1 John 2:16 said:For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Question 1 seems to assume that once you are saved, you are always saved. I reject that premise.if you are saved can you sin?

Question 1 seems to assume that once you are saved, you are always saved. I reject that premise.
As for question 2, I do not know why people say what they say. I do believe people suffer for a period of time after they sin, though.
If you are truly saved, then you are always saved, and if you wander away, you will see heaven, but lose rewards. Some people are 'pretend' saved...they have had a pique of conscience once, were spiritually awakened to their sinfukness, acknowledged Jesus, but never really received Him.
Some don't, especially unbelievers. Some people have seared consciences.
I doubt it. There are a number of texts, not least this one from Hebrews that suggest that a person can indeed "fall away" and suffer ultimate loss:If you are truly saved, then you are always saved, and if you wander away, you will see heaven, but lose rewards.
I doubt it. There are a number of texts, not least this one from Hebrews that suggest that a person can indeed "fall away" and suffer ultimate loss:
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Besides, I suggest that you have adopted a model for the nature of salvation that simply does not honour what Paul actually writes. In short, despite what so many believe, Paul does not see salvation as "one-time" event. In fact, Paul at various places refers to salvation in past, present, and future terms. Things are not as simple as they seem, and Paul's model of salvation has a clear "tense" structure - there are senses in which the believer is saved at the point of belief as well as in the future.
The Lord will always discipline us when we sin.
Unrighteous people might not think they are suffering, because they don’t know how beautiful life can be when we obey the commandments of the Lord, but I think they suffer a lot.
