i do not seek to reject or argue with Scripture.
Never think that by posting many bible verses you will some how prove your point.
I will imitate the Master by saying “it is written”...that way I cannot be led into misinterpretation by the majority who hold certain doctrines to be true.
I was raised in the Anglican Church, so I know what those doctrines are now that I have studied God’s word in its entirety. I know where they came from and why they have never belonged in Christian teachings. I have identified “Babylon the great” and have heeded God’s warning to remove myself from her. (Revelation 18:4-5)
i love His Word and it always fills me with His Love.
Did you not get the gist of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12?.....it isn’t about how you “feel” or what you “love”, because the devil can use those emotions to lure you somewhere that Jesus would never go.
If people are happy with their deception, then they are not going to look outside of it.....are they? They are convinced that they don’t need to.....just like the Jews were convinced that they did not need to adjust their thinking and their worship in order to accept Jesus as their Messiah. Their religious leaders kept urging the people not to listen to him.
If you love the truth, you will reject that which offends the God of Jesus Christ. You will see that there are “unbelievers” even among professed Christians? How do we know this? Because Jesus told us what will become of those who “think” that they are Christians when their beliefs are anything but. (Matthew 7:21-23) If we promote doctrines that Christ never taught, then we become tools of the one who planted the “weeds” many centuries ago. All these false doctrines are not new...they go way back but, but none of them are found in the teachings of Christ and his apostles. They are carefully woven in by assumption and misinterpretation. Fake Christianity look authentic to them.
If “few” are to be saved, then what is the criteria? Why is the gate narrow, and the way cramped?
What are these “few” doing that the “many are not?
