I think I do understand.
When we come to Christ, and are reborn, we are changed into a new creation, and God does not offer to change us back into the old creation. You cannot "unbirth" yourself, though it seems that you think you can. How would you even do that?
"Walking away", what does that mean? You aren't just going from one room to another. You've been remade, and not by yourself. So what would you do to unbirth yourself from God?
Much love!

Anyone can walk away.
But no, some, such as myself ,can not.
It would not work for me.
My walk and relationship is non negotiable.
It is man's thinking and notions that believe someone can not depart from the faith.
Paul calls it "shipwrecked"
Paul committed a BELEVER to Satan for the destruction of the flesh "...so that in the end he might be saved"
You really think God winks at carnal believers?????
Osas is a weakness in weak believers.
It is the wild card to justify their weak carnal walk.
No "on fire believer" walking in God's favor would ever waste time debating their own salvation.
And yet osas believers have that item at the top of their thinking.
It is their passion to prove , with a certain array of verses, that they can not " lose their salvation "
Why would you not know what departing is?
There is no "rooms"
It is a covenant.
A covenant not broken by God, but man has the ability to depart.
If you can not...then you are a robot bound by a covenant.
The ability to depart HAS TO BE THERE.
Love that is forced is not Love.
He wants my love freely given to Him.
He wants me to want Him.
What a shame that has been reduced to a concept that God robotically make people saved and then they are trapped into forcefully serving Him, while their self serving mental existence of carnality actually has then questioning the relationship.
So now they are centered into " I am chosen, I had no say in the matter, and now no sin or carnality can separate me from heaven."
How much sin can a believer be immersed in before any sanctions?
What do you do with the verses opposing osas?
Osas is like a meter saying " I get a pass and God winks at my unloving self centered weak christianity"
All my security is in God's choosing me, therefore I have no chance of being shipwrecked as Paul declared.
Osas is diabolical
