Mortal and Venial Sins Part 3

October 17, 2020 / cindykcox / 2 Comments

A couple of posts back I quoted a view that the concept of a difference between mortal and venial sins isn’t Biblical.  We’ll now turn to the most explicit passage of Scripture that specifically says, yes it is. We already reviewed this passage in the context of whether a person can lose their salvation where … Continue reading Mortal and Venial Sins Part 3

Mortal and Venial Sins Part 2

October 14, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

To resolve the question as to whether some sins are greater than others, we simply have to look to the words of Christ.  When standing before Pilate to be condemned to death, Pilate asks Jesus, “You will not speak to me?  Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to … Continue reading Mortal and Venial Sins Part 2

Mortal and Venial Sins Part 1

October 11, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

Closely related to our understanding that a person who was once a member of the body of Christ can be severed and “lose” their salvation is an understanding of whether certain sins will result in this separation.  For all of those Christian groups who do not profess a doctrine of Once-Saved, Always Saved or in … Continue reading Mortal and Venial Sins Part 1

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 6

October 6, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

In his writings in Sacred Scripture, St. Paul affirms many of the things we’ve already seen regarding our salvation –faithfulness to Christ is not optional, we must remain in him, and we must persevere to the end. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-2, St. Paul writes “Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 6

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 5

October 3, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

The Bible includes many passages that indicate an individual can lose their salvation.  We’ve looked at what Christ has to say.  Before we move on to St.  Paul, I’d like to look at some of the other New Testament passages that speak to this topic. In the book of Acts we read “When they had … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 5

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 4

September 30, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

Over the next several posts we’ll look at the places in Scripture that indicate you can at one time be a member of the body of Christ and then lose that position, your salvation.  We’ll start by looking at some things Jesus himself says. In Luke 8:4-15 Jesus tells the parable of the sower, and … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 4

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 3

September 27, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

There are other places in Sacred Scripture that those who believe in a doctrine of Eternal Security will point to in support of their understanding.  One is John 5:24 where Jesus says “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 3

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 2

September 24, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

When a Catholic engages in conversation with another Christian who believes in the doctrine of Eternal Security, one of the more common questions we may be asked is, “Do you know you are saved?  The Bible says you can know that you have eternal life.  Do you know you have eternal life?”  The underlying premise … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 2

Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 1

September 21, 2020 / cindykcox / Leave a comment

The “P” in Calvin’s TULIP acronym stands for the “Perseverance of the Saints.”  In Calvin’s view since God is sovereign and His will cannot be frustrated, those who are predestined to salvation will receive the grace to persist in faith to the end.  Calvin is the first to promote this doctrine and it is a … Continue reading Once-Saved, Always-Saved Part 1
