Not at all.
The verses talk about Jesus as The Vine, and some are branches that are burned.
If you think that "branches" and "Vine" are not symbolic, then,..........
figure that out.
Let us know if you ever actually figure it out.
Firstly, I wonder why you are quoting Lord Jesus, .
What was finished? His suffering was finished. .
You still dodged the questions
How do you explain all the verses of admonition and warning in the Pauline Gospel, in almost every letter to the Churches, about the possibility of falling away from the faith,
Because all scripture is profitable... if you use it spiritually.
I have answered this, many times.
Lets try again..
If you fall away, then you become this....>"Fallen from Grace".
So, that is a FAITH issue, not a "born again" issue.
A true believer can't fall away from being BORN again.......they can only "fall away from Grace"
But keep in mind that a person has to be born again, and not just water baptized, to even have the Faith that they can fall away from later.
Is this supposed to somehow subtract from what Jesus said about some falling away and only those who endure
That quote was not from John 15.
“You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”
Matthew 10:22 NASB1995
Why are you quoting from Scripture that you say was not the Gospel to the Gentiles, but only to the Jews under the Law?
Why then did you say that Lord Jesus, while on earth, was not the Gospel to the Gentiles, but to the Jews under the Law?
Ok, So you are saying a person who has faith in Jesus is saved by grace,
Jesus came to the house of Israel.
So, when you read a verse that is given that occurs before Jesus was Crucified, you have to discern this verse, in LIGHT OF THE CROSS.
Also, Paul was called to the "gentiles', because the "time of the Gentiles" started when the Cross was raised.
This began the NEW TESTAMENT, and New Covenant.
The "Grace of God" is the Cross of Christ.
The Cross of Christ is "the Gift of Salvation" or John 3:16
Where is your Scripture proof that teaches that a person who is born again can never lose his born again status?
The evidence is to understand Salvation.
What is it?
Its "Christ in you, the hope of Glory".
Salvation is not found by chasing or enduring.
Salvation is Christ the Righteous, having become in Union with the spirit of a person.
This UNION of SPIRIT, between GOD and MAN, is = born again.
That is how "salvation" = happens.
And once a person is born again, INTO The Spirit of God, then this Spiritual Birth of them as a "New Creation In Christ".... is as eternal as God Himself.
Yes, he also teaches all that carnality as "works of the flesh".
He also teaches that to do it, is "use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh".
What i teach on this forum, as i Taylor'd it, regarding the biggest NEED, here, is ..
"how to stop sinning and confessing".
See, all my Threads are related to how to do that as Paul teaches it.......like this...."Christ always gives me the Victory".

Actually Christ shed blood and death, is Salvation.
That is what has been "finished", and proven by Christ's Resurrction.
I dont dodge questions.
I enjoy them.
And the reason is, ..that faith comes by hearing..
So, when you ask a question, and then read my response, there is always that opportunity, come to you again, for you to be enlightened.
See, my Threads and my Posts, are "seed", and some falls on good ground.
If this ever happens to you, if your heart ever becomes the "good ground", then,= mission accomplished.
