I was born under a corrupt religion, born into the practice of Luther religion. It’s only taken God 55 years to separate me from that body. For decades this was my flesh!
Sorry ye followed luther . Even more so i am sorry ye follow the great delusion of believing one no longer needs
to believe on CHRIST JESUS .
you do realize what JOHN said about who is an anti christ . THEY DONT believe JESUS IS THE CHRIST .
Muhammed was of the devil as was his corrupt lie of fornication which bred yet another false religon .
Budda is of the devil . now repeat this please .
Any other religoin is of the devil .
Now learn that well . dont follow luther , dont follow calvin and dont follow the RCC .
Dont follow the emergent , dont follow the progressive , dont follow the prosperity gospel preachers ,
dont follow atheism . LEARN CHRIST , FOLLOW HIM . OPEN BIBLE there is much TO LEARN . HURRY .

95% truth mixed with 5% leaven leaven’s the whole lump . It’s what the cults do specialize of truth mixed with lies and deception the tactic of the devil himself all wrapped up in religious / spiritual language to make it sound palatable.
I wonder how fast people would drink water from a thousand gallon tank if i were to say , hey there is a bit of poison in it .
Not one cup would go to that fountain .
YET when it comes to the spiritual things they seem to have NO PROBLEM drinking from tainted waters .
A lil leaven . OH but just a lil leaven will LEAVEN the lump . As for me , This lamb is sticking to the bible
and will follow THAT JESUS and all the truth left to us in said scriptures whereby we shall grow indeed .
If i had a watermelon patch with hundreds of melons with a sign that said
TEN of these melons have been injected with poison . I BET all that read that sign would not raid my melon patch .
AND YET , when it comes to the SPIRITUAL walk many often say
OH so what if the doctrine is a bit off . DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM . YOU SEE IT MY FRIEND . YOU SEE IT . I TRULY
wish others would . The lambs wont eat of the table of the mixture of men no matter how much truths it does contain .
THEY will eat only of the pure and holy , untainted , unadulterated WORDS of TRUTH .

That same man dont even believe its necessary to BELIEVE in CHRIST .
Never forget that . Many can come in and teach the principles of certain truths , But so too can satan himself .
All the while satan says , ALAS you CAN DO IT , there is NO NEED to BELIEVE ON CHRIST .
Satan knows what he is doing . This lamb wont budge from the one and only original life saving and life changing gospel
OF JESUS CHRIST , OF GOD HIMSELF . They do this to the other religoins too .
They come in as a muslim to lead them to all inclusivity , they do this to all my dear sister .
As for me , I am sticking to CHRIST JESUS and the total truth of the gospel which saves and not the other go spell
which graves . As in is death and leadeth to the second death .
Jesus said no man can come to the Father except through Him. And the apostle John wrote that if you have not the Son you have not the Father either. Can't be any more clear than that. HE is the Way (and the truth and the life)....the only Way.

You’re trying to make me one of your targets by which you elevate yourself.
Doesn't matter who Amigo was talking to....it happens to be the plain and simple truth. Otherwise there is no difference at all between that form of "christianity" and the lost world that believes in the "Co-Exist" philosophy and the unity of all religions/faiths/practices. Friendship with the world is ENMITY with God.

Which world do you believe this is speaking of?

Try too look at scripture and answer this without a preconceived bias.

[20] Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

Your still placing yourselves in the text where you don’t belong.

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32)

All men can place themselves in the text that give hope and instruction for this life and the life to come.

If you wish to keep yourself out of the text, that is your problem.

The Bible doesn't give us the option of self-affirmation. There is a judgment coming that has nothing to do with what our self-esteem is telling us.

Without the power of the Spirit...how will we realize that being "poor, naked, wretched and blind" is really about us?

All mankind like the passage said are drawn unless you are calling Jesus and the Father liars . Not all will come when they are drawn and or convicted by the Holy Spirit.

hope this helps !!!

Too me it doesn’t appear to be the Spirit of God that is drawing men rather it is the religious drawing them in groves with a false narrative.

Seems though with most the mental ascension always comes first.

Religion seems to hold people captive.

Being born again removes the Believer from the judgement coming and due this world.

The Cross of Christ has removed any eternal judgment for sin, regarding only the born again.

“…be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” (Ephesians 4:23-24)
Precisely, you do realize this was written to religious dictators who had just escaped Judaism?
