That’s not John 2 that’s Matthew 24. That does not imply that the elect can be deceived, rather that the elect will still suffer.
They are not necessarily exclusive from one another.
Will not repost what you didn't read. So i'll say it a different way:
Judas was elect yet he still was able to betray christ.
Peter was elect yet he still denied Jesus at an appointed time.You need to actually read the whole bible study it w/ a critical mind before disagreeing because your heart is hardened.
The precedent for this is found by taking in the spirit of these biblical verses: if one can be written in, they also can be written off.
"2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful."
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
It's not the law it's the
spirit of the law, the book is dead but the spirit is living.Refer to the mistake of the scribes & Pharisees to potentially understand what you're doing.
