Fake Christians are like liberal commie democrats that hate free speech and when people confront them on their baloney.

No it is not always a 'work of the devil'

Bible correcting, ..

The very core meaning of this is..."i dont believe the bible".....

People who LOVE and Believe the word of God, are not found on forums and in pulpits and in commentaries trying to find fault (correct) with it. @Carl Emerson .

= "be not deceived.....

See, when a person is trying to prove that the word of God needs correcting, then they have assumed a throne of pride whereby they have decided within their own mind and heart that they are the authority, who can assume that role.

So, that is the first issue with this carnal person.

The 2nd is........the only thing that happens when you try to correct the word of God in front of Believers, is that this has the capacity to cause them to DOUBT God's Word.

And THAT, is the work of the devil., every single time.

Here is the reality check... = GOD calls us to BELIEVE His word.......not correct it.


Thats a fact.

I am puzzled - when did I personally correct or cause anyone to doubt the Living Word of God.

Is it normal to slander folks on this forum ?

I think it good to discuss topics but to incessantly falsely accuse members is not a good look and not honouring the Lord or the member.

Yeah, I really think your free/hate speech should be censored. Even though you don't know my real name or address and it appears you live roughly 2000+ miles away (oops—wrong coast; now I AM worried), I feel unsafe. :p

(Sarcasm isn't against forum rules, I'm told.)

I forgot to mention that I also don't have the ability to log off the forum, close a browser tab, or power down my device. In short, I'm powerless to stop the flow of stuff that offends me—it's completely vulnerable, I am. :confused:

You should know by now that it wont be game over...

What I know is that no one wins this "game." I've said that there is no such thing as idolizing the Bible—only one's own opinions of what it says. And yet I'm being lumped in with a group of folks who are characterized as liberal commie whatchamacallits. Communication has broken down completely.

Some are searching; others have "found it." I'm not one to shut down discussion but it's clear enough to me that we're becoming more divided from this one. The truly sad thing is that this one isn't so much different from the rest. :(

I'm surprised that we made it to page 62 on this one. - LOL

The metrics say SUCCESSFUL topic. The actual contributions say... I don't know what. ???

The world hates me.

I must be doing some real work for the Lord.

I will never back down to the enemies of God and the Holy Bible!
Just think how pleased God is knowing that you are defending Him and our current English translations of the Bible.

He also calls us to rightly divide it.
Sorry, reminds me of a joke.

A customer ordered a pizza for themselves at a pizzeria.
The nervous new server asked how many pieces to cut the pizza into, six or eight?
The customer responded, "Better do six. I don't think I can eat eight pieces of pizza."

That's no lie.

.

That Paul's verse., and He tells you to "study" the word of God, also. (The Scriptures).

At that time there was no NT, as we have them today, but there were Paul Letters that become most of the Epistles, and Peter said that Paul's Letters are "SCRIPTURE"........And that is exactly True.

And this makes sense as Paul wrote most of the NT Epistles, and all the Church Doctrine.

Paul also tells us that there are believers who do not = "obey the Truth".

Most of them live in this verse as their discipleship....... Hebrews 6:1

He says they are "Bewitched" by a PERSON.... (someone like Calvin) or (Jerome) or a Forum member, or a "Pulpit".

Q.) How does that happen to a Calvainist, a "cult of Mary"......a "JW".... "A Mormon"... ETC, ETC ? ?????

Hebrews 13:9... (KJV) teaches us that we have to get our : """""HEART Established with Grace".

Now understand reader, ... our SALVATiON is already established by Grace the moment we are born again.......but our "UNDERSTANDING" isnt.
This is why Paul teaches that we have to come to the same "mind".. (belief system)....and when we do, we are "as many as be PERFECT".

See that '""""Perfect"? ???? That has nothing to do with trying be good or live holy or any idea someone has about trying to imitate Christ, or "walking in Zion & outer man issues"...

Paul is teaching that we have to come into the perfect understanding that GOD has, regarding how HE understands what it means for us to have become = A.) "THE... Righteousness of God, in Christ".. and THAT is to have the right mind and the perfect understanding of the "knowledge of God".

And most Christians, get '"mind captured" by a cult and never make it to the "right mind"....... someone like Calvin will get you, before you do what Hebrews 13:9, tells you to do, and then the verse explains what has happened.....

AA.)= A "Doctrine of DEVILS" has captured them, and now they "no longer obey the Truth", because they are "BEWITCHED" in their MIND, by someone's TEACHING.

Here are a few who can capture your mind in less then 10 minutes of reading their "doctrine of devils".

John Calvinism
Catholic Church Fathers
Mary Baker Eddy
L. Ron Hubbard
Preterism

Also....
Many Denominations will do that to you, based on their Core Theology.
Online "Christian" sites will do that to you.
"youtube" videos will do that to you.

Many Teachings will lead you right into a doctrine of devils, and you can ask any Calvinist "how did you become a Calvinist".

"someone showed me'"
"I was talking to people on a Forum that is Calvinistic"
"I read a little of the teaching"
"i was taught it in my SS class"
"my church is Calvinist, so, i was raised to be a ......"
