| Feb 26 at 20:37 | comment | added | C. Stroud | Nigel J You mention "consequences". If consequences are warnings, not predictions, then "everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning but he who was born of God protects him", 1 John 5:18 then may not that protection include the grace to heed warnings. | |

| Feb 26 at 20:30 | comment | added | Topological Sort | The answer lies in what the Greek says. In Greek, does the verb for "go on sinning" imply something that's happening, may happen, or isn't happening? Like in English "if I'm talking"; "if I leave now"; or "if I'm the King of England"? We need a Greek scholar to tell us. | |
| Feb 26 at 20:08 | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | Understood C. Stroud but a warning is only as strong as it is true. If the warning entails ending up in eternal fire, but it’s not possible to end up in eternal fire then it’s no warning at all, is it now? Be careful you don’t fall into the pool of water covered by a thick piece of impenetrable glass. At that point you could dance over the water cause you’ll never fall in. Be careful you don’t go on sinning lest you end up in the pit of fire covered by eternal security. The point is the condition and inclination of the heart. Is one’s heart inclined toward sanctification or toward sin | |
| Feb 26 at 19:06 | comment | added | C. Stroud | @Nihil Sine Deo I see what you call "inapplicable consequences" as warnings. And saved people as people who, in part, are saved because they are given the grace to heed warnings. | |
| Feb 26 at 18:57 | comment | added | Nigel J | Why would you think it to be 'hypothetical' ? 'If we do this, then such will be the consequences' is not hypothetical, it is a real warning not to do it. | |
| Feb 26 at 18:35 | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | If it were merely a hypothetical and not a genuine reality, why follow it with a bunch of inapplicable consequences. To what end would the rest of the sentence matter? This hypothetical is seemingly forcing a theological pre-commitment | |
