When Jesus told the woman to go and "sin no more" and the Apostle Paul told the church " You are responsible for your own salvation", these two instances might put a little crimp into the idea of permanency. And to answer the 3:16 folks, better look real close at 3:5.
When you read John 3:16 keep reading through 21. You will find out where your condemnation comes from. Deeds (works) that come from seeing the light. 21. '' but he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds (works) may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
