Satan is still up to his old FUD tricks today. The following causes much FUD for Christians. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
Many today teach such doctrine.
On the face of it, it would appear so. In looking at these passages, we must look at the whole counsel of God, not just these two, in order to make our case. Let's deal with the passage in Peter first. To take just these verses is a critical mistake. Chapter two starts out with a warning about false teachers, with the thought continuing throughout the chapter.
