Watchman

Take King Solomon for example. The second wisest man to ever live. (Jesus was the first) If anyone had a clear perception of what God expected, it was Solomon. We see that the king fell off and backslid and lived for worldly desires. I do not believe God condemned Solomon to hell, God will always accept a repentant heart. His mercy and love endures forever.

However, in heaven Solomon will have much less riches as compared to David who was a faithful servant to the LORD.

Although I have stated this case for Solomon, i do not believe in the doctrine, "Once saved always saved". As Christ said, "If a tree does not bear good fruit, it will be cut down and thrown into the flames"

1. Psalm 71:6
   Yes, you have been with me from birth;from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.No wonder I am always praising you!

2. Psalm 139:13
   You made all the delicate, inner parts of my bodyand knit me together in my mother’s womb.
   Psalm 139:12-14 (in Context) Psalm 139 (Whole Chapter)
3. Psalm 139:15
   You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

4. Ecclesiastes 11:5
   Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
   Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 (in Context) Ecclesiastes 11 (Whole Chapter)

He knows the future, He knows your future, He knows the END from the BEgiining...

SO He knows your heart as well, He understand humankind...

To sin willfully, is spitting in God's face and then expecting His Blessings...

However, He knows human weakness like in the sins of David and knew David, and forgave him...

But the Laws of God are still in place in that we will reap what we sow even if God forgives us as David who lost his son by Bathsheba...It's BEST not to TEST God... He knows the END from the Beginning ... We Don't...

Hope this helps

Forgive me, but I did not read through the whole thread - however, I cannot help but wonder why we worry about 'sinning'?

Let's be honest, we are sinners saved by grace. We will sin.

We need to focus of following the example of Christ and His teachings. Matthew 5-7.

Let's focus not on what we can "get away with", but focus on what we are to do.

On what basis will God reject people? Are we to live under the Law or under Grace?

I would argue that we are already condemned - it is the Grace of God through Jesus Christ that saves us.

Christ came to fulfill the Law so that those who have been accepted by God are no longer condemned by the Law.
