What the OSAS peoples won't tell you because they don't accept the validity of this is... God is NOT mocked... whatsoever a man sows, that shall He also reap he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7-8)
They'll agree that when one is born again they did sow to the spirit and reaped life... but then they deny and ignore the rest of Galatians 6:7-8 claiming if one sows to the flesh (sins) they do not rep corruption.
If one claims we DO reap corruption when we sin, then they are admitting they do not believe OSAS / Eternal security doctrine (and sadly many of their friends will forsake them!).... and if one claims we DO NOT reap what we sow, then according to Gal 6:7, that would be mocking God!
And did you know we are supposed to fear God? Fear Him enough to NOT do sinful behavior because if we do, we reap corruption.
Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
You have no idea what you're talking about. I was raised in an "eternal security" church and although I was taught that my salvation was irrevocable, every other sermon was about the punishment for sin and creating doubt as to whether one's salvation was sincere and legitimately received if they had any sin in their lives.
Your posts exhibit that all of the -isms you like to mock fit into the neat, tiny little boxes you store in your mind with their respective "peoples," as you call them, all parting their hair they same way.
You remind of a meme I once saw:
"People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who actually do."
That's sarcasm.
Quoting Ecclesiastes 12:13 is the height of ironic absurdity coming from you, by the way.
