SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - XXVI by Evangelist Samuel A. Matthews Vernal church of Christ Evangelist Matthews, Can a Christian so sin as to be eternally lost; or once a person is saved can he ever fall from grace? The doctrine that a child of God cannot so sin as to be eternally lost is not a new doctrine by any means. It is even spoken of in the Bible. It was preached by the serpent in the Garden of Eden; he is the author of it and first preached it to Adam and Eve. God said that in the day they ate of the forbidden fruit they would die. In contradiction, the subtle serpent said, "Yc shall not surely die" (Gen 3:4). In current language, Satan was saying, "You shall not be condemned because it is impossible for you to fall and be lost" A child of God can so sin as to be eternally lost! 2 Pet 1:10 says there are things for the Christian to do to keep from falling (vs 5-9). This unmistakably implies that if one docs not do these things he will fall. The Corinthian Christians were admonished to take heed lest they fall (1 Cor 10:12). If one cannot fall, why was this command given? A Christian can so sin as to be eternally lost, because he can so sin as to be in a worse condition than he was before he became a Christian (2 Pet 2:20-22). The apostle Paul knew it was possible for him to be lost; and to prevent it, he buffeted his body (1 Cor 9:27). A child of God can quit believing, and when he docs he will start falling (Hcb 3:12). The Galatians were taught that a christian can fall from grace (Gal 5:4). In attempting to be justified by the law of Moses they became guilty of a complete apostasy. Not only is it possible for Christians to fall but in this instance it actually happened, even though men say it is impossible. NOTE: 1) Man is saved by grace (Eph 2:8). 2) A Christian may fall away from Jeff Williams Williams called to California mission Elder Jeff Williams, son of Priscilla Williams, and foster son of Gene and Lynell Anfinson, has been called to serve two years in the California San Bernadino Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will speak in the Glincs Third Ward sacrament meeting on Sunday, Aug. 16 at 2:15 p.m. Elder Williams will enter the Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Veterans officer plans Basin visit Veterans in need of assistance with the Veterans Administration may visit with F. E. Martinez, Department Service Officer of the Disabled American Veterans when he comes to Vernal August 19. Mr. Martinez may assist with requests re-quests for compensation, pension, medical treatment, VA home loan defaults, and education. He will also assist any veteran or widow of a veteran in answering correspondence correspon-dence or completing forms from the Veterans Administration. The DAV representative will be at the following locations on the following fol-lowing dates and times: Roosevelt, Aug. 19, 1992, Job Service from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Vernal, Aug. 19, 1992, Job Service from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m." Ft. Duchesne, Aug. 20, 1992, Administration Building from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. grace (Gal 5:4). 3) Therefore, a Christian may be lost. The parable of the sower emphatically refutes the doctrine of the impossibility of apostasy (Matt 13:3-8, 18-23; Luke 8:4-15). The stony and thorny ground Christians failed to produce fruit. Their appointed lot is to be "cast into the fire" as recorded in Matthew 7: 19. A child of God can be lost because he can lie, and die in that state (Acts 5). The fate of those who die in that condition is seen in Rev 21:8: "...all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burncth with fire..." Paul said that men would apostatize or fall away from the faith (1 Tim 4:1-3), and their fate of "damnation" is seen in 1 Tim 5:12. The parable of the vine and the branches is more proof that a branch in the vine, a Christian, can be burned (John 15:1-6). We also learn from the parable of the talents that a servant of the Lord can be lost (Matt 25:14-30). Jesus even said that His angels would gather certain ones out of His kingdom and cast them into the furnace of fire (Matt 13:41-42). Many more passages could be cited, but think about this: If a child of God cannot be lost, the devil is a fool. He has been laboring for about 6,000 years to damn the souls of the children of God; and if he has never succeeded in damning the soul of just one child of God, he is a simpleton for continuing. Lord willing, next week we'll examine some of the "proof texts" used by those who teach this false doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved." Please, search the Scriptures and see whether these things are so (Acts 17:11). Send all questions or comments to: P.O. Box 231, Vernal or call 781-0914 to leave a recorded message.

Nelson DC, a chiropractic chiro-practic practitioner in the Vernal area, recently participated in a milestone mile-stone research project for the chiropractic chiro-practic profession. Dr. Nelson was among the approximate ap-proximate 10 percent of the nation's licensed chiropractors who represented repre-sented their profession by providing information for a Survey of Chiropractic Practice. Working in conjunction with state licensing board members, educators, educa-tors, and field practitioners, the survey sur-vey was developed and conducted by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE). The NBCE is the international testing test-ing agency for chiropractic health care. The NBCE project was undertaken undertak-en to define the tasks, duties and professional responsibilities common com-mon to licensed U.S. chiropractors. The resulting Report of Chiropractic Practice in the United States will have numerous applications applica-tions in chiropractic testing and other oth-er areas. Similar surveys developed by the NBCE have to date also been provided pro-vided upon request to the chiropractic chiroprac-tic regulatory boards in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
