 Hey guys, I want to take the time and kind of point out to you guys a glaring contradiction that people who believe that You can be saved today and not tomorrow through Some sort of working of your own whether you call it one saved always save eternal security Perseverance of the Saints preservation of the Saints whatever terminology that you want to use We know we're talking about people who are saved today and aren't tomorrow people who can know Christ today and walk away Well, there's an argument that's made that is so contradictory and for whatever reason does not get Fully vetted no one talks about I want to bring that up When we talk about election and predestination as a reason why a person cannot lose their salvation cannot forfeit eternal security is Because God chose them from the very beginning. Well, one of the arguments that people make many of them make No one seems to really give me the pushback on this in comparison to something else. They say Now before I go to this argument though Keep in mind that you'll often hear them bring up over and over and over again not often But always at some point in time if you let them talk long enough They'll tell you that a person's name can be blotted out of the book of life They'll reference passages that aren't even talking about the book of life But I'm talking about the book of living another way of putting it they can die That's what God asked how God refers to it in the Old Testament, but let's just say their point is correct Now I want you to follow me if their contention is correct that you can have your name blotted out of the book of life meaning God wrote a person's name in the book of life for salvation This person will have their name blotted out because of sin Because of iniquity and so God will blot their name out in other words I know metaphorically speaking God writes their name then comes back and He raises their name. Are you with me? That's what they believe that a person can have their name blotted out. Well Let's see if that's not contradictory in something else. They believe in Romans 8 29 We talk about how God had predestined some he elected he chose and I want to read it And then let's cover their arguments It says for those whom he foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son in order that he might be the first born among many brothers now their view is that God looked throughout history and Saw that these people are going to choose him and they take this word foreknew Which by the way is a misunderstanding of the word that he knew ahead of time what they were going to do He knew that they were going to choose him And so for that reason on that basis God elects him God Predestined him which nullifies that word for predestined in the first place Also the point of election they missed that but let's just say they're right Let's say on both counts. They are correct God looks throughout time and sees who is going to choose him and Those are the people whom he predestines those are the people whom he elects. Okay, you with me Take that and compare it to someone having their name blotted out. If you look at it, you'll notice something a Contradiction that cannot be how is it that God sees what you are going to do that? You're going to choose him and then because of that he elects you he predestines you Then he can somehow come back and blot your name out. Are you with me? God looks through history sees that you are going to choose him And so he writes your name in the book in the book of life But then your actions causes because of sin Causes him to come back and to blot your name out Well, then how could that be after he saw that because you chose him He chooses you writes your name down But he doesn't see far enough to see that you're also going to deny him walk away And so he has come back and he has to blot your name out God what's going on? What's happening Lord you didn't is it that your omniscience is limited you can only see but so far you can see when they choose you But you don't see far enough to know that they're also going to reject you There's the contradiction guys it can't both of those cannot be true that he foreknows who's going to choose him and So thus he writes their name in the book of life and Then further they are going to reject them and so he comes back and blots their name out How then did he elect anyone? There's a contradiction, which is another reason why the belief that a person who can forfeit their salvation through their own sin Walk away, whatever terminology you want to use. That's the that's the lunacy. That's the Contradiction of it. That's how unbiblical that stance is. Amen
