You can lose a free gift, Ryan. There is NO analogy in any area of life in which a person who receives a free gift cannot lose it, throw it away, misuse it, or otherwise misappropriate it through their own dereliction and abdication. It's obvious, day after day, that you eschew the biblical material about human responsibility, and the reason for that may actually be about something going on in your own life that you're ashamed of, and you may even wonder if God could "let you into heaven" with it in your life. That would be my guess as someone who has pastored people for 20 years of my 40-year walk with Jesus. If we were friends who could speak in private, my guess is that you (if you felt safe) would actually let the cat out of the bag! This would not be a YouTube video about your favorite verses, but rather a conversation about what is actually happening in your own life that creates the need to constantly thunder about how dislocated obedience to Jesus is from salvation in Jesus. Something in YOU needs to believe this. I wonder why? But the fact is, BOTH things are true: Salvation is a FREE GIFT, and it can be lost. Let me end with a personal analogy. I've been married since December 12, 1992. On my wedding day, my wife gave me a gold ring. It was free. I did not earn it. I wore it, and it told everyone around me I was married. Then, in 1994, while I was painting my office at the Church where I worked, I set it down next to the hose outside, washed my hands of paint, and then could not find that FREE GIFT. I lost it. But how? It was a FREE GIFT? Easy. I was irresponsible with it. My wife did not ask for it back, and did everything in her own domain to give it to me freely, but I lost it. Then she bought me another. Exactly 8 years later, I lost that second ring in the Church office! This time I lost it while replacing the sink in the private restroom in my office when it fell into the plumbing in the wall as I was working with slimy wet old plumbing. I couldn't find it. So - I lost it. A free gift. My wife didn't take it back. Then, when I moved to Virginia I lost a THIRD ring by taking it off and forgetting where I put it. My wife said, "This time you can get a cheapy on Amazon" - so the ring I wear now -- the FOURTH ring cost me $11 on Amazon. What's the point? The person who receives a FREE GIFT is responsible to steward what he has been given and he can lose it. Again, there is NO analogy in life for a circumstance where a person, having been given a free gift, canot lose it, even if the giver never takes it back. And How shall WE escape if WE NEGLECT so great a salvation? Heb. 2:3 Remember - Jesus has become the source of eternal salvation to all who _______ him. What's the word that goes in the blank? Find it in Heb. 5:9. You can lose your salvation. Pastorally speaking, it's highly likely that your ongoing online war against the imperative call to obedience (without which no person can fulfill the Great Commission- Matt. 28:18-20) is related to something going on in the depths of your own life that has you projecting your fear of this as confidence and railing against Catholics and others who embrace ALL SCRIPTURE (vs. your curated proof-texts), and your tendency to use these weak and terrible arguments on your X and YouTube account.
