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.
God's Word is Truth Forever. The woman at the well had not yet come to a saving relationship with Jesus and had a long line of mistakes that God did not condone. The Lord most certainly knows our hearts, and she had not done that which solidifies her salvation yet. However, once the woman went back into her village and told her fellow Samaritans what she had heard the Lord say and they went for themselves to see Him, begged him to stay with them and the Lord did stay two days and many Samaritans' were saved. Because she believed after she heard the Lord and went back and told others. This is what the scriptures tell us to do.
You had better look real close at the whole Bible, because Satan has a hold on you. You will need to cast him out to let the Lord in. But you are not alone. So many on here are in the same boat.
Since when is NOT sinning in the best interests of Satan?
1st John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
We ALL have sinned and are still sinning. Jesus told us our thoughts qualify as sinning. This is why He has to die on the cross so His blood could cover those sins. For those who believe that is what He did and are not afraid to tell that to others, we are saved. Those who cannot do that simple thing are not saved until they find that truth and incorporate it into their life. Nor does it have to be a perfect life as you seem to believe yours is. There is no perfection on this earth. But we will be made to be perfect when we leave it. That is the Grace of God.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
