 | Did Adam have eternal security before he sinned?
(Also, check out Col 1:21-23. Notice that continued salvation depends
on continued faith.)

| Epirus with good success. Why not, as well as haymaking and
milking?"
The European marriage laws treat the woman as the equal of the man, in
other words, proceed on an incorrect assumption. In our monogamic
continent marriage means to halve one's rights and to double one's
duties. When the laws conceded equal rights to women with men, they
ought to have endowed them with a male reason. The more, however, the
rights and honours which the law concedes to the woman outweigh the
natural proportion, by so much the more do they diminish the number of
women who really participate in these privileges, and take from all the
rest so much of their natural rights as they have given the others in
excess of them. For with the unnaturally privileged position which the
monogamic institution and the marriage laws connected with it impart to
the woman (inasmuch as they regard the woman throughout as the full
equivalent of the man, which she in no respect is), prudent and
judicious men are very often cautious in making so gr

| Eternal security? Only by choosing to do Gods will are we secure.
Adam and Eve were "Very good", they could not die (Death had not yet entered
the world) but they could fall.... and fall they did.
Until they ate of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil they would
live perpetually. If they chose to eat of the Tree of Life then that would
grant them immortality and they would have passed the test.... the Angels
would then make sure they didnt turn around and disobey God. Incidentaly I
believe they could only have eaten of that tree by choosing not to eat of
the other tree... It doesnt say that, but it would fit very well with the
lessons God has given us.
But until they sinned they would live perpetually. But they were not
incorruptable.... sinning would corrupt them.

| mother called to tell her that she would answer any questions that she
had about pregnancy. She felt most enthusiastically about her school
guidance counsellor because he had, you know, just listened to her
"spill her guts" and hadn't tried to, you know, make her feel bad. At no
time, needless to say, did the word "think" cross her lips. There is, of
course, no need for her to think. The taxpayers of Canada will pay for
all of her baby's needs. She didn't need to be made to feel bad. All
that she needed was someone to direct her to the appropriate agency. The
rest of it was just paperwork. It's a free country, isn't it?
That means you can do whatever you want.
Doesn't it?
Unbidden, the image of the Cerebus Theatre swam to the surface of Viktor
Davis' awareness. He turned away from his typewriter and allowed the
picture to coalesce in his mind's eye.
The Cerebus readership was there, composed in some (small? large?)
measure of females with their male housepets. He squinted, endeavouring
to see if any male was chafing at the invisible conduits and
metaphorical tubing which drained his life, his essence, his energy as
surely and as effectively as any fictional vampire. Cats' eyes gleamed
in the darkness, filled with malice. A couple of rows back an obese
brunette was stripping away chunks of brain tissue from a thin, pale
youth with a spotted face. His head lolled against his shoulder in her
direction, his face radiant with ecstasy. He turned to her, his eyes
half-lidded. He smiled and mouthed, "I love you." She smiled back at
him, indulgently. His eyes closed once more. She stuck out her sandpaper
tongue, dotted with brains and blood, in Viktor Davis' direction and
then cackled loudly. The youth giggled quietly to himself.
To the far left, in the front row, the white hu
