You said: "THEY would love the truth in scripture , not twist it"What is a christain . One who truly BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST .
Allow me to explain the difference between belief and truly believing .
I once had head knowledge of Christ . But i did not know him . Believing in HIM .
I had heard the gospel at the age of four . If we truly BELIEVED in CHRIST we would see HIM as CHRIST .
Not just an idea or a prayer . MORE than that . IF we truly BELIEVED in HIM we would BELIEVE as a child HIS EVERY WORD .
Abraham BELIEVED GOD . HE BELIEVED . GOD said , and abraham who believed HIM to BE GOD , DID .
A true christain SIMPLY would BELIEVE in HIM . THEY would BELIEVE HIS WORDS , they would believe the apostles words
THEY would love the truth in scripture , not twist it . I had a head knowledge once , but i still loved my flesh
i still loved my sins . I still loved my perversions of lusting after women , and many other evils i still loved .
My belief was not TRUE . GOD changed that . HE DREW ME TO THE TRUE CHRIST
where all i desired now was TRUTH . This occured many years later . YES JIM HE PUT ME IN ONE BOOK . THE BIBLE .
HE began his transformation .
My HEART was changed . Though evil was and will always be present in my flesh , MY HEART NOW HATED that evil .
UNDERSTAND this jim . UNDERSTAND THIS JIM . I was not justifying my sin any longer . I was a new man .
SURE i did not know it all , i wont either in this life . BUT even though i did not understand EVERYTHING i was reading
I LOVED IT . I COULD SUP ON IT FOR HOURS in that bible . AND NOW , though i did not KNOW YET
that some were false , I turned on TBN . I was always now left EMPTY with their speeches .
I went to churches with such a love for fellowship and wanting to find others who had this love , GOD GAVE ME , for GOD .
JIM , i was dancing when the praises to GOD were sang in churches . I was lifting hands and praising GOD .
BUT WHEN the preacher would stand and teach i was always empty inside . NOW
i didnt know why that was at First . But the more i read the more i learned . I was so fullfilled when reading the bible
yet so empty when the preachers spoke . I DID not know WHY , TILL a bit later .
SEE GOD HIMSELF had changed me . I DIDNT . AND YOU BETTER NEVER expect me to say my own flesh changed me .
I give myself ZERO credit for this . GOD put a love in my heart for one thing , HIM CHRIST THE TRUTH .
And anything that even slightly contradicted it would leave me empty . BUT NOT THE BIBLE JIM .
OH NOT THE BIBLE jim . ANY GUESSES on what THAT MIGHT BE jim . CAUSE BIBLE IS TRUTH . IT IS HIS INSPIRED WORD .
OF COURSE it IS .
LAMBS HEAR HIS VOICE JIM . HIS VOICE IS TRUTH . not what I , man or men say it is , ITS TRUTH . AND GOD IS TRUTH
HIS WORD IS TRUTH and the WORDS in the BIBLE are TRUTH .
THE RCC is of satan . now with that being said , i aint accusing anyone who might be in that church
as being of the devil . I mean , HEY JIM i sat in lots o churches , That didnt mean i was of the devil .
BUT and this is a big BUTT JIM . I didnt defend their lies , their lies left me EMPTY JIM .
I learned and grew by the grace of GOD , i tested what men said and spoke .
yet not i , but it was the grace of GOD IN ME having me do this JIM .
ITS NOT A SIN to warn brethren to come out of such places . ITS not a sin to warn people that certain leaders
and institutions are false . ITS NOT A SIN to expose false leaders and places .
YOU simply DONT KNOW ME jim . YOU DONT . You attack a man, who simply points to CHRIST .
You do not know what i know . WHEN i say that , dont think its cause i am better than you or think i am .
NO JIM . WRONG THOUGHTS . KILL THEM . i was worse than most of you all . I say that cause of what you write .
YOU actually believe A LIE JIM . YOU believe muslims and etc worship the same GOD we do .
THEY DONT . its another jesus they follow .
As far as LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR . LOVE CORRECTS JIM . GOD IS LOVE and HE CORRECTS
JESUS IS LOVE and HE corrected . Your mind has been twisted . But WHY is that JIM .
What do you really LOVE . exactly jim . YOUR THE OLD ME . SO dont think i JUDGE YOU or hate you
or wish hell for you . YOUR ME , BEFORE I WAS TRULY SAVED . yeah , PONDER ON that for a while .
AND GET back in the bible FOR YOU .
John ch17
But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
