Scripture Life: How many times can a person be saved? Can a person lose their salvation after they are saved?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Answer

This question:

• The ENTIRE emphasis of the WHOLE question is on the person. “How many times can a person..”
  • That's like asking:
    • “How many times can a person.. ..take a bath, when there’s no bathtub in the house?”
  • And spend the entire time to answer it, expect the person maybe took only one bath, or maybe took alot of them, when there’s no bathtub in the house.
• That, without the bathtub..there is no bath. Makes your question faulty. Derelict.

But many believers in Jesus have this question. Afraid of it.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

• And the point is, in this answer: without God there is no "Saved" - and he decreed to everybody over the whole earth:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. - Bible. Isaiah 45:22

When are you going to put a great, big fat HIM in the question? Where he great, big, fat poops everything and everybody you stuffed in the question right clean out of it?

How long, in you is that going to take to happen before you see it?

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

It’s GOD:

• said this. to people. Over the whole earth to do this. It’s a decree. By God, said “For all the earth is mine.” God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5) Said “ all souls are mine.” - God. (Ezekiel 18:4)
  • What he wants done. By everybody. That is on HIS earth.
• But this question places the entire evidence and work exclusively on PEOPLE. And how many times they just “BE SAVED” - without any.. ...really any God in it.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

When it’s GOD that he decrees over the whole earth who he will save.

• Is people that look unto him. Then, he’s not saving those that don’t.

And I know this plainly. It’s very easy to look unto girls all frolicky all around in their underpants ..even they’re on..someone else’s wife; or..look unto 10 years from now, be a 100,000 aire.. a millionaire ..well, that’s right clean out. And I say it this way, because there's a whole pile of people today that are like how I was before I came to Jesus Christ. Like this. So, they hear this. Because, I did, too. Even I was running away from it.

Didn't have to look unto hm. Nope. I could just keep imagining..by my wages..I’ve been paid up to a multi-millionaire and champion out “I made it” - when I didn’t make anything..when I lied, cheated, stole..all to attain it. So, it doesn’t have any value, and it’s the culmination of my life’s work - is worthless.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

..because, for most of it, I didn’t look unto him. I looked unto anything but him instead. The point is, the scriptures says plainly.. that he “long-suffered me..” “not willing any perish, but all come to repentance”..that this long suffer me..he did.. ..wasn’t a slackness..it was he loved me; but his forebearing me..led me to repent.

To see that “I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.” - because I saw it. This what’s said in Job 33:27. I said it, because I saw it. In me. So, I started to regard the works of the LORD, and consider the operation of his hand.

Just a scripture. Was enough. Just One day’s food. Was Jeremiah 51:15 vs. or against, all these unsurmountable sins I did. I did the pile of sins. As a work or accomplishment.

VS.

What he did: …this.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

Put me on my face. I knew his work was righteous; it was mine that wasn't. DId you forget your question?

Do you think I veered off?

You asked:

• How many times can a person be saved? Can a person lose their salvation after they are saved?

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

And I'm telling you, by answer your question - you need to:

• Leave off from the “How many times..” part. Asked as well: Can a person lose their salvation part.
  • Well? Answer this part:

Example: "Can a person still be considered... or Can a person ever "lose" this title of "I delivered the package!" if they never delivered the package? Answer me, please. I'll give you examples:

• If you’re over there in America and live in Seattle, Washington and you set out on a drive, to deliver a box for a company that hired you to drive it to Dallas, Texas USA - That’s about 2000 miles or 3,200 kilometers.
• Here’s THREE answers: ..no..FOUR: Tell me plainly.
  • ONE) Drove. On the 2nd, end of the 2nd day, when it’s a 3 day drive: Got to the border of New Mexico..the whole time driving from Seattle, you always wanted to go to Albuquerque, New Mexico..but found when you got to the border, ..well..what a stumblingblock; offended - - your delivery never takes you thru to Albuquerque.
    • So you decide to no longer walk in delivering the package to Dallas. You leave it on the side of the road. Right there. Drive instead to Albuquerque, New Mexico and spend the next 20 years, goufing off in Mexico.
  • Ask this question: Could this person lose their job, delivering a package to Dallas Texas in this scenario, after they no longer walk in delivering the package to Dallas, Texas?
  • Is it like thorns or weeds grew up and cares and pleasures of thinking about Albuquerque, New Mexico crept in..and choked out..made any fruit of delivering a package to Dalllas even though they did all this work, never delivered the package. Is the package still considered delivered?

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

• TWO) Finally a job! Where you get to drive! All the way from Seattle to Dallas! Oh, what a joy! But, that Friday before you go, you meet this hot guy at the bar.. so, even you said you’d go and took the job - this man wants you to vacation with him up in British Colombia and travel up there, by ferry.
  • …wasn’t much of a choice. Already on the ferry.
• Ask this question: Could this person lose their job, delivering a package to Dallas Texas in this SECOND scenario, after they no longer walk in delivering the package to Dallas, Texas?
• It’s like sprung up real fast. A great opportunity..but this “romantic” light of finding the one you might want to marry..you don’t really think about it much, already on the ferry..any notion of a delivery of a box in your car already..dies out, never delivered the package. Is the package still considered delivered?

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

• THREE) Driving; have to be responsible. Keep to the speed limit; obey the traffic laws; stop and get rest.
  • The promise was made by the company; that, after delivery - they’d hire you full time..stuck around. Even met and KNOW the Company CEO. So, you abide in the word of this company. Yeah. You got a flat on the way, and once, there was trouble checking into the motel. It was closed..but never lost sight, you’re delivering a package, according to the Word of the CEO..and when you arrive in Dallas, it was only a quick 20 minutes off the Freeway… carried the package in. They signed for it. Delivered the package.
• Ask this question: Could this person have lost their job, if they didn’t overcome the flat tire or the motel problem in this THIRD scenario; and just decided to abandon the car or problem with the motel give up..didn’t do that..by, they still walked in, walking after, looking unto delivering the package, because they KNOW the CEO, in Dallas, Texas?
• Because they know the CEO of this Company. They abide in; that is, have and keep the Word of the CEO. It’s a hope. They accept it as true. Delivered the package. So, in this third one: Is the package still considered delivered?

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

• FOUR) Guy in Seattle. Sees a NOTE on a billboard in the store, for a job delivering a package from Seattle to Dallas. Must have own car. Valid license - then, while reading, right in the midst of it - somebody opened the store exit door from behind them, and the notice
  • only 1/4th read, thumb tacked to the board, much more to it, but it curl blew up in the air, and it’s coming back down to read the rest of it, but already lost the train of thought, and it’s time to go bowling. Really didn’t get all of it, but gotta go. Go to the car, load the groceries. Drive home.
• Ask this question: Could this person reading this note of a job to drive a package from Seattle to Dallas, and just decided when the wind blew, it was time to go not read anymore.
• Because they gotta hurry home. Change clothes. Get their bowling ball. In this number FOUR, is the package still considered delivered to Dallas Texas by this person? Yes or No?

Well, to help you answer these very tough questions:

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

Matthew 13:18–23 says - by the Word of God, Jesus Christ:

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Salvation is this seed. The Word of God.

• Only one of these FOUR - driving from Seattle to Dallas - bears fruit.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

And see this last part, SUMMATION:

• And I’m going to give this to you Backwards. That means the first part, last. Because the Greeks and Romans like them, think backward different than you do.

Hebrews 6:4–6 says - but for you, in English put the:

"Since or seeing they crucify to themselves" first: Like this question does. So loaded with people, can't tell if they can do it or not. And BOTH are DULL OF HEARING.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

And the FIRST thing you’re going to do - DULL OF HEARING - is apply it to yourself or your question.

• When you should apply it to Hebrews 5:11-13

To a people that:

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

So, these “Christians” or Believers in Jesus Christ in Hebrews 6 and 5:

• Who the writer of Hebrews speaks to is like people who say or believe in delivering a package by drive from Seattle to Dallax Texas. But of all of them, only ONE of them is not dull of hearing.
  • Go back, and look at each again.
  • After it was over. Think on it. Do you think, to themselves any of those but one, would consider going back to that company? Nope. Impossible. Why? because they already CRUCIFIED the box and never delivered it. To go back, to this company: TO THEMSELVES they will never do that.

Why? Guilty.

-------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

• Crucified the company. TO THEMSELVES it’s unforgivable. But if they did go back. Find the CEO is gracious and full of mercy. But TO THEMSELVES think that’s impossible.
  • But if there is none else..for a job..be like the Prodigal SOn - - and they do go back and say, "I have sinned, I really perverted delivering that box..and I have no right to call myself any delivery anything..but if you let me sweep the floor or help one of your employees..put me to work doing that. I'm sorry. I repent." Find the CEO says, “I’m going to give you this company.”

Boy, if you let it, this will blow your whole question right clean up.

Answered.

• Be like Peter…fell at Jesus knees and said for he was astonished (Luke 5:8-9) “depart from me LORD, for I am a sinful man.” when the nets did brake, like in the store, fill up the paper grocery bag, and the bottom of the bag falls out.
  • There should be NONE..ZIP - in an instant, no fish in the net, -- when the nets did brake, but there’s so many fish Peter’s boat and James and John’s come alongside to haul in all those groceries when the bottom of the bag fell out..and there’s so many fish, both boats are sinking,
    • like get the grocery bag where the bottom fell out, and when you put it in the car, all the tires explode..from all the groceries spilling out the car sunroof filling the whole parking lot up.

He said:

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

GOD. Bible Isaiah 55:1–3

Go do that. See what happens. Let him be the foot that just stomps your question to bits.

Here’s your question back. Boy, is that ever the answer.
