But, as I have noted, he didn’t say that.

But who can be “in his hand” if they depart of their own volition?

As I noted in my previous post, the interpretations that you prefer place contradictions in the word.

More study needed.

All I note is that you do not post scripture backing your point.

Assuredly.

If they depart of their own volition then obviously Jesus is of lesser power then they themselves: for they themselves are snatching themselves from his hand.
But obviously that is untrue: if he will lose none of those given him by the father, then none of those who (after having be given him) leave can actually be lost, otherwise he is a liar. (This is not to say that we cannot deceive ourselves, that is another topic altogether and human experience has shown the great capacity for self-deception that humanity has.)
