In this episode we take an in depth look at several passages of the Bible which are sometimes misunderstood to describe a Christian that falls away and loses his salvation, and we try to explain what God is really trying to tell us by these passages. Be warned though, what we discover salvation really is, may not be what you have always accepted; but remember, “the truth shall set you free”. _________________________ If you would like to take advantage of the free offer from Audible.com to get your free 14 day trial and download your free audiobook, you can do so by clicking here: <a href="http://www.audiblepodcast.com/thewholetruth"> http://www.audiblepodcast.com/thewholetruth </a> _________________________ The Music used in this episode can be downloaded from Music Alley… <a href="http://www.musicalley.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=58d43eb974f99c9bd20d24831ae6e323">Sweet Holy Spirit – By CLC Bandfeat</a> <a href="http://www.musicalley.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=69d11e5cb1d3e03cbbd78e16349bddcf">Flame – By Wahba</a> <a href="http://www.musicalley.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=c062150d3d8ee9075993ffb5d0e61500">Impossibly Beautiful – By Bree Noble</a> The idea that a Christian can lose his or her salvation has been a point of debate for scholars and theologians for centuries and has been a stumblingblock for many Christians also.

As always though, through biblical exposition, we not only expose the untruths, but we expose “The Whole Truth” that love should be the distinguishing characteristic of any Christian, along with faith in God, and hope in our redemption.

We begin by discuss the physics behind time, then we move into some philosophical elements of time; then we go on to discuss a Theological view of time. Finally, we take all of the aspects of time that we discussed, and contemplate the implications of time and what it means for us as Christians.

With the debut of the new movie 2012 in theaters, there is sure to be some future sensationalism concerning the fear of a Biblical Apocalypse in 2012, and we feel it is especially important for these next 2 years to be informed on the facts. We discuss the scientific evidence, Biblical prophecy, and other sources to draw a conclusion about this supposed cataclysmic event.
