Hello,
First of all, i want to excuse my English for the case it might be weak, it's not my mother tongue.
I'm also new to Reformated theology so my question might be very stupid. I searched this Subforum and didn't found anything related to this, so I started this thread here.
Matthew 18,6
"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
For me that sounded like it would possible that a sheep can be mislead by someone else and renounce (At leastin the German version, It might sound a bit different in the KJ-translation) but that would contradict with the doctrine of the Preseverance. Or did Jesus just meant those who followed him but did not belong to the elects?
Greetings
