You have given us YOUR interpretation of scripture and that raises the important question: Why should we believe that you have divined the truth? I mean no insult.

Well, one needn’t get it perfect to get it useful. I see a sincere effort in you to at least try to comprehend. Do be careful about calling people damned or not based on petty details, however. People don’t need to pass the screening of a human “God committee” to be saved. They just need to meet up with the Lord and engage spiritually with Him on a journey of being restored and forgiven (which is, in the technical jargon, repentance and salvation by grace through faith).

The Lord Jesus and the Bible appeals to reason, thus do i.

As we see Jesus often honoring rich Abraham as an example of a real believer, (Jn. 8:39,56, etc.) while reproving riches in the context of false security, and the rest of Scripture shows that forsaking all does not necessarily mean literally, while condemning indolence and not working if able, then it is reasonable to assume that your charges are based upon ignorance and selective but not objective "proof texting ," or you believe Scripture actually contradicts itself.
