Doctrines Concerning

Salvation

 I. That when an individual accepts Jesus Christ in salvation that they are eternally secure.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

 

Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Personal Opinion:

Those are all very strong verses.

Why would anyone choose to believe the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas rather than John's Gospel?

Why would anyone choose to look "in a mirror" and see them self clearly as God rather than look "through a glass" and see an all powerful God?

The reason seems to me to be egotism, self pride, the very first sin told of near the beginning of the first book of the Old Testament.
