you walk away from the Lord and the Spirit of God leaves you. I don't mean
having an argument with Him, I mean really walking away from Him and
hating him and telling Him by your actions that you want nothing to do with
Him or His cross.
So; it is your opinion that if someone with eternal life were to renounce
Christ, refute the gospel, and hate, despise, and disown God; that God
will take eternal life away from them?
Well of course it's impossible to take eternal life as if it were human life
because eternal life is a species of life that cannot die; therefore it's
impervious to the wages of sin.
†. Rom 6:23 . .The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And since eternal life is impervious to the wages of sin, then it has full and
complete immunity from prosecution no matter if its owner were to renounce
Christ, refute the gospel, and hate, despise, and disown God.
†. John 5:24 . . I assure you: those who listen to my message, and believe
in God who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for
their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
When people are transferred from death to the species of life about which
Jesus spoke; it's a one-way trip. If that were not true, then eternal life wouldn't
be eternal; it would instead be just as temporal, just as fragile, and just as subject
to termination as human life. In point of fact, if eternal life was vulnerable to death,
then it would be possible for God to commit suicide.

person's life and see if the confession of their lips matches their confession
and actions just before they die. Do they still love the Lord or do they hate
Him?
It doesn't matter in the slightest whether somebody with eternal life either
loves or hates Christ since they have immunity from prosecution for their sins.
In point of fact, according to Rom 5:6-11 it isn't necessary to love Christ in
order to be protected by his crucifixion.
