It's no surprise to me that many people reach a point where they decide that as hell is inevitable, they might as well do what they will.

I myself was fortunate to come to the conclusion that either God was in fact the horrible being I had come to see Him as (in which case I wanted no part of him) or that I in fact had no idea who God was at all (in which case I needed to change my focus from trying to attain perfection through works, and instead focus on that search).
So do you believe in OSAS or just really hard to lose salvation?

What would your thoughts be of.

1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Joh 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.

among a few...

Either you are faithful or not. Pretty simple!
