Are you just randomly quoting verses in the hope that it might refute me?
I am not sure how Matthew 10:15 helps to defend your view that King David was saved while he committed his sins of adultery and murder. This verse is about a city's rejection of the gospel and how it will be exceptionally bad for them.
The reason why God raised up His Son Jesus was to bless us in turning every one of us away from our iniquities or sins.
For Acts of the Apostles 3:26 says,
“God having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
The gospel is tied to obedience (that follows):
Proof #1. - Romans 16:25-26.
25 “
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:” (Romans 16:25-26).
This ties in nicely with:
“And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;” (Hebrews 5:9).
Proof #2. - 1 Thessalonians 1:8-9 and 1 Thessalonians 1:11-12.
8 “
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” (1 Thessalonians 1:8-9).
11 “Wherefore also we pray always for you,
that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him,
according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12).
Note on 1 Thessalonians 1:8: Those who do not know God do not keep his commandments; For that person who says they knows the Lord and does not keep his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them (See 1 John 2:4).

Again, not sure how this piece of Scripture helps you. This is talking about how if the miracles of Jesus were done in Sodom, it would have remained at least to the time of when Jesus spoke such words. Oh, and why was Sodom destroyed? It was destroyed because it was ungodly (i.e. they were excessively sinful). The global flood and Sodom are examples as a warning to all who would live ungodly thereafter. That is what 2 Peter 2:5-6 is saying (if you were to read and believe it).
Are you just putting Scripture that has the word "Sodom" in it with no real purpose? Again, how does this verse refute my belief that we have to live holy as a part of the salvation process after we receive the gospel?
Luke 10:12) (from a quick BLB key word search, cause I'm no good with numbers, at least memorizing them, words though, lines...?)
If you were to keep reading in Luke 10, you would be able to see this:
25 "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."
(Luke 10:25-28).
Summary of the verses above:
Verse 25: Lawyer asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life.
Verse 26. Jesus asks lawyer, how do read this within the Scriptures?
Verse 27. Lawyer quotes the two greatest commandments: To love God (with some added details), and to love your neighbor.
Verse 28. Jesus replies, you answered correctly. Do this and you will live.
Jesus did not say, "Sorry lawyer! That is not correct! Trust in my sacrifice alone." Many Christians today will say that if they were in Jesus's place. But Jesus says,
"Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live." (Luke 10:28).

But "see", I can do this too, just pick out what I want and ignore the rest... Except I really don't consider myself of any particular point of view on a lot of things anymore...
You did not show me the context of 2 Peter 2:5-6. You are just randomly quoting other verses with the word Sodom in it (for the most part) in the hope that it somehow proves your belief (When it doesn't).
Here are the ones I did not include, that I am fully aware of and know about (Luke 17:29 and around it)
Ask yourself. Why was Sodom destroyed?
Was it because they did not have a belief on God alone as their Savior despite their sin? Or was it because of their excessive sin as to the reason why they were destroyed?
"And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned
them with an overthrow, making
them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;" (2 Peter 2:6).
Sodom was an example to all who shall live ungodly thereafter. Yet, you think David was saved while he was committing his ungodliness. You do not think we can judge sin or evil. Yet, Paul says have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them (Ephesians 5:11).
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." (Jude 1:7).
The problem with Sodom is that they gave themselves over to fornication (sexual immorality) and to strange flesh whereby they were to suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. So it was their really bad sin that destroyed them in such an extreme way. No other city was destroyed by fire like that.
The point in Luke 13:1-5 is that even those who are not excessively bad sinners will also perish unless they repent. To repent is to seek the Lord's forgiveness over one's sins which is followed by the natural fruits of repentance (i.e. to forsake one's evil ways and obey God).
So I fail to see how these are your "big guns" type verses that refutes what I believe.
