Repent and pray that your eyes will be opened.You posted a lot of verses that have nothing to do with a fallen away believer losing their Eternal Life.
Not one of the verses you posted mention anything about a fallen away believer losing their Eternal Life.
Repent and pray that your eyes will be opened.

All true. So are the scriptures that warn of straying from the narrow path.Repent from what and open my eyes to what a incorrect understanding of scripture.
Do you or do you not, believe the Messiah when He states.
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
All true. So are the scriptures that warn of straying from the narrow path.

You need to study ALL scripture.But the scriptures are warning the believer to not stray for discipleship reasons, not for losing ones Eternal Life.
The dying a believer may experience if they come afoul of their life as a believer. Is a losing of ones physical life (ananias and sapphira or saul,etc..) on earth or falling into even more grievous sin than they may have experienced before they were a believer.
You need to study ALL scripture.
I have been reading your signature and need to ask if you believe in a flat earth?
If so, do you know the Bible speaks of the circle of the earth? Also we read the words "as far as the east is from the west," and did you not know that planets orbit the stars?

The writer consistently gives the same message. Anyway it doesn't matter who put pen to paper,
You are ignoring our responsibility. Jesus will never leave us or forsake us, but woe betide those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit by denying Jesus, those three are One God. Deny one and you deny all.
.
That is not entirely correct. The first occurrence of eretz in the Bible Gen 1;1 it refers to the entire world.Do you understand the word earth (erets) in The Bible means land/ground and not a water covered sphere with scattered areas of land around it.
Whoever put pen to paper did so under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the Word of God, and was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Those who corrupt the Word of God, let the cults beware, are blaspheming the Holy Spirit.But you said, "it was Paul who told us to persevere, and Paul who gave us that awful warning in Hebrews 6", post #32 - and now you are saying it doesn't matter who wrote it.
It kinds of negates your earlier post.
God is One. Father Son and Holy Spirit are One God. To deny Jesus is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit in Jesus. I wish all those who deny Jesus knew they were committing the unpardonable sin.Blaspheming the Spirit and denying Jesus are 2 different things.
Blaspheming the Spirit, the unpardonable sin, is crediting Satan with something that is from the Holy Spirit - like when Jesus drove out demons and the Jews said that he did that by the power of Beelzebub.
Denying Jesus is what Peter did. He even called down curses upon himself as he did so - yet he was still forgiven.

In the scripture you quote, Jesus was casting out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit, but the scribes accused Jesus of using demonic power. To say the Holy Spirit is of the devil is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. As Jesus was born of the Spirit, I personally wouldn't dare say anything against him, He is after all God with us. Personally, I have nothing other than a deep love for Jesus and would never dare say anything against my Saviour who suffered for my sake, and everyone else. But let people do as they like, and good luck to them when they knowingly and deliberately deny “The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isa 9:6-7 KJV. Jesus will probably say, “I never knew you depart from me” and you know what their end will be. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are One God. To deny one is to deny God.Mark 3:29-30 tells us what the unpardonable sin is.
Matthew 12:31-32 tells us that those who speak against Jesus will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Spirit will not Yes, there is One God - but the Son and the Spirit are not the same.
Peter denied Jesus and he did not commit the unpardonable sin - because Jesus pardoned him.

Peter's circumstances were different, and neither was it his belief.
The writer consistently gives the same message. Anyway it doesn't matter who put pen to paper, it is the Word of God given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Deny it, and all other scriptures at your eternal peril. That goes for everyone.

I don't think you know who Jesus was from the foundation of the earth. So do you think you can deny the creator and get away with it?I know.
Neither, I'm sure, would most Christians.
But that wasn't my point. Jesus said in Matthew 12 that whoever says a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes the Spirit, won't.
If they had been the same, Jesus would have said, "anyone who speaks against me IS blaspheming the Spirit - and cannot be forgiven. But he didn't".
No, not really.
Peter had followed Jesus for 3 years. He had seen miracles, he had been sent out to drive out demons, he had seen the transfiguration and at least 2 people raised from the dead, he had walked on water. He had received a special revelation that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus said that Peter was going to deny him. Peter said, "not me; even if I die, I won't deny you". Yet when he was asked, 3 times, "surely you were with Jesus?", he denied it, 3 x with curses.
It doesn't matter if it was his belief.
You said that whoever denies Jesus blasphemes the Spirit and cannot be forgiven- Peter denied Jesus, and was forgiven.
It was the Scribes and Pharisees who plotted against Jesus that penned the Mosaic Laws. They worshipped Baals. Being a New Testament Christian, I distinguish between the two covenants. Jesus gave us the reason in John 8:44. Now I understand where you are coming from. We live in a new dispensation. Jesus said no man can serve two masters, you either serve one or the other. I am a Jesus man, someone who follows Christ. I am not a follower of Moses, but I love the Psalms and the Prophets. What about you. Thank you in anticipation of your response.It matters who the audience it was written to.
