{ME; i agree here too, you can accept a gift, but just like any gift, you can refuse, or return it later, you decide..}
John 10:29 (English Standard Version)
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Fathers hand.
According to Jesus, there is a “No Return” policy in place...
ME: note it says ‘no one’ it doesnt say the individual cant.....we are not robots compelled to Christ against our will...some leave, some stay. Your free will is not compromised so that you cant decide to leave....
I did notice it says "no one", that's why I bolded it. "No one" would include ourselves.
Galatians 3:13 (English Standard Version)
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for usfor it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"
The word translated as "redeemed" here means to purchase wholly, as if buying a slave.
Slaves don't get to "decide to leave"...
