written in the book at Baptism, of course, but if you think that you are not free to erase it, you are sadly mistaken.
want to join ISIS because you have a spirit of adventure?, want to have sex with that girl who is nor your wife?, want to help yourself to the merchandise in my store?,
the book of life, as you describe it has certain requirements in order to remain in it. Yes, Jesus died to atone for our sins, but He certainly expects us to clean up our acts.
salvation is a gift...a gift that we are free to refuse at any time and many do. Remember, maany are called but FEW ARE CHOSEN...be careful with that book of life thing..
>> “written in the book at Baptism...” <<
.
Bad Joke!
Try “Written at the foundation of the worlds.”
But scripture says that names can be taken out!
“the book of life, as you describe it has certain requirements in order to remain in it.”
“Sealed.” The Spirit did it. I believe it.
“I will lose none.” Christ said it. I believe it.
“That you may KNOW you have eternal life.” God said it. I believe it.
“Yes, Jesus died to atone for our sins, but He certainly expects us to clean up our acts.”
The life of Christ is evident in those who have believing faith.
“I do care, and am thankful, that my name has been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. It cannot be erased.”
Your answer partially: “written in the book at Baptism, of course”
Christians are written in Jesus’ [Lamb’s] Book of Life.
If Catholics wish to not participate in wanting their names to be in the Book of Life, and be written in a book at Baptism instead, no problem.
We prefer the Biblical path.
...want to have sex with that girl who is nor your wife?
Blame Mary...
