You said all you did was stumble and merit death.

TTYL all

You admitted that all you do is stumble and merit death, whereas Paul said "my conscience is clear"--he didn't live in sin as you admit you do. You obviously don't follow his teaching since you don't live the way he did.

He's just saying their defense against the people trying to deceive them is for them to listen to the anointing which leads you into all truth.

When it says He preserves His saints forever who do you think that's talking about? It's talking about Israel, His people where His presence dwells (Ex 33:15)--and yet people can be cut off from Israel and grafted in to it as well.

Yep, have been saved, are being saved, will be saved--all three tenses are in Scripture.

"Getting thrown in the fire and burned isn't a salvific issue." Weird version of Christianity you got there.

I would agree with that statement.

They are blotted out, thus accounted as having never been saved--I don't pick and choose, I believe it all.

Yeah, still, "not all Israel is Israel", and anyone who is cut off is no longer accounted among His saints, so He has kept His Word irrespectively. The issue is I need to believe it all, whereas you're apparently satisfied with believing little slivers of the Word.

No, the Catholic Church does not offer the explanation I do--I had to get those answers from God. Whatever the Catholics teach doesn't satisfy all questions. Let the reader be the judge: if you don't walk by faith you're "condemned" (Ro 14:23), and "God's righteousness" whereby we are...

I don't believe in sinless perfectionism, so I don't think that's what it refers to.

The Scripture says "the Law is weakened through the flesh"--because it relies on the sinful flesh to perform good deeds, it is a "weak" method of righteousness. Gal 3:3 also, referring to the works of the Law, describes it as "flesh". The question as to how these things are is another...

I don't care what they hold--Jesus, the Lamb, is God in the OT. Note that in both cases people are blotted out for sinning against Him. Note the connection between righteousness and Life--sinners are blotted out of the book in both cases. Yeah, Christ says "to the one who overcomes", yet "this...

Your entire "system" makes no sense, is riddled with logical fallacies, Scriptural bankruptcy, and explanatory inability.

The difference between the works that do not save and the works James refers to is WHO DOES THEM. The fault with the works of the Law is that they are performed by the sinful flesh (Ro 8:3; Gal 3:3), but works of grace by faith ("faith works by love"--"God is love", and is "at work in us to will...

So simple--no self delusional Olympic level mental gymnastics needed. Self-explanatory.

This should be believed and said about all those who are in Christ--and, then, if anyone is "blotted out", it no longer applies, because they are accounted as having never been in Christ in the first place, so it's perfectly consistent.

I ask God when I find difficulties in the Bible. Your solution to the irreconcilable doctrines is to say "God used to do those things but my God changes--He's not the same yesterday today and forever". Yes, their righteousness of faith is not remembered before God, so the spiritually minded...

He says that because they're blotted out, their righteousness of faith is not remembered, so that it is as though they were never saved in the first place. Again, your God changes, mine still blots people out of His Book.
