1) There are verses in the Bible which support "eternal security"
2) There are verses which contradict #1
But...
I think you misread me for the third time! If you believe anything but eternal security, the Bible contradicts what you believe. If you believe in eternal security, the Bible does not contradict what you believe. I don't know how else to say it.
quote:
So confessing belief isn't enough?
If I tell someone I love them, but I don't act like it, I should question wether or not I love them. This is a very simple issue, there is no reason to drag it on like this.
quote:
Despite the overwhelming evidence of extensive editing? ah.... faith. You are right, there is no amount of fact that can shake good old blind faith.
Quite a claim. Zero support. Kinda like "If you have anything to add to the bible-has-been-edited topic, please say so. If you're going to quote the same old anti-Bible propaganda from deceitful, blind and lost men, save both of us the time and don't bother."

quote:
I am not misreading. I am pointing out that your logic is flawed.
You said I said the following three things:
#1 Verses in the Bible support ES
#2 Verses in the Bible contradict #1
#3 No verses in the Bible contradict
Obviously those three statements contradict each other, but I never said #2. So yes, you are definitely misreading.
quote:
uhhh.... you mean like the notes of the people who actually did the editing? We have those, in some cases.
Pay attention to word choice. If you're going to say the Bible has overwhelming evidence of extensive editing: Define your Terms and show Evidence; not generalizations. "We have notes in some cases," is very obscure and could mean anything.
