OK, so you've shown me that "men" is not in the original Greek. I'm no Greek scholar, so I didn't know that. Thanks for informing me.
However, that does not change what we read in 1 Cor 3:13-15 about the works being burned but the man himself being saved. Niether of you have addressed that point. Rather, you continue to maintain that if a man's work will be burned, then that is proof that he has become unproductive, and all unproductive Christians have lost their salvation. This is the opposite of what we read in 1 Cor.
Both Jesus and Paul warn that there will be believers who fall away from the faith and by doing so become unproductive. OSAS totally ignores these warnings.
Jesus and Paul warn about the church becoming apostate as an organization - something we can see in catholicism and liberal Christianity where a works-based salvation is preached.
In the passage that this thread was based on (Heb. 6:4-6), as I have stated in an earlier post, the situation described is purely hypothetical. Paul himself clarifies this in verse 9 by saying this situation is not one that is associated with salvation:
- Heb 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
I've mentioned this before, but oddly enough just like the 1 Cor. passage, it has been glossed over and dismissed with a waving of the hand.
