Paul never says that you can't reject a gift. If it can't be rejected - then it's NOT a gift - it's a sentence.

Sorry - but when my Lord says "Dead" - He means "DEAD" - as in NO LIFE.

I never used the "C" word once - did I??

ANY gift can be refused. God is not some sort of Cosmic Rapist who forces His love on us. It is a GIFT that can either be accepted can be rejected.

When we are dead to God - we are SPIRITUALLY dead. End of story - unless we repent . . .

What YOU think God is saying?? I'll go with 2000 years of constant living teaching of the Church on this one - not YOUR opinion . . .

A gift requires your cooperation. You can give a gift back to the giver.

He was "Dead" to the Father - just as those who reject God are dead spiritually.

Hey - I'm not the one who said it - GOD did. If YOU think He's a liar - then take it up with Him . . . Rev. 22:19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. How can...

Sure it is. Eternity requires out cooperation (sunergos).

Apparently, YOU think Jesus was just kidding when He said the Son was "DEAD". Jesus wasn't a comedian - He is God.

No - it's eternal until the person decides they want out. Eternal life is a gift - not a sentence - and a gift can be returned . . .

Yup - unless he LOSES it by choice (Matt. 5:13, Matt. 7:21, Rom. 11:22, Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Peter 2:20-22, 2 Peter 3:17, Rev. 3:5, Rev. 22:19).

That's just it - I'm not a "Romanist." I don't even know what a "Romanist" is.

Yup - unless he turns away from it and loses it. You might have a "lifetime" subscription to a magazine - but it is up to YOU if you want to end it. Does that mean that is was never a lifetime subscription??

There is no such thing as a "Roman Church." The official title of the Catholic Church is . . . "The Catholic Church" - and there is only ONE. Anyway - this is not a "Protestant vs. Cathooic" thread so stop trying to hijack the thread . . .

So - out of the tens of thousands of Protestant sects - YOU are the judge as to who is right and who is wrong? Interesting . . .

Yes, that is what I'm saying as the Parable of the Prodigal son teaches. Had the son not had a change of heart - he would have been lost forever.

This is a false anti-Catholic lie - but I'm not surprised, coming from you . . .

BUT - he was DEAD and was alive again. He was LOST and was found. These words cannot be taken lightly.
