It's clear that deep down it's rooted in fear.

And there’s nothing wrong with that:

“by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6)

I just wish more people can be honest and admit that they follow the Bible because they don't want to go to hell

Do you obey the law of the land?

If so, why?

Would you drink poison?

If not, why?

BTW, I watched the video and it is fairly incorrect in doctrine and with some correct doctrine perhaps you can learn something from it, like what I stated in my last post, but it might steer away new Christians with its false doctrine.

You mention the word 'doctrine' 3 times. Fair to say Christians are indoctrinated?

I obey the law of the land because I choose to, not because I have to. When have laws ever stopped people from breaking them? And breaking the law isn't always bad either...especially when your government starts oppressing you. Yet Romans 13:1 says to obey the government for God has put it there.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,(A) for there is no authority except that which God has established.(B) The authorities that exist have been established by God." Romans 13:1

Show that verse to anyone whose been oppressed by their government.

“Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.” (1 Peter 2:18-19)

Christians bash other Christians because some Christians believe they are true Christians. Some Christian protestant told me denomination doesn't matter and so I then said, "Ok, then Mormons are also Christians." He quickly objected.

They can't even get on the same page

Christian is not the KEY....
A man made religion, such word “Christian” first spoken by an unbeliever, mentioned merely 3 times in Scripture.

AND FYI, MANY Christian “Denominations” make up their OWN DOCTRINES, above and beyond JESUS” DOCTRINE.

It begins with Gods Word, Ends with Belief and willingness to Lay down “your” life (body), unto DEATH, For the Love OF God.
THAT ^ inanutshell is establishing a once and forever RELATIONSHIP with the Lord God.

AND FYI...not all people CALLING THEMSELVES Christians...believe or have laid down “their” life, (Body), unto Death, For the Love of God.

Men disagreeing with men, not liking, ignoring, correcting, call them out....so what?

What does THAT ^ have to do with a mans Relationship with God?

Let's be honest here, some Christians will wonder what Bible you've been reading. They all have 'the KEY'. And I don't mean that in a personal way or anything

You cannot honestly call yourself a "Christian" and believe this rubbish. But if that is what you believe then identify yourself properly.
exactly my friend . Too many folks sit under men that have lulled them into a real deep sleep concerning TRUTH
by piping them FEELINGS and EMOTIONS about a god that aint THE GOD and about a christ that aint THE CHRIST .
Lambs love the truth and thus we love and embrace what is written in that bible .

The Bible has many contradictions in it. Jesus is God and God knows everything right?

In CONTEXT....WHEN?
Jesus came to earth, as the Son of man, in the likeness AS a man, a Humble Servant, without His Reputation,

IS that God? If you lived in that day, and Saw Jesus when He came to Earth....would you bow down, Worship Him and call Him God?

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32


So the Son doesn't know and yet the Son is God and God knows everything.

How do you KNOW Jesus IS God?


Do you know that the Catholics and Protestants both think the other is a heretic? I'm telling you, we are all going to hell in someone's eyes.

eh, who cares? I have no calling to Believe IN MEN. Men’s blather does not define me. God dictates what Defines me.

I’d rather be running in circles in the Bible than whatever you’re running in circles in…
Folks attack the bible , cause they want to feel saved and safe. The reason folks need to attack and change the truth ,
is due to they dont desire the truth but rather still desire the lusts of the flesh . Most folks dont truly LOVE GOD
Nor CHRIST , they love the idea about a god and a christ that serves the flesh and their desires .

Why hate your flesh, that's like hating yourself. Flesh is what makes you a human being, you are life and life is beautiful

So in other words, slavery is promoted

Its the new DECONSTRUCTION CHRISTANITY my friend . And they are all over the place and within churches .
If one loves the world and the lusts of the flesh , OF course they will embrace this attack on the bible .
Cause they dont want to beleive in eternal damnation . Folks just want to change GOD into an image that makes them feel better .
As for me , I am sticking in the bible . Remember paul warned
how bad it would get , specially near the end . THE TIME will come when they WILL NO LONGER ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE
but heap up teachers like this other fellow has done and will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned unto fables .

What is so bad about loving the world? Is love of this world not what we need more of?

You can fool the lukewarm christains , but not a lamb of Christ . My advice is cease the pretense
and if you desire to truly be a christain , Open bible and start learning THAT JESUS , that GOD .
We have minds , and as men our minds are contrary to GOD . We cannot even receive the things of GOD .
I can clearly see you are not truly born again at all . But my prayer is that you will truly submit to GOD and learn From HIM .
Ye must be born again . Till then your carnal mind
is never going to allow you to see the truth clearly .
My advice is submit to GOD and stop following emotions
and carnal reasoning .
