“Give it up Vlad.”

I can’t give up truth.

“Either man is responsible for his own salvation or God is.”

No, God is responsible for man’s salvation, but man is responsible for losing it.

Isn’t that exactly what happened with Adam and Eve?

So God saves them but isn’t strong enough to keep them saved?

John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29"My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.…

But you would say that Jesus was mistaken there because some of those “sheep” would actually perish after having been saved? Also we all know that it’s Satan who attempts to snatch people away from God so would you also say that God was not able to keep Satan from snatching those people away from Him?
