[Church_of_Christ] Re: Something To Think About
Dear Lawrence, ED respectfully,
Lawrence: Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one (John 10:27-30).
ED: Thank you for clearing up the "cross over"; someheimers. I agree with Jn 10 completely, but I disagree with your interpretation of it. Jesus' sheep follow him. They know to follow him by listening to his voice - "hear". As long as they are following, there is no one who can pluck them from the Father's hand. On the other hand, Paul told the Corinthians they were behaving carnally. Had they continued to pursue that course and quit following Jesus, they would have removed themselves from being a part of those who enjoy the promise. The passages are so numerous warning sheep to stay faithful and exposing sheep that have lost their promise that I do not feel the need to list them.
