Bonhoeffer says yes. He brings up the example of Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of Jesus\u2019s original 12 disciples. As recorded in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+10%3A1-8&amp;version=KJV\">Matthew 10:1-8<\/a>, Judas even preached the gospel and performed miracles according to Christ\u2019s command (along with the other disciples). But in the end, Judas betrayed Jesus and therefore lost his salvation. If Judas could fall away from discipleship, presumably we also can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonhoeffer goes on to cite passages such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Galatians+5%3A19-21&amp;version=KJV\">Galatians 5:19-21<\/a>, which admonish the church against certain sins, such as fornication and idolatry, and assert that God will not allow people who commit these sins into Heaven. According to Bonhoeffer, these sins can be forgiven only at the time a person is initially baptized, and a person can be baptized only once. So, if a man <em>who has already been baptized<\/em> commits fornication (for example), then he will face inevitable damnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Controversy Over Loss of Salvation and Categories of Sin<\/strong><br><br>Bonhoeffer\u2019s assertion that disciples who commit certain sins will face unavoidable damnation is at odds with most mainstream Christian teachings. To illustrate this, let\u2019s compare how different churches classify sins with regard to their effect on your salvation.<br><br>The Roman Catholic church teaches that sins can be forgiven through the sacrament of confession, by which a sinner confesses their sins to a priest, who acts as a conduit to Jesus, who forgives them. The church distinguishes between \u201cmortal sins\u201d that are punishable by eternal damnation, and \u201cvenial sins\u201d which are not. This distinction resembles Bonhoeffer\u2019s, but where Bonhoeffer asserts that mortal sins can be forgiven only when a disciple is initially baptized, the Catholic church teaches that even <a href=\"https:\/\/catholicstraightanswers.com\/what-is-the-difference-between-mortal-and-venial-sin\/\">mortal sins can be forgiven<\/a> through the sacrament of confession.<br><br>Meanwhile, many Protestant churches reject Bonhoeffer\u2019s idea that certain sins are more serious than others. They teach, in effect, that <a href=\"https:\/\/thelife.com\/god-doesnt-grade-on-a-curve\"><em>all<\/em> sins are mortal sins<\/a>, but also that <em>all<\/em> sins can be forgiven through faith in Christ. They base the perspective that all sins are spiritually equal on verses such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+5%3A21-22&amp;version=KJV\">Matthew 5:21-22<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+5%3A27-28&amp;version=KJV\">Matthew 5:27-28<\/a>, where Christ compares anger to murder and lust to adultery.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Calvinism\">John Calvin,<\/a> one of the most influential theologians of the Protestant Reformation, also taught that it was impossible for any true believer to fall away from Christ. In his view, Christ (who knows the future) specifically atoned for every sin that each of his future followers would ever commit when he died on the cross. As such, these people are destined for salvation. Clearly, this contradicts Bonhoeffer\u2019s view that a disciple can fall away from Christ.<br><br>Where Bonhoeffer presents Judas as a disciple who fell away, Calvinists argue that Judas was never <em>truly <\/em>a disciple\u2014he played the part and looked like a disciple on the outside, but he did so out of self-interest or other ulterior motives, and he eventually showed his true colors when he betrayed Christ.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can a Christian lose their salvation?
