ArchivedOnce saved always saved?Forgive me for the intrusion, please I'm not a Biblical expert, but I've heard (basically) the same thing before. I know it's a *little* bit off topic, but I think it's close enough for government work When I left the Christian faith, I did so knowing that according to Christian Dogma it was wrong. Does that make me an Apostate? The reason I have to ask, is that for me, the Pagan path opened my eyes and my heart. It opened my mind to experience beautiful wonderful things that I had never experienced as a Christian. My lifestyle has not changed much - I'm an occasional drinker, a smoker (which I'd like to quit simply for the health benefits), and if anything I'm more honest and caring than I was as a Christian. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't the Christian faith that made me less caring - it was that the Pagan path taught me things that Christianity could not. I'm a believer in that good people will get what's coming to them, regardless of faith. I realize that this goes against the Bible, however I'm counting on the God/dess(s) being understanding enough to know who and what I am. Whoah...way off-topic...sorry... My question is: If leaving the Christian faith "knowing it's wrong" makes you an Apostate - what is it if you leave the Christian faith "knowing that it's right"? |
