“2 Corinthians 1:23 -> Is Paul using an oath here? Doesn’t Jesus command not to make oaths?”
“Why don’t we have the severe letter in our Bible?”
“If we discovered the severe letter, would it be scripture? Is this unhelpful to speculate on?”
“Question about what you said about catholic people – would you say catholic people will not be saved?”

“How far does the ‘guarantee’ in v22 extend? Is it a guarantee to us of God’s faithfulness or does it also extend to guaranteeing the faithfulness of the believer (that is, guaranteeing their perseverance)?
