I suspect you're applying the OSAS circular reasoning again--saved people can't go to the lake of fire, therefore, those who are being warned...
You do realize that I suspect the same of you, right? You asked me to show your circular reasoning to you earlier. I did and it upset you.
Here it is relative to The Word to Smyrna:
1. Do you think
saved people go to the LoF? If so, how so because it's an oxymoron? Do you think
once-saved people go to the LoF? If so, show me the Biblical example of just such a person described in Rev 2 preferably since you brought it up.
2. Where do you find "warning(s)" in this Rev 2 prophesy? As always, Jesus simply stated the facts. In this case, some present facts in Smyrna and future facts.
I don't find:
I warn you that;
The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches ELSE you become unsaved.
Or
I warn you that;
The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death ELSE you become unsaved.
Or certainly not;
I warn you that;
Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. ELSE you become unsaved
Or certainly not;
I warn you to
;
Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will experience affliction ten days
ELSE you become unsaved.
Or even;
I warn you;
Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
ELSE you become unsaved
But that's simply the difference between the way I study Scripture and they way you post about it circularly. If Jesus had said "I warn you to be
faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life ELSE you will loss the salvation I gave you in the first place, you'd have a Biblical case. One you'd need to reconcile with Jesus knowing His own though (past, present and future). And you'd need to show an example of it occurring, preferably. I know of to many Biblical cases where saved people did not have the full faith in God they should have, yet God disciplined them in love anyway. Moses being just one of many examples.
As it stands now, however, you keep making a circular case and false accusations about the OSAS case.
As for why I'm even discussing Rev 2 in the first place:
May I ask, "What is it about the second death that you don't understand?"
"Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.'" (Revelation 2: NASB)
Why do you take away the part about the second death in this passage?
You do realize that the reason we are even talking about Rev 2 is that you made the above post, right? It was a misrepresentation of my position. A position I think is Biblical and you've yet to show is not. And will never do through false accusations such as the one above or that OSAS is an attempt to build a "license to sin".
I assumed you think there's anti-OSAS content in Rev 2:10-11, somewhere. That's why you falsely accused me of not understanding the second death in that verse.
If you would STOP posting false accusations against me or OSAS positions for that matter, this thread would be a lot more productive and we would not be wasting time with your multiple false accusations, like the one above.
Again, your posts like the one above have entertainment value, but as to any logical proof of anti-OSAS, there's nothing to them.
