Well, since I've never had a child and can never have one, I guess by your interpretation I can't be saved? Do you see why Peter cautioned against those who were unlearned and unstable wresting Paul's writings? Do you see how jerking Scriptures around messes up sound doctrine?
I'll stick with what ALL of God's word tells me TYVM. I know I have eternal life because Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and God has imputed the righteousness of Christ to my account. I'm going to heaven when I die because I heard the voice of the Good Shepherd and obeyed the Gospel by receiving the gift of God by His grace through faith and not by my works, holiness, charity OR sobriety. It's ALL Jesus. Thanks be to God to for His matchless grace!
Amen!
You interpreted and erroneously attributed your interpretation to me. I do see how comparing all the scriptures messes with the unsound doctrines of self appointed and rebellious Gentile apostles and prophets, who are false apostles and prophets; not appointed by our LORD Jedus Christ, not appointed in apostolic succession and not in communion with one holy catholic apostolic church.

I would that you would hear and obey all the scriptures, all the recorded words of our Lord Jesus Christ, all the admonitions of his true apostles, As it is written in 2 Peter and Mark: 1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
