I do not see them as threats of loss...but a road map on how to navigate the pathway Home.
But, I guess if a person 'sees weeds and not flower' through life...they will just see the above as threats.

Yes, it's possible that they're red flags to HELP God's people to stay on the narrow path.
But, that would mean that God is bluffing, exaggerating, lying even.
It's also possible that God is deadly serious with His warnings/threats.

P.S. IMO, the #1 reason for the Word to come down here was
to FREE God's people from their bondage to sin and Satan.

Why warnings post to a few tens of people? You could reach far more in christian reddit.
So why are you posting here?

Among other reasons, I agree in the prominence of your point.

Can you elaborate how your comment:

Repent of your on-going sins

Applies to a person FREED FROM their Sin?

Glory to God,

What is the matter with all of you people?
Are you speechless, or what?
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecc 3:1
"...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:7


"But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled." Mark 15:5
