Once Saved, Always Saved

My oponent has failed to refute any of my assertions. He is not arguing against what I am supporting in this debate. He needs to refute my points in his final argument or I will have clearly won the debate. >> I'm entertained to hear that you expected an inter-Christian debate. I'm glad to know that non-Christians are basically chopped liver to you. Feel free to post that as a requirement in your next debate, it wasn't a requirement here. << Perhaps you didn't read my opening argument. You must have just saw a Christianity-oriented debate and jumped at the chance to further argue against Christianity in order to make you feel better about not believe in Christ. Atheism is just a way for a person to feel in control, when in fact life is fully under the constraint of God's will. Here's my opening argument again. Actually read it this time: >> The Bible teaches that once a person truly comes to know Christ, they will not be denied their salvation. This is a fundamental Christian belief. << I clearly stated that the Bible teaches eternal security. NOTHING was mentioned about salvation through Christ being the only way. My debate is whether or not one can lose their salvation after they have been saved through what the Bible teaches. Your job would therefore be to prove that the Bible doesn't teach eternal security. We can have a debate on the validity of Scripture another time, but it is unnecessary to talk about it right now. I think you have no idea how to refute my position except by screaming "nonsense!" How absurd of you to think that every time I have a debate, I'm required to want equally to debate a Christian or a non-Christian. I've debated Christians and non-Christians, and for this particular debate, I just expected a Christian from another denomination (such as a Methodist) to came and argue in favor of falling from grace. I'm glad you know so much about the Bible and care to discuss it. I immediately embraced the idea of debating you, however I felt like expressing my surprise, that's all. You failed to rebut any of my scripture references, after I tediously read through all the passages you supplied, many of which were irrelevant to the argument. Anybody who reads the open argument of this debate will clearly see that the debate is about whether or not the Bible teaches that once a person is saved, they're always saved. Please prove to me that the Bible teaches otherwise, after explaining the numerous verses that clearly back up my belief. >> I wonder, would you prefer Jesus have not died for your sins? If you'd prefer your salvation, how far would you go? Would you nail him up yourself if it means you'd spend eternity in paradise? << I'm so eternally thankful that Jesus willingly died for my sins as well as for all the sins of the elect. There was no other way to do it, and Jesus has ZERO regrets for doing what He did. I'm sure you and I both would do anything for those we love. And He is LOVE, and He loves us all unconditionally so the choice was obvious for Him. Wouldn't you die for you best friend, for your mom, for everyone you know, if it meant saving them all. And anyways, He knew full well (the whole omniscient thing) that He'd rise again in three days, defeating death. God's plan for Salvation is the most beautiful thing in history, everyone Jesus saves are eternally, inexpressibly grateful. Your job is to prove that Jesus' redeeming grace can someone be removed from a person, that they could be un-regenerated and un-indwelt. The Bible communicates that this is impossible. Again, here are some of the verses you need to explain as you failed to explain them last time: John 10:27-29. No man can pluck them out of my Father's hand. Romans 8:35-39 NOTHING can separate us from God. Romans 11:29 God's calling is irrevocable. John 6:37-39 I shall not cast any out. Ephesians 1:13-14 We are sealed with the Holy Spirit, now possessions of God. Jude 1:24-25 God keeps us from stumbling away. 1 Peter 1:3-5 Our salvation can never perish, spoil, or fade. Once again, your job is to prove that the BIBLE does not teach eternal security.
