The verse I like the most of the verses on salvation in Hebrews against Calvinists is Hebrews 5:9<br /><br />And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who OBEY HIM<br /><br />Obedience rules out their imputation nonsense. People like White argue stuff like this is "descriptive" not "conscriptive" as if that changes anything!

I'm stunned how often the refuse to analyze words in an open and honest fashion, but it's no surprise that God's Word has a built-in anti-tampering code to it, where if you twist this or that, you'll trap and expose yourself. <br /><br />This 'made perfect' language goes along with that of Hebrews 7:25,<br />"25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."<br /><br />While it says "save to the uttermost," the second half of the verse explains this in terms of Christ's continuous intercession, which is impossible if this 'saving to the uttermost' is a one-time imputation.<br /><br />Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.com
