No la. I have not ignored ALL your Bible comments/opinions.

I have ignored a few of your Bible comments/opinions for various reasons, eg because they were false accusations that I believe in justification for salvation by works. Eg, .......

If you think your works and effort sustains your salvation, and thats your reward.. then you are not doing enough.. Jesus has clearly said
Matthew 5:17," Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
Jesus was here to fulfil the law, that no man be JUDGED by works/LAW but only by Faith and Grace.

But in your persistence to do good.. you're not good enough..
Matthew 5:20,"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Acts 4:12,"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Acts 16:30,31,"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
So, was it Believe and DO GOOD WORKS? Believe and CONTINUE TO DO GOOD WORKS?
NO!
the ONLY word was BELIEVE!
Acts 16:34,"And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house."

ONLY BELIEVE!!

2 Timothy 1:9,"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS!!
NO!!!

So, if you so strongly believe your works can sustain your salvation, are you saying 2 Timothy 1:9 is CONDITIONAL?  is NOT COMPLETE?
NO!!
The Bible DOES NOT CONTRADICT itself..

your understanding is MUST be Bible based

"Your above self-set pre-condition added to our Bible discussion is like the Pharisees and Jews not allowing Jesus Christ to have His apostles/disciples accompanying Him and bear witness to His ministry of salvation through His atoning blood shed on the Cross. IOW,it's like they only allowed Jesus Christ to speak/comment/opine alone."

Thank God the wolf have shown his skin.. and thank you for re-sharing the replies I have posted.
Funny it feels like only from the last few replies when I have shake my dust of my feet at your doorstep, you become less repetitive.. and have more to reply.. So take some time.. go back to pg49.. READ the bible verses I replied you with.. UNDERSTAND it.. and REFLECT on your mistakes.. 
the ones you quoted here me.. and ALL the replies you ignored.. were consistently made of 2 segments
1. To answer the verses you used.. WITH THE BIBLE
2. To ask you to use ONLY the BIBLE.. and read it.. unfortunately as a Baptist.. you tend to filter and ignore sound doctrine..
Any layman would have the same conclusion on your disillusioned mind where you put assumptions and blasphemy..
Reflect and repent..

Hebrews 4:12,"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

And thank you for replying exactly what i've been consistently saying in ALL my replies.
"Fyi, I have been posting Bible commentaries/opinions by other mature Christians via links at RWI without any complaints from other posters there, eg from atheists, Buddhists, Christians, etc. Your complaint is the first."
2 Timothy 4:3,4,"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
See the pattern? 'Commentaries? Opinions?' of.. 'MATURE' Christians????
Turning away from the TRUTH Aka BIBLE?
Turned into fables?? Aka fiction/stories to enforce truth/precept? all this are dictionary definitions btw.. go fact check it..
Bible has made it very clear for your harderned heart. 

1 John 4:1,"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
2 Peter 2:1,"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
2 Corinthians 11:13," For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."
Good luck in hearing your pastors over the BIBLE..
The fact you seek acknowledgement from PEOPLE? from other RELIGIONS??? not the BIBLE?? 
2 Corinthians 6:14,"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
1 Timothy 6:3,"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;"
1 Timothy 6:4,"He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,"
1 Timothy 6:5,"Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."
I dont know about RWI, but shame on the thread if no sound Biblical doctrine and Bible verses are being discussed, but rather OPINIONS and COMMENTARIES!! 
I don't care if it's even Martin Luther, but if he cant preach from the BIBLE, and he preaches against what the BIBLE says.. he's a FALSE APOSTLE for all I care.. And that's what the BIBLE SAYS!
*
.
Again, your false (demonic) accusations, and also abusing the Bible to fit your own narrative/opinion against others. .......

REVELATION.12:10 = 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. ...

12 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”


Btw, what is your comment/opinion on the false doctrine of "Once saved, always saved" or OSAS, which 'unknown warrior' taught.?

but you have nothing but tons and tons of opinions and commentaries
*
.
= to me, a few of your Bible comments/opinions (per page) are from ignorance, hence should be ignored.

Let's compare why you ignored my Bible comment/opinion that strongly disproved your false (demonic) and presumptuous Bible comment/opinion that "true" Christians can never ever lose the indwelling Holy Spirit = can never ever be demon-possessed = can never ever lose faith in Christ or lose salvation.
....... Those who have such a false belief often speak as if they are like God and/or are Omni-present and Omniscient, eg like they can time travel between OT and NT times and have the eyes of God - see 2THESS.2:1-12 = The Great Apostasy.

https://www.gotquestions.org/lose-the-Holy-Spirit.html - Can You Lose The Holy Spirit?
.... Acts 2 describes the transition from the Old Testament economy to the New as it pertains to the Holy Spirit. The disciples were gathered for prayer, waiting for the promise of the Father, in obedience to Jesus (John 14:26; Acts 1:4, 8). As they prayed, the Holy Spirit fell upon them all and filled them (verse 3–4). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit came upon all who had trusted in Christ. That outpouring resulted in courage in the face of opposition, love for all humanity, and supernatural gifts and abilities to further the gospel (1 Corinthians 12:4; Hebrews 2:4). ...

2TIMOTHY.1: = 13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
.
GALATIANS.3:2 = 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

= The Holy Spirit is received by Christians by faith in Christ.
.

MATTHEW.10: = 32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

= cf: Peter denied Christ 3X (= he lost faith) before the cock crowed.  The resurrected Jesus Christ had to "re-save" Peter by appearing to him after he had fled back to being a fisherman in his hometown.
.

REVELATION.20: = Satan Bound 1,000 years ...

The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years ....

Satanic Rebellion Crushed

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.


= 1THESSALONIANS.4:16-17 prophesied the 2nd Coming of the Lord/God Jesus Christ to earth when He will destroy all unbelievers on earth after rapturing living Christians and resurrecting dead/asleep Christians.

Jesus will then create a new earth to rule over the Christians in peace for 1,000 years - the Millennial Kingdom.

REVELATION.20 above prophesy that some of these millennial Christians will be deceived by Satan at the end of the 1,000 years, eg because of complacency, forgetfulness, temptations, false teachings/doctrines of demons, demonic impersonation, etc = the raptured/resurrected Christians will lose faith in Christ = will lose the Holy Spirit.

So, if even millennial Christians can somehow lose faith in Christ (= lose the Holy Spirit) through Satan's/demons' deception, so too can today's true Christians lose the Holy Spirit by losing faith in Christ or denying/renouncing the faith, departing from the faith, etc. Correct.?
.

P S - REVELATION.13:11-18 & 14:9 prophesy the powerful world governments will be mandating everyone to receive the mark-of-the-beast (computer chip implants.?), in order to buy or sell stuffs. Will even true Christians receive this mark = will lose salvation because they lose faith in Christ = will also lose the Holy Spirit.?

This will be a "sequel" to how most of the apostles of Christ were martyred for not obeying the Imperial decree to worship the Roman Emperor or his statue as God - MATTHEW.24:15.

I agree.. all the miracles by Jesus and the disciples are real..and has a record..
but despite that , we should be mindful Bible never say God cant do miracles...
If God willing, miracles MAY happen.. just that.. for the churches to somewhat commercialize it is a shame..
*
.
I agree 75%.
.
Bible history says that God's miracles, signs and wonders "exploded" during the time of Moses and Joshua when the nation of Judah and God's Law got established but after that they became rare or only happened once in a blue moon.
....... Similarly, God's miracles, signs and wonders "exploded" during the time of Jesus Christ and His apostles when God's salvation unto the kingdom of heaven got established and after that they became rare.

So,the "explosion of miracles" of Pentecostalism and neo-Pentecostalism/Charismatics from the early 1900 onward, are not biblical or not godly. They are demonic.?
.

P S - Like how the Agong and POTUS can pardon reformed convicted criminals suffering in prison, God/Jesus has the power/authority to forgive the intentional sins of repentant sinners suffering the curses of God by miraculously healing or exorcising them. The miraculously healing of non-sinners (eg who were borned deformed or crippled) by Jesus does not disprove this fact, eg the Agong can also do charity to non-prisoners.

Just dropping by, and checking out the madness from the past few pages.
I'm mostly familiar with the points of debates/questioning that apologist usually answers(Frank Turek, Cliff Knecthle, William Lane Craig). But shit....some of the questions asked are so insane, its actually good if youre trolling. If not, my man, get some serious medical help. Also, seek knowledge outside of your own church, community, with all the "flavors" out there, the chance of you getting the pure version is pretty low (unless you researched and experienced tons of churches).
*
.
Fyi, Christ's miracles were treated as demonic by the scribes/Pharisees and, His comments/opinions and teachings were treated as madness also by His own family, eg by His "biological" brother-James who later falsely taught that justification for salvation from hell is by faith+works, eg "a man is justified by works and not by faith only" + "faith without works is dead" + "Were Abraham and Rahab not justified by works.?" . .......

MARK.3: (NKJV) = 21 But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.”

22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.” ...

All were BIBLE VERSES! Lols.. comments? Opinions? you need a dictionary.. those verses are self explanatory even without me putting words..
Still.. all ignored.. reasons its the BIBLE? highlight which is an opinion or comment? Let's see them together if its truly a 'comment' as you so claim.

Please see in the LIST OF IGNORANCE you have.. and re-read them ..
When you quoted this, I told you none says you lose the Holy Spirit. YOU OPINONATED SO! and for your benefit (in case you lack understanding and reading), please dont ignore the verses YOU YOURSELF shared

Did it say you lose the Holy Spirit?
John 14:26, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"

Did it say you lose the Holy Spirit?
Acts 1:4,"And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me."
Acts 1:8,"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Did it say you lose the Holy Spirit?
1 Corinthians 12:4,"Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit"
Hebrews 2:4,"God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?"

Don't get me wrong. I agree that's the HOLY SPIRIT.. what I think you're delusional, is you copy and paste, and come to your own conclusions without even READING the verses!

2 Timothy 1:13? I told you and explained to you already. Did you read? nevermind, ill reshare it..
(To your question of 'Why Fear?', READ IT, its not an OPINION.. its the BIBLE!)
2 Timothy 1:7,8,"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;"
(READ IT! What did the Bible say? its English so im not going to define the words cos its self explanatory.)
2 Timothy 1:9,"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
UNDERSTAND PLEASE! "....which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began"
Did it say you lose the Holy Spirit?
You are already CHOSEN ! and as usual, cherry picking the bible and not reading it entirely..
2 Timothy 1:13,14,"Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us."
What does it say?
Hold fast the form of sound words
committed unto thee
keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us

So you wanna add a .. YOU LOSE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT? your OPINION? your DOCTRINE????
Matthew 10:32
My goodness.. why do you keep IGNORING the BIBLE?
Go look at item 10 on the IGNORANCES..
MATTHEW 10:32,".. DENY.."
Deny = arnēsomai = ἀρνήσομαι
Hello? ITS THE BIBLE! ITS THE ORIGINAL GREEK LANGUAGE!!
and ἀρνήσομαι or arnēsomai, or back in the KJV times the word DENY, is DISOWN!
HELLO? BIBLE!! Its like you referring to a dictionary.. not an opinion.. yours is.. this is FACT..
Revelation 20, 1 Thesallonians 4:16-17.
I told you.. NATIONS! you call them as CHRISTIANS.. and say they lose faith?
Who's putting in words into the Bible..

Revelations 13:11-18, 14:9,
Mark of the beast. wont be saved. thats a FACT..
Bible didnt mention saved Christians would receive the mark.. thats ALSO a FACT..
Matthew 24:15,"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"
This will be a "sequel" to how most of the apostles of Christ were martyred for not obeying the Imperial decree to worship the Roman Emperor or his statue as God - MATTHEW.24:15.
This.. is YOUR OPINION.. "how most of the apostles of Christ "

Blasphemy.
Disciples asking Jesus about end of the world
Matthew 24:3," And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
Context of the end of world type of people
Matthew 24:11,"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."
Hope for PEOPLE to be saved; Still didnt mention losing of faith FYI..
Matthew 24:13,"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
Who it was preached to!
Matthew 24:14,"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
Matthew 24:15,"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"

So you have effectively reworded Matthew 24:14?  suddenly ,"...in all the world..." becomes CHRISTIANS?
Matthew 24:15 is talking about the world..  WHOSO READETH, LET HIM UNDERSTAND.. READ  ! PLEASE !

My opinions are also based on the Bible. The difference between our opinions is which of our opinion is more in line with the Word of God/Jesus or Bible. Eg, which one of us is misinterpreting, misquoting, quoting out-of-context or misusing the Bible.?

As I said, if the BIBLE ALONE, is not enough for you..and opinions are your flavours, then all the best to you.
Proverbs 18:2 ,"A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself."
2 Timothy 3:16,"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
Matthew 4:4,"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
In Jesus' ministry and approach, COUNTLESS TIMES, Jesus quoted the WORD of God Which was the old testament.
I will still ignore opinions that has no word of God /biblical basis.

Very interesting you quote Proverbs 11:14. Dont ignore Proverbs 11:9,"An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered." KNOWLEDGE! The WORD OF GOD! NOT OPINIONS
and if you lack understanding of Proverbs 11:14,"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety."
Counsellors.. THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD! NOT OPINIONS..


If your opinions are biblically based, show me the verses and i show you your lack of understanding.
1PETER.1:3-5
So technically you are saying 1 Peter 1: v3 is addressed to one group of people? and suddenly v4 is to a DIFFERENT group?
If this is how you understand the Bible, then it explains why you dont understand it.

1 Corinthians 15:
Have you actually READ IT?
1 Corinthians 15:2,"By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain."
1 Corinthians 15:50,"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
V49?,"And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
V53?,"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

You quote these verses but event in NKJV, have you read and understood it?
we SHALL BE CHANGED!.. SHALL BE!! Thats why in v50, we CANT inherit the kingdom of God UNTIL we be changed!

so the question to you is, do you have confidence in your faith? Can you show from the Bible you are saved?
Ephesians 3:12,"In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him."
What kind of faith do you have if you think you can work your way to heaven?

....... Jesus the Word (JOHN.1:1 & 14) = Counselor =/= Counselors.

The Bible often refers to counselors as people who could be good or evil counselors, ... and often refers to God's Law as good counsel.

Got la. UW falsely stated James was not referring to justification for salvation from hell when James said, "a man is justified by works and not by faith only",  "Abraham and Rahab were justified by works" - "faith without works is dead"., even though UW disagreed with James and agreed with Paul that justification for salvation is solely by faith in Christ.
....... Hence, UW still viewed James as teaching truth, ie do good works to be blessed/rewarded by God, eg with a good and long life on earth, as per the OT's DEUTERONOMY.28.

UW also taught the doctrine of "Once Saved Always Saved" or OSAS, which is likely a presumptuous and false doctrine or teaching, eg as if UW has the eyes of God and Omni-present or can time travel, similar to your apostate view about how Abraham or other OT saints was saved from hell by his faith in God, .......

February 1, 2019

Religious Reflections

CAMDEN — By Rod Halliburton

The doctrine of “once saved, always saved” teaches that it is not possible for a child of God to sin in such a way that he will be lost. Many people, who undoubtedly are very sincere and possess a desire to do what is right, find tremendous comfort in this doctrine. This doctrine, however, is not taught in the Bible. It is an erroneous doctrine that provides a false comfort and a deceitful feeling of security.

First, let’s examine some of the passages often used to support this doctrine. Concerning the Christians in Asia Minor, Peter wrote “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (I Peter 1:5).

How is it that Christians are kept, or guarded, unto salvation? Through their faith! It is possible for a Christian to lose his faith and quit believing in God. The author of the book of Hebrews warned his readers against the sin of unbelief (Hebrews 3:12). Don’t overlook the fact that the author was writing to people who were already Christians! ...

No la. I believe even saints or "true" Christians can lose faith = lose salvation if they are over-confident, not sober, vigilant, careful, wary, etc. And if such were to then dabble in the occult, they can become demon-possessed or demon-oppressed like King Saul.
.
1CORINTHIANS.9:27 = 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
.
.
HEBREWS.3: = 12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. ...
.
If saints or "true" Christians do not or cannot lose salvation by losing faith in Christ, why did the apostle Paul warn them about unbelief or losing belief/faith/trust in God or in Jesus Christ.?
.

2PETER.1: = 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;  ...


= "true" Christians can stumble and lose their salvation/election by not diligently doing the good works that are the fruits of faith in Christ. .......

12 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

I guess not
Like all the Bible verses you ignored..

Please continue to elaborate.. how does the word “counsellors” become an opinion?

Did you forget I quoted the Bible and there are also “evil counsellors?”

My advice to you.. is put down your pride..

At times I go with the wise counsel of "Agree to Disagree" wrt our Bible comments/opinions, ie I ignore further discussion on that matter = this does not mean my or your comment/opinion is right or correct or biblical/scriptural. Let other readers judge for themselves and let God/Jesus be the final judge.

Eg a convicted murderer is the guilty one, not the court judge who imposes the death penalty on him/her, in the name of justice for the murder victim/s and family. .......

Here lies the danger..
When you reference John 17:6-12, do you understand it?
Again let me repeat your 'believe' and as a result, the 'interpretation'.
Your believe is YOU CAN LOSE YOUR FAITH, HENCE YOUR SALVATION
Your interpretation is from this is.. CHRISTIANS FALL OUT OF GRACE, AND HENCE NOT SAVED
I do not argue that yes, all this are in reference of TRULY SAVED CHRISTIANS.. nothing suggest otherwise..

The Message from the verse

John 17:11,12,"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."
You were chosen, God's choice,"...thou hast given me.."
Fulfilling the prophecy ,"...none of them is lost, but the son of perdition"
Wait...was there a verse that mention losing salvation somewhere there? Let me know if you see it.. do share 

John 17:20,"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;"
Praying for NEW believers,".....which shall believe on me through their word"

Please explain from the verses you shared, which part of it contradicts John 10:28-29?
That you will LOSE YOUR SALVATION???

True Believers.. YES!! JAMES SAID SO!! I clearly state my point when i explained JAMES.
*
The main point here is you misinterpreting the Bible verse at JOHN.10:28-29.

I wont go into the details of your understanding for each of those verses yet..
but to remind you on the definition of KRIMA..
I have also cross checked all 'damnations' or 'Krima'.. it is indeed as defined below..
- Judgement/judgementS
- condemnation of wrong (severe or mild)


Due to that, there's a need to read 1 Timothy 5 to understand the 'Krima', and Romans 13:2, for what their 'Krima' is.
But one thing is clear, Krima as shown in Romans 2:2 clearly shows the example Krima is used for JUDGEMENT.. not HELL

Romans 2:2 ,"But we are sure that the judgment (κρίμα/Krima) of God is according to truth against them which commit such things."
1 Corinthians 6:7,"Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law (κρίμα/Krima) one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?"

Bible DO NOT contradict itself..
"...For this cause,.....weak... sickly among you.. sleep.."

Hope that clarifies your understanding on DAMNATION and KRIMA
*
.
I agree with your interpretation of "damnation or judgment" in 1CORINTHIANS.11:29-30. Proof verse, .......

1JOHN.5:16-17 = 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

Sins not leading to death = the judgment or curse of God can be weakness or sickness.

Sins leading to death = sleep.
.

Bonus Bible verses, .......

1COR.5: = Immorality Defiles The Church

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. ...
.

Immorality Must Be Judged

9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”


= the above sinner-brother/sister should be excommunicated from the Church. Who knows, maybe he/she will repent after suffering the judgment/curses of God = may still be saved from hell as long as he/she has faith in Christ until death/sleep.

As shown by cross-referencing JOHN.17:6-12, the Bible verses at JOHN.10:28-29 is referring to Christ's apostles, not to ALL Christians/believers or sheep. So, you are misusing the Bible verse at JOHN.10:28-29 to back up your false doctrine of ALL Christians/believers being "Once Saved, Always Saved",  ".eternal life;...neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand...no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
------> (in case your opinions/comments is WHAT IF GOD/JESUS is the one that PLUCK IT OUT?)" and "true" Christians do not sin = "Once Saved, Always Saved", as per your false assertion of "And to your question of sinning Christians losing salvation..  1 John 3:9"

Are you confused? Not to SHEEP?
Read John 10:27," My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
THEY! = Sheep!
And subsequently John 10:28,"And I give unto them eternal life.."
THEM!!
Conclusion - Obviously your claims are FALSE. Cos you conveniently change John 10:28 to suit your own understanding, with NO BIBLE VERSES OR EXPLANATION

Again, the "sheep" at JOHN.10:27 needs to be cross-referenced to MATTHEW.10:16 & 26:31 and JOHN.10:15-16 to correctly interpret the "sheep" as referring to the apostles, and not misinterpret it as referring to other Christians/believers who came into faith in Christ after the apostles, esp Gentile Christians like you and me. .......
.
MATTHEW.10: (NKJV) = The Twelve Apostles

Sending Out The Twelve

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.



MATTHEW.26: = Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:

‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’


32 But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”

34 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And so said all the disciples.


JOHN.10: = 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep . 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Your style of CROSS-REFERENCING and CHERRY PICKING
Matthew 10:16
You took the word sheep, and assumed it for apostles..
and Only looked at Matthew 10:16 when Jesus told the apostles they are sheep in the midst of wolves..
indeed the apostles are sheep, cos they believed..
But DONT IGNORE..
Matthew 10:6 ,"But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
so if we use your 'sheep' assumption, are you trying to say LOST APOSTLES of the house of Israel ?
NO RIGHT?
cos from the very start , you planted the idea its ONLY for the apostles.. Bible did not say so.
V16 is merely sheep looking for sheep ...

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.

Who were the "you" referred to.?

In context, the "you" was Jesus Christ referring to the Twelve apostles, not to the "lost sheep" of Israel (early Jewish Christians were lost sheep who later got found) or the "other sheep" or Gentile Christians.
.

QUOTE((zanness)
Matthew 26:31
Why are you referencing an Old Testament? and not dwell into it ?
This is from Zechariah 13:7,"Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones."
And Jesus is quoting it , not to say the disciples are sheep.. but in fulfilling the prophecy, and is referring to EVERYONE
And you wanna say im misinterpreting it?
Look what Peter said to back this fact..
Matthew 26:33,"Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended."
"ALL MEN.. "
Evidence and proof Jesus in v31, "...All ye shall be offended.."

"‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ ...
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.” ...
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples."


By your warped logic, you are falsely saying that every sheep or Christian/believer have and will be scattered or stumble and deny Christ, as in MATTHEW.26:31-35.?
.

QUOTE((zanness)
so again I ask you, where in the Bible does it say sheep is ONLY apostles???
You cant find it cos its not true..
AGAIN , the Bible SHOWS YOU WHO IS THE SHEEP
Matthew 10:7,"Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
Matthew 10:9, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Mind you this is the SAME DOOR... and the BIBLE clearly telling you... "......by me if any man..."
Hello.. ANY MAN.. NOT APOSTLES!!

Dont go saying these are opinions cos all of the above are merely words i take from the Bible..
Your claim apostles are sheeps, THATS an opinion cos no where in the Bible is it said so...

Why you ignore my above Bible quote about "other sheep" which refers to later Gentile Christians, ie not referring to Christ's apostles who were Jewish Christians.?

Chronology of those who came to faith in Christ:

The apostles (= sheep) ---> early Jewish Christians (= lost sheep but later found) ---> Gentile Christians (= other sheep, eg converted by apostle Paul)

Did the Bible say otherwise?
What did the Bible say about this?

I know churches who see it as if it transformed into the real body and real blood of the Lord, another Catholic practice and tradition that came after the Protestant..
Good thing is, the BIBLE is the one source of truth and all can be explained from the Bible itself..

The Protestant Lutherans of Martin Luther's era kept the Roman Catholic tradition of transubstantiation in the Mass or Holy Communion, besides infant baptism, etc.

Remember, Martin Luther was a Roman Catholic monk-professor.

Let's reply your confusion part by part..
Matthew 10:16
Who were "you" referred to..

Did you read my reply?
Sheep .. looking for sheep..
I did not the sheep did not include the apostles.. And what i certainly did not see and say is the exclusive rights of sheeps only for apostles..
And i showed you in Matthew 10:6.. dont ignore la please..

Fyi, you are falsely teaching that the sheep scourged in the synagogues and brought before governors and kings as in MATTHEW.10:16-20, were not only the apostles but included other sheep or Christians/believers like today's Gentile Christians. Including you and me too.?

= you are quoting MATTHEW.10:16-20 out-of-context as not referring to the Twelve apostles only but to also include other sheep or Christians/believers, like today's Gentile Christians, including you and me.

John 10:15,16
i overlooked that because of the many shocking misunderstandings you have of the Bible, including this.
and i stand corrected that's John instead of Matthew.
John 10:7,"Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
John 10:9, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
Mind you this is the SAME DOOR... and the BIBLE clearly telling you... "......by me if any man..."
Hello.. ANY MAN.. NOT APOSTLES!!

and continuing on to your John argument
the above John 10:7,9, already said clearly "any man"

'Other sheep' - is your own words its for Gentiles? other Christians? or there's a bible verse that refers as such?
See the danger?? ITS YOUR OWN WORDS when the Bible in previous few verses, CLEARLY talks about ANY MAN

....... OTOH, JOHN.10:28-29's "sheep" was referring to the apostles whom the Father has given to Jesus Christ, which JOHN.17:11-12 says He kept and lost none of them except the "son of perdition", ie Judas Iscariot.

Please show the Bible verses that "other sheep" is not referring to Gentile Christians, eg those converted by Paul and falsely being Judaized by James - GALATIANS.2:9-14.
