I asked this:
"So then, if this means denying entrance into heaven from one who used to believe, Jesus contradicted Himself. Is that your position??"
When my question is answered first. Which is: is that your position?
It seems you've dodged my question.
First of all I asked you to post a scripture for your claim, whatever claim you intend to prove.
But you did not.
Here is an example of posting a scripture to support your claim.
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[c] angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matthew 25:31-34
Jesus gathers His people for the Day of Judgement, and grants to the ones on His right, access to the kingdom of God, which is called:
Inherit the Kingdom.
- Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Those of His people on the left hand are denied access to His kingdom, in which they do not inherit the kingdom of God:
Those who do not inherit the kingdom, will hear these awful words.
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41
All those who are gathered before His throne are His people, His servants who believe He is Lord, but some obeyed Him, while others did not.
Here is the reason, for those who inherit the kingdom:
- Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me;
I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison and you came to Me.’
These are those of whom Jesus said these words: those who have done good, to the resurrection of life
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:28-29
Loving people, is an action, not just words.
Those who abide in love, abide in God.
Those who do not abide in love, abide in death.
whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
1 John 3:14-17
