See, THAT’S the kind of verse that you can use to argue against OSAS. You can use the parable of the sower too, if you want to. I’m not saying that you’ve convinced me in the slightest because I’ve already addressed those in context personally, but at least you’re in Scripture and not talking about some rando.
You have not, however, addressed the whole “No one shall snatch them out of my hand” thing that MHGinTN mentioned, nor the “This is the work of God: to believe in him who he has sent” thing, meaning that I still must accuse you of cherry picking.

Soooooooooo, a group of texts that ACTUALLY tells the saved that if they continue in unrepentant, willful sin after Grace, and that they should expect to lose their salvation if they take that path....THAT doesn’t send up a flag for you? Dude, THAT is THE text proving OSAS is a lie. Yes, there are many other supporting texts, but this one slams it home.
Hebrews 10:
26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
And, ask MHG why he can’t discuss it. Did Andy tell him to stay away from it?
