It's so sad brother. Modern Christianity is not the same biblical Christianity that was preached and taught in the early church, or even the church of two or three generations ago from what I can tell.
leaven left uncorrected will always leaven
as error begets more error . Judge not correct not ALLOWED LEAVEN FULL REIGN and now Its lumping the lump sister .

You CANNOT be a CHRISTian unless you believe Jesus is God.
That is the very definition of Christian.

You might be a Witness or a Mormon or who knows what else..
but you are NOT a Christian person.


Here's the problem C....
I'm saying that you should go study some church history.
Find out what was believed by the Apostles and all those that came after them.
Thomas exclaimed MY LORD AND MY GOD....
and Jesus did not correct him.

Those that came after ALSO believed Jesus was God.

So, tell us, why should we believe YOU when you state plainly that you don't believe in orthodox Christianity.
Believing in orthodox Christianity is WHAT MAKES YOU CHRISTIAN.

You don't get to make up your own rules.
The rules have already been established and by your own words you do NOT accept them.

So do Christianity a favor and stop calling yourself one.

Wow. So Christianity is based on Plato and Aristotle.
No comment.

You might want to post some supporting proof of this outlandish claim.


You DID notice that Jesus was born?
IMMANUEL....a title as you must surely know.
GOD WITH US.

Matthew 1:23
20But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23“BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”


This is the fulfillment of the prophecy in
Isaiah 7:14
14“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

In verse 22 of Matthew, he states that this is the fulfillment of the prophecy.


I think we should learn from Matthew.
I think he knew the OT and prophecy much better than we do.

Well, of course you did!

Jesus and Stephen died for using the term SON OF GOD.

YOU, otoh, claim that it doesn't mean much.
You are DIMINISHING its meaning.

Why diminish what early believers DIED FOR??

Because YOU cannot accept the tenets of Christianity....even though you
insist on calling yourself a Christian.


As I've already stated to you...the above is such nonsense that I will not reply.

Post some scripture...if you can proving what you've stated.
I've asked you this before.


Oh. And you think THE ROMANS cared about Jesus being or not being God?
If you remember He did die on a Roman cross.
It's THE JEWS that said Jesus was blaspheming by calling Himself God.
Lets use a few examples . first let us remember that JESUS always corrected His own when they were in error .
For example HE rebuked peter very sharply when peter had said what he did .
Now lets first use a few examples of the apostels in acts .
Peter and john by the POWER of GOD had healed a lame man
and the crowd rushed up as though they were the power , they rebuked the crowd quickly and said we are but men .
Now peter himself upon entering into the house of cornlieous
As cornelious tried to kneel , PETER SAID REAL DARN FAST , GET UP i am but a man as you .
Paul even shut this stuff down .
AND EVEN an angel in heaven shut it down
as JOHN tried to kneel before it , THE ANGEL said GET UP
WORSHIP GOD .
Rather odd that when THOMAS KNEELED BEFORE JESUS and said MY LORD and my GOD
JESUS DID NOT SUCH THINGS as did the apostles or even the angel . NOW DID HE .
Exactly friend . I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA the first and the last .

Absolutely 100% correct !

What a great point.
Could you imagine Jesus letting Himself be called God when EVEN THE APOSTLES didn't want men kneeling down to them!
Did Jesus correct Thomas...
NO!
He had just resurrected from death.
Who can, by their own power, come back to life from the dead but God Himself !

If we only read out bible, we'd know the truth.
But we humans prefer to listen to men instead.

If we all just read the NT from Matthew to the end on our very own without having someone tell us
what we're supposed to believe.....
It would be nice I think.
We'd know that God is a loving and merciful and just God.
We'd know that He loves all of His creation.
We'd know that God would like for all of us to be saved,,,if we would just follow and obey Him.

Come back when you know what Divine Simplicity is and
not when you're THINKING you know what it is because the above shows that you do not.
Father GLORIFY thy name .
I Have both glorified it and shall GLORIFY It again .
Father sanctify them in THY TRUTH , Thy WORD is TRUTH
I sanctify MYSELF , JESUS later said .
I have manifest thy NAME unto them
And now a word
GOD is LIFE and IN HIM is life .
I am the Way the TRUTH and THE LIFE , no man comes to the FATHER but BY ME .
and now another word .
Lord had you been here my brother had not died
YOUR brother shall rise again .
Yes LORD in the ressurection , at the last day
I AM THE RESSURECTION .
LOOK at the words of JESUS real clear . And then its no wonder as to why
He told dear dear phillip , WHY DO you say SHOW US THE FATHER
Phillip HE who has SEEN ME has seen the FATHER .

thats why i keep trying to get people back into the BIBLE for themselves
and stop listening to these men .
Too many have learned WHAT VERY LITTLE docrine they do know
through the lens of men . BUT if we just read it for ourselves TRUTH would be revealed
and Understanding would come in time .
THE KEY is , WHAT IS WRITTEN IS TRUE PEROID .
WHether we understand it or not , ITS TRUE . The thing is By grace
even on day one when i first began to read , I KNEW It was true
THOUGH as i read and read i did not yet understand some things .
STILLL I knew everything i was reading was true . IN time the understanding would come .
People often say and act like there are contradictions in the bible .
NO SIR . there is only lack of understanding . IN TIME the more one reads
they will learn that NOT ONLY did not one singel apostels doctrine ever contradict JESUS
THEIR DOCTRINE NEVER ONCE CONTRADICTED each others either .
YES . PAUL and james DID NOT CONTRADICT ONE the other . NONE of them did . IT was all lack of understanding .
but men who lacked understanding , men who desired knowledge for the wrong reasons , perhaps to exalt themselves ,
TWISTED STUFF . even many of the reformers often twisted things from LACK of understanding
or personal gain , honor and etc .
BUT IF WE JUST read it for ourselves , TRUSTING IN GOD , humble , HE WILL teach us in time . HE WILL .

View attachment 58018
let me show you an example .
You know how you have ONE SIDED teachings .
for example you have hyper grace twisting what paul said about Faith
then you have the other side , one sided , who tries to say NO james is right .
THE other side hollers no paul is right .
I can show us where paul himself said what JAMES was meaning .
REMEMBER JAMES was talking about dead faith . faith without works IS DEAD .
DID paul ever once say this . YES HE DID .
watch this .
HE who provides not for HIS OWN , that is a work a work of giving , specially for those of his own household
has DENIED THE FAITH . HE SAID IT . james nor paul were at odds .
NOR did peter and paul preach a different gospel either . that too is a fat lie .
PAUL preached to both the jews and gentiles the same gospel
HE went to JEWISH SYNAGOUES as HIS MANNER WAS . same gospel .
AND GUESS what when peter entered into the house of cornelious , HE PREACHED THE SAME GOSPEL

He certainly was in one accord with the Father.......but also at the same time it goes deeper in meaning. We need to look at scripture in light of other scriptures. Because for example, Jesus also said elsewhere that if you have seen me you have seen the Father.
I’m led by the Spirit to understand scripture, I’m not led by you , to look at scripture in light of other scriptures you say......, hope you understand that “ you” are not my teacher, as much as you think that you are...” you aint”..

Sweetie,
It matters not if you've read Calvin or not.
You're still a calvinist because you follow Calvin's teachings.
That's what a Calvinist is: Someone who follows the teachings of Calvin instead of the teachings of Jesus.
I follow the teachings of the Spirit..now , when you have a full understanding of what that means, we may then have a discussion.

At the moment , all I see from you is.following the Bible from your own understanding..I see NO Spirit talk in your posts whatsoever , you follow doctrine....there is no ‘ Spirit life” in any of your posts.,Alive in the Spirit...ask God to reveal to your heart what that means....in the meantime, seek God out with your heart..doctrine won’t help.not until you understand what seeking God out with your heart means....we know God deep within our heart...as it’s been “:supernaturally birthed”....I’ve even underlined and highlighted heart for you...praying it helps you understand, ok..

Just like your opinion that I follow Calvin...ok..have a nice day...Praise God.

You see RJ
What you THINK does not matter.
What matters is the TRUTH.
The truth is you believe the teachings of John Calvin.
Now...
If you're not too happy to be following the teachings of John Calvin..
perhaps you could go through the NT and come to understand the God we worship
and begin to follow Jesus instead....

The truth is my friend, we must be Born Again to see the Kingdom Of God...not you must be Born Again to see the Kingdom Of John Calvin...you don’t understand my posts and that is perfectly understandable...your heart/ spirit needs very much to mature..and grow in the Spirit knowledge of who Christ is/ was..a remarkable man, who was God’s only Spirit Son, who was Born to the Virgin Mary.

He was the perfection of obedience/ and being in complete harmony with his Father’s will.

As Born Again..we are being taught by the Holy Spirit to be exactly that..we are under spiritual training so to speak...and will be until the day we die...being a Born Again was predestined by God...he knows those who will do his will, without hesitation...I’m one of his children...

In the will of God, to be used by God , however he chooses..my spirit is in harmony with my Spirit Father more and more each day...he knows how my heart longs to please him....Praise His Holy Name...there is no better a teacher on the planet, than the Living Holy Spirit...an Honour and Privilege to be taught by him...and him only..

Yes, I have noticed that spirit/ heart talk is very boring to you...as you ain’t on that wavelength...”yet” all in God’s timing...I pray...as God talks to our heart/ spirit...as that is where we know him..
Oi vey.
