I trust it's clear enough that any honest reader will see my point. I'll receive any truth from anyone, and I'll reject any incoherence from anyone--nothing is personal.

Yep, we're "saved"--and, according to 1 Corinthians 10, that's just the start of the story, not its end.

Why, in your view, does God even bother addressing the possibility of "His righteous one" drawing back (as John also warns) if it's an impossibility--especially when my understanding of the content comports with everything in the immediately preceding context?

The Title of the Thread is about 1 Corinthians 10, and the first post is about it, and the discussion (which you admitted you haven't read) has been about it. In what way has this thread not been about 1 Corinthians 10?

I'll thank you to address the passage head-on.

1 Corinthians 10 1I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea. 2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3They all ate the same spiritual food 4and drank the same spiritual drink; for...

The entirety of Hebrews refers to the danger of starting out right, but ending wrong, and Hebrews 10, in particular, touches on that--"if we go on sinning willfully after having come to the knowledge of the truth...". He's encouraging the audience that they are to continue in faith--just as he...

Irrelevant. The point is that merely "believing" isn't enough to obtain eternal life, and John's texts are being abused.

Yes, we are "saved" by the blood of a lamb, and have received the Presence, and have been baptized, and eat spiritual food--all were true of the Jews, yet they fell under God's wrath for sinning after having been saved. This was written to teach us Christians about Christianity.

You can make a thread about your passage if you like, I've made a thread about 1 Corinthians 10.

1 John 5 17All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.

No, actually, I proved that the point of the writer of Hebrews was that it was not enough to start off in the right direction, but you must maintain that right direction. Hebrews 10 36You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. ...

Are you actually arguing with John now? He is the one who teaches a distinction between sins, not me.

I've posted it. You're free to interact with it when you choose.

OK If you're acquainted with it you know that they were perpetually sinning against God's commands (eg, they went out to collect manna on Sabbath after God had explicitly told them not to do it), and that that was what the text was referring to when it said "unbelief". They did not harken to...

I do not at all hold to sinless perfectionism, but "there is a sin that is not unto death", and those are sins that are absolved.

Well, you're actually calling the writer a liar, because he says they believed.

You apparently are unacquainted with the reference material Hebrews is dealing with--they kept on disobeying God in the wilderness. That was their "unbelief". Their disobedience. All those who "believed" God, spoken of in Hebrews 11, were DOING things God wanted. Hebrews 11 8By faith Abraham...

Nope, if belief was all you needed, then all those Jews who believed, but would not confess Christ, because they loved sin, the praise of men, more than the praise of God, would have been saved. Again, you not only misunderstand Paul but are also misunderstanding John. John 12 42Nevertheless...

Yeah, I'm sticking to the topic of 1 Corinthians 10, not being diverted.
