Of course salvation is of the Lord, it’s the only way we could ever be atoned of our sin. And I absolutely agree that there are no contradictions in scripture and if there appears to be any contradictions then it is the interpretation that is in error not the scriptures. That’s precisely why I explained every single verse you provided and it’s also precisely why you won’t explain your interpretation of James 5:19-20. You and I both know the same thing, we both know that there’s a problem with interpreting James 5:19-20 in such a way that doesn’t contradict eternal security because of the context of the passage. That’s why I keep trying to get you to interpret the passage so I can point out the error in your interpretation and you know that you can’t interpret it without that happening which is why you repeatedly refuse to provide your interpretation. James 5:19-20 isn’t the only passage that refutes eternal security. There’s also Galatians 5:4, 2 Timothy 2:12, John 15:1-7, Romans 11:17-21. I haven’t presented these because I try not to bog down the discussion with too many passages at once. I think it’s much better to focus on one or two at a time. What I see in my discussions about these verses is that either people ignore the context of the passage and what I mean by that is they will often say they were never actually saved, they only thought they were or pretended to be which is why I quote James 5 because it’s undeniable that James is speaking about people who are saved. That’s the only way their soul can be saved is if they turn BACK to the truth as James said. If they were never true believers, turning BACK would not result in salvation because they would’ve never believed the truth in the first place. I’m just trying to help people see this because I think most overlook this important detail. I’m not basing my doctrines on one verse there are several verses that indicate that believers can lose their salvation I’m just quoting one of them.
