your views are not your own, they are Calvin's. how can you condemn someone who uses their own views given by the Holy Spirit and then shows it is backed by Theologians and Scholars and here you are using Calvin for your own views.
you keep pointing the finger but seem more guilty than anyone you're pointing at for doing as you claim is being done.

You, evidently, are studying from the wrong version of the bible,
Rev 22:19 - And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life.
Matt 11:25 - At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Psalm 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
It appears that everyone has their name in a "book of the living" or "book of Life", from which their name can be "blotted out".

If I am not mistaken, the same was said to Jesus, in his day.
That is why Christ's visible church on earth are but a few, the remnant, little flock etc.
Most of the born again christians, such as yourself, are trusting in yourselves to get to heaven, by accepting an offering that was never offered to you to accept, but was offered to God, for God to accept.

Revelation of John. Containing the Revelations delivered unto him by Jesus Christ .
Revelation 20
Revelation 20
14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. 15And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The KJV reads like this"
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
When you die lost, your name is "blotted out" Just like Revelation 3: 5 and Psalm 69:28 refers to. THEN later, at the final judgement when the "books are opened" i't's found that your name aint there no more. A "name" has to first be there before it can be "blotted out"

They don't name the version. 😉 And they don't speak Koine Greek.
They also misrepresented scripture again.
John in writing Revelation warned we are not to add or take away from that book of Revelation he was writing. He was not referring to the entire Bible, with old and new testaments, that did not exist at that time.
Good luck in your continued patience and pursuit.

Galatians 3:22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Romans 9:15
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
