While Jesus is directing John to write to the general assembly at Ephesus as a whole, Jesus's statements are directed to the individuals in that assembly:

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” Revelation 2:7.
Well your wrong

he never threaten to remove a lampstand from any induvidual

but if you need this to continue rejecting you teach a legalistic works based gospel. That’s on you my friend

Here's Revelation 2:7 (NKJV): "“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.

Jesus tells them to repent and warns that only those that overcome will have eternal life.
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. 5 Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God

same author

if you would just study The Whole of the word not just bits and peace’s,

in Rev he threatened to remove the lamp stand, not salvation

you are wrong both ways,

I don't take Jerry in Boston too seriously. He's gas lighting. He says people that voted for DT idolize him, then admits he voted for him. JB doesn't know his head from his tail.

1 John 3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.

Matt 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.

When someone bears false witness against you, that's a cause. And righteous indigence isn't the same as anger.
The phrase "without a cause" was likely added by a scribe and not in the original autograph.

As Jerome (A.D. 347-420) states in his commentary on Matthew (Commentariorum in Matthaeum) at Matthew 5:22 that, “Everyone who is angry with his brother.” In some codices the words are added: “without reason.” But in the authentic texts the judgment is definite and anger is completely taken away, since the Scripture says: “Whoever is angry with his brother.” For if we are commanded to turn the other cheek to the one who strikes us, and to love our enemies, and to pray for those who persecute us, every pretext for anger is removed. Therefore, the words “without reason” should be erased. For “man‘s anger does not work the justice of God”

Still, I forgive you. ❤

It’s ok, he did the same saying he does not believe we bey to be saved, then changing his mind and saying we do

then calling me a liberal, then a trump idolizer

he can’t get his mind straight on what he wants to say, so he has to belittle and attack us, we have seen this before so many times. they are their own worse enemy. Just let them talk. The more they talk, the more they expose themselves

I did vote for DJT, but not in the primary. He was preferable over any Democrat and was the only reasonable choice for POTUS. I always prayed for him and his cabinet, the VP, to succeed as POTUS and for him and his family to come to faith in Jesus. I don't fawn over him like some people (EG), nor have I ever idolized a human being, not Ronald Reagan, not DJT, only Jesus. I don't believe in once saved always saved, either, which is why you mock me and hold me up to scorn and ridicule, especially with your back and forth with Kg. You do have private chat, do you not?

Regardless, I forgive you. ❤

Righteous anger is with a cause
James 1:19-20. "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God."
