I am a Firm Believer in OSAS . Jesus made me that way.He said that if we simply Believe in Him , and Trust in Him ALONE for our Salvation we would find the following to be True: we would “ already HAVE Eternal Life and would NEVER come under Condemnation” Silly me— I actually BELIEVE that Jesus will keep His Word.That's what Faith is.....Trusting in a Promise Of God.....I “ have” that kind of Faith.....That is why I Saved. Forever.
Having said all of that.....the Critics Of me and my ilk are always saying that the only reason that the OSAS Crowd Believes the way that they do is so that they can go out and Sin to their little heart’s content and “ Get away with it!”
Well,here’s something for you Nay-Sayers to ponder.....”Your” Doctrine maintains that if you Sin, all “you” have to Do is make sure you “ Repent” Of That Sin before you go to bed that night, lest you let it slide, die overnight of a sudden heart- attack and wind up in Hell.....
So why not both sides just get together , grab each other’s hands, go to the nearest House Of Ill -Repute , get Blind drunk and just have a Big Ol’ Time ! There should be nothing to worry about.....I can do anything I want to do and get away with it ( even without a prayer of Repentance ) and all you guys have to do is admit your sin to God and apologize for it and promise to do your best not to do it again and your standing with God is “ as good as Gold”...... just like mine!
I think this little Pretend Tale clearly illustrates the error and hypocrisy you show when you accuse the OSAS Believing their Doctrine solely to “ take Grace as a License to Sin”..... Your Doctrine allows for the Same ungodly Behavior ....both groups can abuse the Grace Of God if they are Foolish to try it ....
My Main reason for avoiding Sin is because When God Forgave ALL of my Sins , He did not stop with that —- He gave me a New Heart .That “ New Heart” did not make me God's Robot......Before my Salvation , I was Free to do whatever I wanted to do —- right or wrong! THAt has NOT changed—— God has never messed with my Freedom Of choice ..... I still do what I want , but God kinda “ tricked “ me. He changed my “ Wants”
Sinning robs me Of my Joy , it has lost its “magical Appeal” ......as I have said Before — Sin has about the same appeal for me as getting a Drano Enema does ....so speaking of how God Changes our “ Wants” ( its that “ Inside Of the cup thingy” ) —- Who on Earth would want THAT?
One must be a New Creation to understand these things . Some things must be “ Spiritually Discerned” to be understood ....it makes me want to ask the question —- why do some of you lack “ Spiritual Discernent ?” Are you CERTAIN that you are a “ New Creation?” I doubt that some of you are...Some say that OSAS is the “ Narrow Gate”......Some could be right .....
In the meantime.....abandon your “ Canard” about the “ license to Sin” being the Appeal and the Inspiration for OSAS ......you do Nothing But Show your ignorance when you do that.....both camps can abuse God's Grace when they are Stupid enough to try it ......Neither side needs any “ license” to disobey God, anyway—— if you have a brain, you know that we ALL—Both Sides— do a splendid job of Sinning Without a “Permission Slip” or a License to do so.......God Bless....
