Key Point 1: Scripture passages do not prove that we cannot separate ourselves from God

Although certain passages in the Bible (John 6:37, 39; John 10:27-29; Romans 8:38-39) indicate that we cannot be separated from God, they do not provide evidence that we cannot willingly choose to separate ourselves from God. For instance, John 6:37 emphasizes that Jesus will not cast us out, but it does not imply that we cannot voluntarily leave Jesus. John 6:37 also states that the Father gives people to Jesus, but Judas Iscariot's betrayal demonstrates that one who was once given to Jesus can still be lost. Similarly, John 10:27-29 highlights the security of Jesus' sheep, but it does not exclude the possibility of them leaving voluntarily. The passages alone do not support the idea that we cannot separate ourselves from God.
