I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock

You have no scriptural rebuttals.
You're a liar.
Philippias 1:6.
"God is faithful to complete the salvation in all the Born again".
Hebrews 12:2. Jesus finishes our faith.
2 Timothy 2:13 teaches that if we have NOT FAITH, after we are born again...then this does not affect our Salvation, because GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US...
Philippians 1:6
"God who started Salvation in the born again, will HIMSELF be FAITHFUL. TO:....>COMPLETE IT">
“But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; (Luke 12:45-46)
“…Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.” (Romans 11:20-21)
Your verse is not speaking to the born again
Its speaking to a servant.
Paul teaches that we are not servants, but SONS. Galatians 4:7
“ WITH the unbelievers.” (Luke 12:45-46)
Paul taught about the Nation of Israel (Hebews-Jews) who rejected their Messiah.
A born again Christian, has not done this, so, they are not connected to your verse
.“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” (John 18:36)
Christians have already become Born again.
A jew who is a "servant", in your verse, is not a (disciple of Christ)
The JEWS again huh?
!
And they will have their portion WITH the unbelievers if they turn back again to sin.
I think this apostasy that Paul prophesied about eventually evolved into the Catholic church.I'm often reminded of these words from the apostle Paul in Acts 20:28-31 - Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
We see in Romans 3, the first question of how it profits to have been a natural Jew born under the law, even though neither Jew nor Gentile is justified by Christ without faith.
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
We see in Romans 4, the question pertaining to Abraham himself after the flesh.
The context of these two chapters therefore pertains to the flesh, and so works of the flesh as by law, such as outward circumcision.
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
No outward deed of the law justifies any man, including Abraham, as though any man could boast by not breaking the law and the covenant, such as by not being circumcised in the flesh on the 8th day according to the law.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
We see in James 1-2 however, that the context is that of faith and works of faith, which Abraham is the father of and called a Friend of God.
No man is justified by any obedient work of the flesh as by law, such as outward circumcision.
But the work of faith as by love, which was against the flesh in offering up his only son Isaac, is what justifies all men by faith: works of the law are of the flesh, but works of faith are against the flesh.
No man is justified by the deeds of the law in the flesh, but all men are justified by the works of faith that crucify the flesh for Jesus' sake.
“But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion WITH the unbelievers.” (Luke 12:45-46)
You dont know this because you dont know any Bible, but you like to pretend.
I think this apostasy that Paul prophesied about eventually evolved into the Catholic church.
Prior to the Church, the body of Christ, you do have a point about 'servants' in connection with the Israelites.Here is how you understand it..
Jesus came to the House of Israel., not to the Gentiles.
So, when you read parable, that are related to Jews, that are given before the CROSS of Christ is raised, then you have to "rightly divided" these verses in LIGHT of the Cross.
You don't know this.. and that is one of the reasons you are so theologically subverted regarding your idea of : Salvation.
“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” (Proverbs 29:1)
