What about the Christian guy I know of that went on a softball team trip to Yakima and while carousing with the rest of the team they were at a pizza place where there was this drop dead gorgious girl that all the guys were gawking at.
Except him. He loved his wife and ignored this woman.
In the end, he slept with her that night. Apparently his initial lack of interest is what made him the desirable conquest to this woman.
As soon as he met his wife at Seatac airport after the trip, he told her what happened and apologized. I assume they are still married to this day.
What he did was “willful”. Is he lost?
I guess the real question is, is there really an end to seven times seventy?
Hebrews 10:26-31 is very true...
It ties right back to and supports 1 Cor 3: 10-15 as the judgement is automatic in that if you are impure, you cannot stand to be near the Light of God that creates the “fire” while it is cleansing souls.
The great lie told by satan is that the “fire will kill you.” Many souls are even afraid of the fire... But the greatest fire is in Heaven where sin cannot exist. To those who are pure, they do not perceive it as fire, but only as Light. Even the lower levels of the Holy Spirit create fear in anyone holding onto sin.
The old custom of burning witches at the stake was a test as if they were full of the Holy Spirit the fire would not harm them.
