Jane, amen sister. I take your words in the spirit of love and truth with which they were written.
Indeed my heart rejoices, because the words of truth in scripture have withstood every onslaught. His word, like Jesus, is perfect and complete. I believe that God has been glorified here on this thread, as His word has been shown to be Truth.
There are sobering truths in the Bible, as you pointed out, Jane. In addition to what you quoted, the scripture says that the Spirit of God will not strive with man forever. I don't remember the exact place, but the New Testament says this, and also that eventually, if a person continually rebels and rejects God's calling, that person risks being "given over to a reprobate mind". In other words, Satan eventually will have free reign with such a person. Sobering truth.
