I don't think this teaching is what God had in mind EG.
22 And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Eternal life is not given to you until the end. IF one continues in H
is Goodness,
Rom. 11:
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness,
if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Gal. 1:
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto another gospel:
Gal. 5:
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace.
Heb. 12:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble
you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there
be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected:
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
1 Pet. 1:
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written,
Be ye holy; for I am holy.
WE are to be diligent and "Take heed" that the "many" who come in Christ's Name don't deceive us BECAUSE we CAN BE TRICKED. Because We can "turn away", because we CAN "Be cut off".
The serpent teaches we Can't loose life EG, not the God of the Bible. Gen 3:
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Are you preaching you already have eternal life? That you don't have to "endure" to the end? That you don't have to be "diligent"? That you don't have to "Take Heed"? That you don't have to "continue" in His Goodness.
Rom. 2:
6 Who will render to every man according to
his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
Is Paul peaching that I am to actually do something here, a "work"? If I already have been given Immortality, which I can not loose as you preach, then why am I to continue to seek it in "well Doing"? Doesn't Jesus do all the "well doing" for me?
I don't know EG.
You preach that God created instructions so burdensome, so grievous, so many in number that it is impossible to keep them, and that God did this on purpose, then turned around and killed tens of thousands of people for not keeping these laws He created too burdensome to follow. Could this unjust God you preach also give you eternal life then take it away?
There is another option though. Maybe, just maybe the Bible is truth. I know it's a long shot, but maybe man doesn't have immortality yet as the Bible teaches and men won't receive it until after Jesus comes back and gives this gift to them. Maybe the scriptures are right and your preaching is wrong. Maybe God is true and MAN is the liar. Maybe we are to have faith that God "WIIL GIVE us eternal life as it is written, IF we continue to follow His Sayings which by any objective view should be considered "Good", don't you think?
Col. 2:
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which
he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
You should re-think this one EG.
