I should add that "break their necks" is not a pejorative term. I have always believed that my salvation was secure, but until I was shown the principles of rightly dividing Scripture, I could never quite "deal" with certain verses to my own satisfaction, so when asked to explain verses that implied loss of salvation (and I don't mean ones like 2Ti 2:12 that don't have anything to do with salvation), I would "break my neck" trying to handle them.
It's a tough thing to do, but now when I come to verses that might give me whiplash, I try not to do anything with them at all until the Lord, in his own good time, explains them to me. It saves on the chiropractor bill.
