If one cannot back up their own opinions with Scripture that agrees, then one should refrain from expressing their own opinions.
Lol. Laughter comes because something is said that is so absurd, it causes this response.
It is like a school teacher trying to appeal to authority by stating if they say it, it must be true.
Scripture is clear. Walk in His ways, with His heart or be judged. Jesus makes it even clearer, I will empower you with the Holy Spirit so your communion will be complete. He is our teacher.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
John 14:26
Jesus is very clear about those who abandon Him.
Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven.
But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
matthew 10:32-33
'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Matt 7:23
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
Hebrews 6:4-6
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
2 Peter 2:21
The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
Matthew 13:20-21
The servant who fails
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Matt 25:30
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
Matthew 7:26-27
A foolish man is one who does not put Jesus words into practice.
A foolish man likewise ignores the warnings about disowning Him and abandoning righteousness.
But why would people believe it is critical to believe they are secure? Because they are not secure at all, rather they are just hypocrites and desire the promises without the cross and sacrifice.
Jesus puts it simply
Anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:38-39
To suggest this is not in scripture is to be blind, deaf and dumb. But clearly this is the state of some, so other than clearly showing this, there is nothing left. And I repeat these verses just to show how absurd these empty judgements are, but then there is nothing else that they have.
