So if Paul did not mean plainly what he said in 1 Timothy 6:3-4 and James did not plainly mean what he said in James 4:6 then surely you would have an explanation to these verses that would make more sense in light of the context. But seeing you did not offer an explanation, and seeing that you said before that your study of the Scriptures by faith is confusion (Which is contrary to the statement made by Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:33), I am going to assume you really don't know what you are talking, my friend. No offense. I care and love you in Jesus Christ, but I do not love your belief. For it opens the door to lead others to treat God's grace as a license for immorality (Whether you want that to happen or not).
Three things you will not find on that list of things that will not separate you from the love of God in Romans 8:38-39.
(a) Yourself.
(b) Unbelief.
(c) Grievous sin.
The Bible talks about how a person can choose to later reject God.
For Paul says,
- We can fall from grace (Galatians 5:4).
- We can be moved away from the hope (Colossians 1:23).
- We can be a castaway (1 Corinthians 9:27).
- We can be cut off just like the Jews if we do not continue in God’s goodness (Romans 11:20-22).
- We can sow to the flesh and reap corruption instead of sowing to the Spirit which reaps everlasting life. (Galatians 6:8).
- We can deny God by a lack of good works (Titus 1:16).
- We can shipwreck our faith (1 Timothy 1:19).
- We can deny the faith and be worse than an infidel if we do not provide for our own household (1 Timothy 5:8).
- We can err from the faith and pierce ourselves thru with many sorrows if we love and covet after money (1 Timothy 6:10).
- Hymnenaeus and Philetus have overthrown the faith of some (2 Timothy 2:18).
We can have a harden heart of unbelief and depart from the living God (Hebrews 3:12-14).
Again, the Bible teaches that sin can separate us from God from Matthew to Revelation (Matthew 5:28-30) (Matthew 6:15) (Matthew 12:37) (Matthew 25:31-46) (Luke 9:62) (1 John 3:15) (Galatians 5:19-21) (Revelation 21:8).
The Bible teaches that obedience to God's commands is tied to eternal life from Matthew to Revelation (See Matthew 19:17-19) (Luke 10:25-28) (1 John 1:7) (1 John 3:23) (Hebrews 5:9) (Revelation 22:14).
