Good post and point. I know that I want to follow Jesus, but sometimes I stumble and hope that He will forgive me for those stumbles.
And you statement of “There is a big difference between falling in a temptation and choosing to walk away from God.” is very clear and what I think is correct, for I trust that Jesus believes His gift of salvation is forever and will NEVER be terminated by Him or His Father.
I don’t know where my trust falls in Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox dogma/doctrine, but it is what sustains me and keeps me going toward Him.
Thanks for the ping and your comments at post # 105. As to the question of “once saved, always saved,” that is above my pay grade. I believe the Lord decides who is and isn’t saved.
