This is why I asked you at the outset what is the subject. You said abiding. That is correct. So what is being taught is the difference between those who are truly abiding and those who are not. And the answer is...the ones who are abiding bear fruit.
The illustration is not dealing with the subject of eternal security. If it were, it would be told differently. Not every illustration makes every point. Otherwise, when Jesus commends the unjust steward, one could conclude that Jesus is advocating for sin. But we know He wasn't. And neither is Jesus teaching here that salvation can be lost.

but i never said that.
i just present the facts of Scripture.
you can make your own conclusion, i don't have to do anything.
we can ONLY be a Branch connected to Christ if we are SAVED!!
the LOST, can never be connected to Christ as a Branch.
so, this is about the Saved, Jesus, is talking about.

From what I have studied, this is the great white throne judgement. It is for unbelievers only. "In that day" is the final judgment, and every knee shall bow......Hence the "my Lord,my lord."
The frightening thing to me is the fact that these people did MIGHTY works in His name and not one sin is mentioned. These were obviously, good , moral, upstanding and law abiding people. From what they claim they did for the Lord, we can assume they were church goers also.
Not one sin mentioned, but the Lord called them evildoers.
Why were they not saved? Thoughts?

look what Jesus said here:
5 He that overcomes, he shall be clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
so this reference:
22. Many will say to me in that day, 'My Lord, my Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name have cast out demons, and have done many mighty works in your name?'
^
have been blotted out.
why would Jesus know those who reject Him in the same way as those who obey Him?

Who has overcome the world?
1 John 5:4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith
They were never born of god. Because they never had faith
1 John 5:4

Yes we do
he who overcomes (he who is born of God) will not be blotted out.
and in that day many will say to me lord lord have I not done all these things in your name. And he will say depart from me FoR I NEVER KNEW YOU who practice lawlessness.
They were never saved.. Most likely they thought their works saved them, which means they had faith in self not Christ. Ad that is why Christ never knew them because they were never born again

Agreed. I should have payed more attention.
My point is that particular sins are not brought up, because Jesus Christ died for all sin. So what is judged are our deeds, our human works.......That is why religion is so dangerous. A good, moral,upstanding,law abiding life is as filthy rags to God.
Rev 20-12--And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
