Hey, say whatever you want to say about me...it really makes no difference to me whatsoever. After all, your quarrel isn't really with me, but rather with the Word of God which has been in existence since long before I was ever born.
Anyhow, in relation to "cheapening the grace of God while rejecting the blood of Christ", have you never read:
Hebrews chapter 10
[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
[15] Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
[16] This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
[17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
[19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[21] And having an high priest over the house of God;
[22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
[23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised):
[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
[26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
[27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
[28] He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
[29] Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
[30] For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

As I pointed out to you just the other day, there's your "one sacrifice for sins for ever" (vs. 12) by which "He has perfected for ever them which are sanctified" (vs. 14), BUT THE TEXT DOESN'T STOP THERE!
No, if we simply keep on reading as many of us have done, then we realize that those who have been sanctified by this one blood sacrifice CAN REJECT THE SAME TO THEIR OWN DAMNATION!
Yes, as much as you foolishly and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the same, SANCTIFIED CHRISTIANS CAN TREAD UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, THEREBY COUNTING THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHEREWITH THEY WERE SANCTIFIED AS AN UNHOLY THING, WHILE DOING DESPITE UNTO OR WHILE DESPISING THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.
Are those who do the same "once saved, always saved"?
Of course, they're not.
Rather, they have A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING FOR OF JUDGMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION WHICH SHALL DEVOUR GOD'S ADVERSARIES AS GOD WILL EXACT HIS VENGEANCE UPON THE SAME.
Well, that's in my Bible...and I believe it.
You'd be wise to believe it, too.
