We are adopted into His family. That can be rescinded.

Not by a Christian or a Christian God it can't. When one adopts, one is making a commitment. If you made the commitment to adopt a child, would it ever be the Christian thing to do to "unadopt" that child? The child might turn out to be very troublesome, but it would take an act on your part to give up (to quit), and rescind the adoption. (The child doesn't get a say once it's done.) I don't see how a Christian could do that. I don't think our God would do that either.

What loving Father would do that? None that I know of, and our Father in heaven is much more loving to his adopted children that ANY father on earth can be. Especially when God the Father makes promises that we WILL be with him in heaven, not MIGHT be with him in heaven.

Why live in fear. Our Saviour does not lie.

John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

What in the world is required of us for this incredible gift, that He will never lose us, that no one can pull us away from Him?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

If you truly believe in Jesus everything will fall into line. IOW, If you believe, you will have Faith in Jesus. If you have Faith in Jesus you will be blessed with Grace and through Grace you are saved. It is so simple we make it complicated.

Why come and save your people to have them live in fear?

Not by a Christian or a Christian God it can’t. When one adopts, one is making a commitment. If you made the commitment to adopt a child, would it ever be the Christian thing to do to “unadopt” that child? The child might turn out to be very troublesome, but it would take an act on your part to give up (to quit), and rescind the adoption. (The child doesn’t get a say once it’s done.)

I appreciate your last statement.

However, you are wrong about the child not being able to rescind his/her adoption. The child can petition for it to be rescinded.

Now, it wouldn’t be nice to reject a good parent, or a good God, but not all people are nice.
