We will just have to chalk this up as an honest disagreement. Your beliefs, which I respect, are based on a literal traslation of the Bible that you believe is the literal word of God. I disagree, but we aren’t going to convince each other.
Peace FRiend, work out that salvation with fear and trembling. The only chance we have is here, the book tells us how. I do shudder at the thought of that very divine and Godly Jesus saying “Depart from me” rather than “Well done”. It is eternity afterall.
