I haven’t had a chance to quick context yet, but I used to use 3 verses, taken out of context, to prove if you’re divorced and remarried, when you die you are going to hell.

When the passages are read on context, these are talking about two totally different topics.

"When the passages are read on context, these are talking about two totally different topics."

Great point. And, this is the common fallacy with "proof texting" some concept. One must read the entire letter of the writer to understand the direction of the argument. Then a particular remark takes on a broader, wider, more understandable meaning. Talk about YOPIOS...this Catholic character has made up his own theological straw man.

And, incidentally, the Scriptural message, the Word of God, does indeed teach that if a person is among the elect...they cannot lose. That happens to be why "Gospel" is the word for "incredibly good news". But, there goes Rome's ax over the sheeple's heads.
