Many good people think they cannot. Dr. Gray, head of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, criticised Pastor Russell for teaching that men may fall even after sanctified and be lost. What sayeth the scriptures? “When the righteous turn away from his righteousness, and do as the wicked doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness he hath done shall not be remem bered, (taken into account) in his sin he hath sinned shall he die.”—Ezek. 18:24. Observation: All men die the common—Adamic—death, hence the above has reference to the “Second Death” as in Rev, 20: 6, 14, “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death. ” “Return un to the Lord thy God for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. I will heal their backslidings and love them freely, ” “If they re turn,” “repent and do the first works.” —Hos. 14:1-4; Rev. 2:5. Can they fall away and be lost forever? Let Paul answer— “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, were made partakers o f the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God and the power of the world to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance.” Heb. 6:4-6. Again “If we sin wilfully, af ter we have received the know ledge of the truth, there remain eth no more sacrifice for sin.” Heb. 10:26. Could anything be plainer or more positively stated? The above shows we may not only fall from grace, but go down so far we cannot get back. Jesus confirms Paul’s testimo ny, “Whatsoever speaketh aga-l inst, or blasphemes against the j Holy Ghost, shall not be forgiv en in this world, nor the world to come.” Matt. 12:31, 32. Judas by transgression fell ■ Acts 1:25. How could he have fallen had he not been converted? | Judas was one of the twelve, i chosen by the Lord, and com missioned to preach, cast out; devils, heal the sick, etc., would! Jesus have commissioned him to preach, if not converted? St. John and Luke make it plain “and after the sop, Satan entered unto him.” St, John 13:; 27; Luke 22:3. The devil enter ed into Judas just as he does in-1 to Christians in this day. He fell and was lost eternally and so may we if we do not watch and pray for it is “he that is faithfulj to the END, that shall be sav- j ed.” Jesus said “While I was with them, (the disciples) in the world, I kept them, and none of them is lost, but the Son of Per dition” (Judas)—John 17:12. Paul: "Looking diligently lest! any man fail of the grace of God, as Esau; who for one morsel of meat sold his birth right. For ye know how afterwards, when he would inherit the blessing, he j found no place of repentance, tho he sought it carefully with tears.” Heb. 12:15-17. The lesson Paul is teaching is, if Esau could lose his birthright according to the flesh. The Christian may also lose his, to the kingdom of God. “Our joint heirship with Christ to the king dom” depends on our faithful ness “to the end.” Matt. 10:22, 24:13; Mark 13:13; Heb. 3:6, 14.; Some contend the spirit of man | after conversion does not sin, but the body sins every day. Paul says, “Every sin that a man doeth, is without the body.” 1st Cor. 6:18. Therefore sin is not the act itself, but the consent of the mind. An idiot cannot sin. An insane person cannot sin, because not responsible be ings; they can do wrong, evil, but sin is not imputed unless the wrong-doing is done wilfully and knowingly. Jesus said, “whosoever look eth on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matt. 5:28. “As he thinketh in his heart so is he. ” Sin is not in the act, but in the heart; the consent of the will. Paul: “And I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body, (the body) mind you be preserved, (not Jpickled) blameless, (how long?) unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1st Thess. 5:23. Body, soul and spirit takes in the WHOLE MAN, “blameless unto the coming of the Lord.” “Amen, so come Lord Jesus.” -W. J. Davis. Strayed or Stolen. Dark brown, Jersey cow.
