Can we lose Salvation?

[Solo Christo]

Lois Wrote:Solo,
I would like if you could possibly keep in mind that this is a Christian forum not an EU forum.

The EU forum is also a Christian forum.

Lois Wrote:I don't appreciate you putting your EU twist on things throughout the forum.You have your own EU forum to disseminate your beliefs in.

Yesterday you told me that you & Vic wanted me to “keep the dialog in the open forum”, and that “there are many other threads in the forum to post on”. I’m simply trying to comply and have been careful to:
- only post on existing topics
- make sure my comments engage with what others have written
- not quote 3rd parties
- not to link
- not to try to sell books
- use KJV where possible or specify translation

Furthermore, of the posts I did yesterday, 5 out of 7 had nothing to do with EU & made no mention of it!

I Wrote:Specifically regarding being lost in a permanent sense, then obviously I'd say "no", because the Bible (e.g. 1Cor 15:28) promises that no one will reject God's love forever, that eventually God will be everything to everyone (all in all).

Lois Wrote:The bible does not say this,"because the Bible (e.g. 1Cor 15:28) promises that no one will reject God's love forever, that eventually God will be everything to everyone (all in all)."

Some Christians, including Early Church Fathers, believe that’s a perfectly reasonable interpretation of 1Cor 15:28, otherwise in what sense is God “all in all” in someone who hates Him in hell??

Lois Wrote:You mistakenly think this is an open forum of which you may use to disseminate your EU beliefs.

Yesterday you said it was an “open forum”.

Lois Wrote:This is Vic's website,her forum.She has a statement of faith and rules for her forum.

Yes, I’ve acknowledged that all along, which is why I’ve obeyed her rules as best I could.

Lois Wrote:This is a Christian forum.We adhere to the bible as being the word of God and not just the words of translators.

I also believe the Bible is the Word of God, which is why I want to make sure translators are translating it correctly (which, praise God, they appear to be doing most of the time).

Lois Wrote:You don't have to agree with the forums statement of faith but you do have to follow the rules, which you have not been doing.

Which bit of the statement of faith do you think I disagree with?? Where have I broken the rules??

Lois Wrote:A quote from the forum rules:

Quote:Blasphemy will not be tolerated. Those not of the Christian faith are welcome to become members but, need to keep it very clearly in their mind that derogatory remarks about God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit, in any language, are not to be used as expletives or interjections or in an abusive, mocking, or insulting way . The same for hate based remarks about Christianity. It is solely at the admin discretion to not only delete those types of things, but possibly permanently ban the poster, with or without warnings. That goes also for any filth concerning the Bible. If you don't believe it, then please ask questions, but be aware that we believe the Bible to be the Word of God and it is not to be taken lightly. We also believe it is the standard to which we weigh beliefs, doctrines, ideas and behaviors.

As far as I know I’ve haven’t said anything filthy, especially not about the Bible (the Word of God) that I hold as critically important.

We have zero tolerance for solicitation of commercial products, porn, etc. We want members to feel they can enjoy their stay, not have to be hounded by spammers.

I trust Vic will let me know if she believes I’m spamming. However, as I said above, 5 out of 7 had nothing to do with EU. When I did post about EU it was in response to other people’s posts about Universalism, so I don’t think that’s spamming.

I've already reminded him of the forum rules which I know he has posted that he finds restrctive and some unnecessary. And that's fine. Don't worry about what's posted. I plan to respond and address these issues.

Unfortunately unexpected out of town company visited yesterday keeping me from posting then, and unexpected visit from family arriving shortly will keep me from posting as I had hoped, today. Best laid plans and all that...Sorry for the delays but I will be addressing things.

PLease to all, no more personal attacks, keep to the topic of threads where possible. Thank you.

Thanks Vic, no probs about delay, it’s more important that you spend quality time with your unexpected company
