Lambs book of life

[Larry 2]

Revelation 3:5 "... and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life..."

The implication is that there are conditions where Jesus will blot out names... He obviously does have an eraser.

The key here is given as those who overcome, and how do we do that?

I reckon that I should have given the whole verse. Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

I just find it amusing that there are those who see GOD looking down through time and space, sees someone make a choice for JESUS, but does not see them unchoose JESUS so that HE would have to erase the name that was written in a book sealed before the foundations of the Earth.

Could it be that those who "choose" to walk away or un-choose Jesus never had him in the first place. Perhaps their name was never written in the Lamb's Book of Life? Couldn't it be that if one chooses Christ with all their heart, soul and mind, one who gives up his life for Christ, cannot walk away from Him?

Then this should really amuse you:

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. (You can't pluck yourself out either)

John 10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. (Notice in this verse that we have been given to Jesus by our Father)

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (We were given to Jesus and we did come to Him, and He will not cast us out for any reason regardless of our failures)

Both of those posts I disagree with 100%

Just so you know that there are both sides to this issue.

OK, while I was typing a post was added that would have made the above post more confusing.

We are choosen before creation by GOD for HIS purpose in accordance with HIS will and once you are in HIS hand HE will in no-wise let you go. HE will always do what is best for you if you like it or not and that includes keeping you saved and sealed until the day of redemption.

Unless you turn away from your salvation. He is not about to override our will.

It will always amaze me that you think GOD does not care enough about you to keep you saved.

We have a responsibility to obey God. That is what proves our heart condition before Him. He looks on the heart eben though we can fool men. He tells us that we will not enter the Kingdom of heaven if we are not obedient. His words, not mine.

It always amazes me that you think that a person that doesn't care about God enough to remain Jesus' disciple expects to be found worthy of heaven.

Why wouild Jesus have the option to "blot out", then? He doesn't talk about things He cannot do.

seems to me that one that does not care about God enough to remain Jesus' disciple, never really was Jesus' disciple to begin with.

And God knows who they are. Many are merely religious people. However there are those who know God intimately, yet walk away purposely. It behooves us to be sure we know Jesus Christ and obey Him.

Matthew 7:21-27

“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

Building on a Solid Foundation

“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

he does not have a blot out option, he told us what he would never do "I will never blot out his name". this does not sound like an option to me

He has a blot capability, obviously.
