Don't get me wrong. I realize that many who attack me for speaking the truth..need help. So these instinctively come to me to help them...even while they claw at me a bite me with their fangs.

It's like the snake you help out of a trap..only to bite you. Why? Because that's the nature of a snake. A fearful defense mechanism that strikes out at ANYTHING that threatens it.

Jesus died for people who hated Him and killed Him.

The call of the disciple is to do no less. We are hated for His name sake.

Why do it? Well, what if I was the indoctrinated one that needed for someone to stand in the gap and take all my abuse? Would I not want my rescuer to be self-less, unstoppable, courageous and true in vision and direction???

So then if you se the need...fill it.

SO if ya gonna preach SOME of the things he taught , TEACH ALL OF THE THINGS HE TAUGHT . or its all in vain EPI .

We should all be willing to be corrected .
Thus if a man speaks error , bring correction to that man .
But let us always remember man does not live by emotion but rather by every word of GOD .
If we do see error we must correct error . Yes indeed my friend .
And as i have said before so say i now again , IF folks see error in me
dont let me remain in error and hug me and let me believe all is well .
Correct me . But do so with scripture . For as you well know
many may THINK they see error in another , and its good they do try and correct it ,
But if what they thought was error is found to align with scripture , Then it aint error at all .
Jim goes after me like a starved bull dog would on a fresh pork chop .
YET i would love for him to read ALL things , not just specified certain verses taken out of text , BUT ALL THINGS
that CHRIST taught and later the apostels taught .
I aint even a tenth as serious against error as was paul . I mean that man had folks delivered over
That man seriously warned the church repent or else . And while pauls desire was rather
he would find them doing good , SO ITS WHY he warned them in the letter to repent or else ,
GO peek at what paul said he was gonna do if they repented not .
or see what pual also told timothy and titus too . SEE , IT IS LOVE TO CORRECT , TO REBUKE , to expose error
and wolves . But to jim i be the monster because i do so . AND YET i dont even do it on the level that paul did .
Guess paul would surely have been seen as a monster . I mean if jim said i was following my father the devil ,
AND HE DID SAY THAT , what on earth would he have said to paul . or even worse what would he have called CHRIST
You wrote "We should all be willing to be corrected .Thus if a man speaks error , bring correction to that man ." Yet YOU do not accept correction!!! You go on and on and on and on ... and on with your self-righteous condemnation of others, including other Christians, yet you will not heed correction of your chronic disobeyment of God's command.

You wrote this: IF folks see error in me don't let me remain in error and hug me and let me believe all is well .
Correct me." Yet you do not accept correction!!!

And saying that "Jim goes after me like a starved bull dog would on a fresh pork chop" is both funny and absurd, You, of all people, don't like to be corrected, yet that is all that you do! Never do you have a kind or loving word for your brothers and sisters in Christ. You villify, judge, and condemn those who are the sheep of Jesus' flock.

And now you're comparing yourself to the great apostle Paul? LOL!!! Paul clearly loved those to whom he devoted his life, both in person and in his writings. You have clearly forgotten what he wrote to the church that he founded in Corinth: "If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [Read that again and again, "amigo"]

Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part, but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love."

"Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13:8-9

"What would you prefer? Am I to come to you with a stick or with love in a spirit of gentleness?" 1 Corinthians 4:21 This disproves your entire argument, "amigo"!

"Let all that you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14

"My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 16:24 This disproves your description of Paul,, "amigo"!

"For I wrote you out of much distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you grief but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you." 2 Corinthians 2:4 This also disproves your description of Paul,, "amigo"!

"Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you to them." 2 Corinthians 8:24

"And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!" 2 Corinthians 11:11

"I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?" 2 Corinthians 12:15

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you." 2 Corinthians 13:13

"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything; the only thing that counts is faith working through love." Galatians 5:6

"For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14

"By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things." Galatians 5:22-23

"I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19

"We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love." Ephesians 4:14-16

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2

"Peace be to the brothers and sisters and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 6:23

Only a few will be able to enter into the narrow way which is the REAL encounter with Christ. And fewer still will be able to walk the narrow path...in the walk that is IN Him.

The real lambs and sheep have already been chased away for the most part. There are still a few...a remnant...always a remnant.

So you can gloat and promise me the world for converting and worshiping your cult...but I stand with the Lord Jesus Christ whom you do not know and who you underestimate.
Yes as you are on the broad road as we see from your videos .

If correction comes from the warriors of the social gospel , they aint correcting , they the ones in error .
Correction has to line up with the BIBLE JIM . not emotions and pope francis .
If you gonna correct my behavoir of correcting error , DO so through the letters of the apostels .
SHOW ME my error when i say we must expose false ones and false doctrine . that we must correct sin in the church .
OH wait you cant , cause they all preached we should .

Lets examine who takes His name in vain .
IS it the one who says JESUS and points to the CROSS and then says YE DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE IN HIM

A religious nut says you HAVE to believe in Jesus. Why? Does God force people to believe in anything? No. Only religious cults and nuts that belong to these cults do that. But religious nuts don't know they're religious nuts. That's why they're nuts.
or is it the one who says JESUS , points to the CROSS and says YE MUST BELIEVE IN HIM .

This is a cult slogan. God never forces anyone to do anything. Believe in Him for what???
WHOSE taking HIS name in vain epi .

You are. I said that and I meant it. You use God's name and Jesus' name to prop up your own very fragile beliefs.
YOU IS . forgive the english JIM . sorry i had to type to jim real quick cause i know he gonna read this . OOPS i did it again jim .
But anyway WHOSE the one TAKING the name of the LORD in vain
the one who teaches only parts of what HE taught and disregaurds many other parts

The only thing you are interested in is saving the ego, That's all I see in your posts.
or the one who teaches ALL THINGS HE TAUGHT EPI . again you fall far short of the mark .

I teach according to topics that reveal where God is in each of these. You have a very simplistic one-track mind. I am assuming your IQ is sufficient to understand my rebuttals of what you endlessly write. No one has PM'ed me as to your incapacity, up till now.

But you are so simple that no one can seem to get through to you to stop using God's name in vain.
FOR YE say JESUS , YE try and preach the cross , but then ye say , ONE DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE IN JESUS .

No one HAS to do anything. Do you believe in free will? maybe you were FORCED as a child to believe in Jesus. Maybe you were whipped or imprisoned until you repeated church dogmas. But God is looking for FREE choices...a willing sacrifice. Not forced. Love attracts...doesn't compel. You have a lot to learn about God's love.
Rather odd , cause JESUS seemed to say othewise . Again you fail .
You have been measured and found wanton , not by my opinions ,
but by the very WORDS of CHRIST whom ye claim to be serving .
Now you are boasting WAY above your pay grade. See, that's what fanaticism does. You don't even realize how much of a hypocrite you've become.

Instead LISTEN to what God is saying through His Spirit to the spirits of those who are spiritual in Christ. You need to be really born from above...not just American modern sloganeering style.

Your first line alone just accused the VERY JESUS you claim you follow .
HE said it first that YE MUST believe . so much for the false social all inclusive lies of the gospel which you cling too .
You just accused JESUS . I HOPE EVERYONE reads your response . A religous NUT , SAID YOU , says YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ON
JESUS .
You just proved exactly what spirit you are truly of my friend . EPI has FAILED the mark of being a true christain .

I actually live on a boulevard. I was hoping the sound of passing traffic would not be picked up. Glad you like the videos Nicholas.
Still projecting as you are the one who likes them not me. I oppose the false gospel and false christs , false prophets who deceive others with their religious / pious verbiage.

Quite the opposite. Jesus never forced anyone to do anything. That's your indoctrination speaking. Were you beaten into believing in Jesus as a child?

HE said it first that YE MUST believe . so much for the false social all inclusive lies of the gospel which you cling too .

Show me where it says that...
You just accused JESUS . I HOPE EVERYONE reads your response . A religous NUT , SAID YOU , says YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ON
JESUS .

Believe for what? You have no understanding behind the words you speak. No logic...just slogans for slogans sake.
You just proved exactly what spirit you are truly of my friend . EPI has FAILED the mark of being a true christain .
You need to be born from above...then you will see that you don't need to be a fanatic to be a witness for Christ.

JESUS said those who are not WITH ME are against ME
and those who are against me will SCATTER . Keep on pointing to CHRIST MY FRIEND .
Let us all POINT TO THE GLORIOUS LORD now and forever .

Still projecting as you are the one who likes them not me. I oppose the false gospel and false christs , false prophets who deceive others with their religious / pious verbiage.
So do I. So then oppose your outer man. Take a stand by faith. Betray your own cause...lose everything so that you can win Christ.

Have faith.

Quite the opposite. Jesus never forced anyone to do anything. That's your indoctrination speaking. Were you beaten into believing in Jesus as a child?



Show me where it says that...


Believe for what? You have no understanding behind the words you speak. No logic...just slogans for slogans sake.

You need to be born from above...then you will see that you don't need to be a fanatic to be a witness for Christ.
JESUS never forced is right . but he said if one believes not they will be damned .
That indeed you must believe . I aint forcing anyone to BELIEVE , i am just continually reminding that we must .
And that reminder keeps you from gaining any access in with your false social gospel .
