⚠️ "Once Saved, Always Saved" is a Lie! Why Not Everyone Will Make It (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a powerful and urgent theological challenge, directly refuting the Protestant doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved" (often referred to as eternal security or perseverance of the saints). He emphasizes that Christ came for "many," not "all," and that salvation is contingent on perseverance and works.

The Problem with "Always Saved":
Christ Came For Many (0:02): Father Beard notes that the scripture says Christ came to save "many," implying that not everybody will make it.

A License to Sin? (0:11): He challenges the core logic of the doctrine: If all you have to do is say "Jesus Christ is Lord" and then you can continue to "sleep around, kill, murder, cheat," then what is the point of the Christian life?

Held Accountable (0:19): He cites the words of St. Paul, who said there will come a day when God will judge us for "both our good and evil," and we will be held accountable for what we did with our body. Why would St. Paul say this if salvation were guaranteed regardless of one's actions?

The Narrow Path (0:29): He uses powerful Old Testament examples of judgment to illustrate the narrowness of the path to salvation: Only two out of a million made it to the Promised Land, and only eight were saved on Noah's Ark.

Our faith is true, but it requires more than a one-time declaration. It demands perseverance and accountability for our actions.
