IF we can actually lose our salvation, no longer having eternal life in Christ, that would be due to something we did or failed to do, our own efforts and works

Think Paul was not the author, but either Barnabus or Apollos would be good candidates for being such

Not hated, but trying to see why you want to go under the yoke of trying to keeping yourself saved based upon your performance, and not under what Jesus already did when he paid it in full and said "it is accomplished"

And Paul never added anywhere to watch out and can lose salvation

My point was that many who see that we can actually lose our eternal life in Christ want to appeal to OT passages many times, but that would be referencing a far inferior Covenant

As long as we keep focused and fixed upon Yeshua, trusting in Him alone to save us and keep us saved, we shall not turn away and fall away seems to be how some see this issue, but the truth is its God who saved us, will keep us, and the sealing by the Holy Spirit makes this already a "done deal"

same concept involved, as Hebrews was addressing an entire assembly, and whil all might profess were saved, trials and troubles proved some were not when they "departed the faith"

That passage has nothing to do with spiritual/eternal life, but with the concept of if one sins bad enough, could get the death penalty, but each one received based upon own sins, not group in with others sinning

As peter stated, the sow will return to the muck and mire , but the one really saved shall be as the Prodigal Son, eventually finding His way back home
