Yeah, I know it's weird to comment on one's own post, but this is to clarify something. There have been questions about falling off the bridge. Here is the answer I gave, followed by a couple more ideas on the matter:
"There is NO falling. That is the beauty of it. We may regress, but we never fall. The bridge holds US up. We all fear of falling, but no one ever does. Falling is only a scary story some people tell to puff up their bravado or scare others to hold on more tightly (which, by the way, is to miss the point)."
Yes, I'm one of those "once saved, always saved" people. This is why: Salvation, although a choice by us, is the work of God; and "what God has joined together, let no man put asunder."
Here is where a natural analogy falls short of adequately depicting the full nature of God who is, in fact, supernatural. God created all things to portray His glory and to provide clues to who He is and of His nature. However, a finite world which is based on the laws of time and space can never fully express the glory of the One who transcends such things.
Maybe you read the post and thought, "what if the bridge breaks." Well, to ask such is to question the integrity of the bridge. This is not wise. In case you missed the analogy, the bridge is symbolic of Christ. Even in our daily walk, we walk in Christ (through Christ, via Christ; whatever). The integrity of Christ has been questioned many times but never tarnished. Besides, who are we as sinners to question the integrity of Holy God. Let this not be.
