The thing is we all know there is always going to be a division in understanding with this topic but I would like to express the importance of it as well.
For instance osas has always been coincided with works vs faith because to understand the truth of osas you also have to first have a understanding of works vs faith do you do works because of faith or do you have faith because of works?
That is not usually how it is thought of as a concep[t it more than often goes along the lines of faith without works is dead but in the end it really is more like working for your salvation because on one hand ture enough faith without works is dead but not because you do not have works but rather you never had faith to begin with otherwise your works would come naturally I mean I have never met a person who is in love with God and somehow was so lazy they didn't do anything
Every person who is a true believer is not simply one as a hobby they are passionate they are surging they blaze the traILin pursuit of him this king of devotion only produces one kind of fruit and that fruit will always have works just as how one can instinctively have their body move to save a persons life they don't even have time to think their body acts on it's based on what is inside them either a person does nothing in that moment or their body just moves.
The issue with a non osas view is that it is not eternal salvation and requires a sense of works to keep your salvation.
This to me makes it seem more like your eternal security is not based on Christ and weakens the power of the cross and his sacrifice it puts less importance on him and more on us on our own doings our own ability our own sins it has to much self with it when last time I checked it was never us that was able to break the chains of sin or eternal security all the great ones in the bible pointed always to one person Jesus, who do we look up at Jesus who do we keep our hearts on Jesus who is our redeemer savior and best friend Jesus
And what of the inheritance? have you ever really thought about that word? An inheritance is a kind of contract or mutual agreement for the one it is passed down to one thing God does not do is go back on his word in fact when he made a contract he kept it no matter what even if years later do you think Abraham was denied his inheritance? was he not also the one who literally had a contract made with him?
Note that he never made a contract with God God made one with him meaning Abraham had no liability no down side, When he was asleep an angel came to cut a piece of flesh off him in his sleep he was not harmed at all but it is the significance of the cutting that we need to pay attention to

I made a second part to make it not so long XD
Anyways did you know also that when the Jews made a covanent they did it is blood and flesh with a sacrafice basically it is pretty gross but they would slay a lamb and walk together in it's blood the meaning of this was if I ever break this covanent this is what will happen to me.
God takes these things very seriously if you couldn't tell, now back to the word inheritance it is a covanent sot of a legal conversation and when one recieves an inheritance it is because it rightly belongs to them it cannot ever be take away legally unless stolen but since it is in fact a type of contract and legal tansaction this would imply if we recieve an inheritance from God in becoming his then by his own rules it cannot be taken because then it would breaking the legal contract if it is stolen then it still is binding it is still in your name you have legal rights to it and anyone caught with it pays a very heavy price because you have ownership rights and again note another word of rights think about that we have the right so legally our inheritance cannot be taken and even if some foolish enemy stole it it is still in your name and ownership
However don't forget we do have this inheritance but were we not bought by the blood of Christ? another legal word to notice meaning legally we cannot be taken away from him because we are not our own we were bought giving him and only him legal action with us so if the enemy or even ourselves tried to legally find a loop hole it would be very difficult if even that it may be impossible.
To be under the ownership of a king no less who by all means has much more authoirty than event he most high ranked of people especially with a legal obligation is to literally be as a slave we have no will in the matter but we love and adore him and serve him and give him our will freely and gladly so though we are slaves having no legal rights of our own accord to ourselves we also have the deepest bond and love with God than anyone before the time of Christ.
So I know this was kind of long but just something to think about

Well if one knows how to read Greek then yes there actually is deeper meaning even translated from Greek and Hebrew English is a flawed language even old English is not precise in translation with certain words
the Greek and Hebrew and Hebrew in particular was very potent on words and their meanings it has roots no other language has in its depth of purpose
It is by definition a holy language and for good reason

But not from those who have received eternal life.
Men are condemned already, damnation seals that condemnation unless they choose Life.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(Joh 3:18)

Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it it isn’t true isn’t that literally what we believe in as Christians? I have never seen or experienced healing but I believe anyways
to butcher the word would be to cut or take away from it but how can you do that in the original text there is nothing to cut or take away from it’s the original
