Interesting enough, in the apocalyptic chapters in Isaiah 24-29, Isaiah predicted that liberals would rise up in Israel and make a covenant similar to a “nuclear free” or “non-proliferation” agreement to guarantee their safety, but in the end it will be a "covenant with death"! Thankfully, the Lord intervenes...

Isaiah 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said , We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through , it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste . 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled , and your agreement with hell shall not stand ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through , then ye shall be trodden down by it.

You may be right, but there are many fallible men and women who have offered a plethora of opinions and interpretations on a host of scriptures so that it seems as if no one may know the proper interpretations of many scriptures.

Sure, there are a host of scriptures that cannot be taken any other way than one, like Jesus saying about Himself that there is only One begotten Son:

“For God so loved the world that He gave his ONLY begotten son, that whosoever should believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

From this and other related scriptures we get a host of interpretations as to whether everlasting life can be lost or if it cannot be lost - and so on.
