However, this does not negate the fall nor does
it insure salvation unless one keeps their name from being blotted
out. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Is an eternal truth So
rather than get so tangled up with saved, not saved, saved, not saved.
Wouldn't we be wiser to learn what God call's sin and stop doing
it? John: Interesting
scripture, Judy. Our names are in that book from the
beginning. Wow. I had forgotten this passage. Do
you see God erasing some of these names? I don't.
jt: Yes I do, only the ones who overcome
make it. Moses was aware that one could be blotted out (Exodus
32:32) and so was David (Ps 69:28). Jesus Himself says of the one who
"overcomes" - I will not erase his name from the book of life (Rev
3:5).
So, the really important thing is not the book of
life but the Divine Eraser. Interesting teaching.
Unscriptural John.
