Backsliding! I am tired of the posts, sermons, expositions, & speakers on this topic.
Most seem to treat this topic with delicateness and with spirit of gentleness so extreme that their delicateness & gentleness is even beyond the level of Holy Spirit! 😊
Therefore, after getting weary with all this, I come to this question:
What does the scripture say about this topic?
"..It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened,
who have tasted the heavenly gift,
who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and
the powers of the coming age and
who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance.
To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed.
In the end it will be burned.
Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Heb 6:4-12

Outside of God's words and or God's principles, there is ONLY wrath of God for God's people.
Whether we step outside intentionally or unintentionally, the wrath burns us up to make us realize - slowly over time OR quickly in time - & make us come to our senses in order to recognize our extremely deceptive heart as well as us to experience the mercies & love of God ❤.
Abraham never back-slided. The seemingly back-slided events are in fact recorded for us in order for us to recognize the extremely deceptive heart nature even to the man called by God. It's kind of 20+ years window of time between God's calling Abraham and God's rewarding his righteousness to Abraham! 20+ years of faith journey for Abraham is to humble his extremely deceptive heart! ❤
Kindly don't let anybody look into a narrow view of Abraham's life of some event and explain Abraham's psyche and God's psyche please ☺🙏
