Scripture please...So I only read the first few sentence and stopped. I would expect better from staff to be honest. That’s a very immature question. I’m not even going to entertain responding to that question.
as for the bit I skimmed about your issues with Mackie and Wright. Well when are we saved? are we saved on earth or are we saved when we hear our names called by Yahweh from his great book? The Bible says the saved and lost will be resurrected and face judgment. Those who are found in the book of life seems to be saved right then. The others are not. We are saved at the same moment the others are damned.
@Heart2Soul I hope your advice is heeded...Scripture please...
I am being very honest with you. I haven't heard of most of the men you listed so I researched. I am particularly against their teaching of Paul's messages to the church.
How much time does it take to discern false teaching?I really do think it’s valuable for us to dissent your statement.
“ Why are you not most influenced by God's Word?
I just researched these men you admire and allow to influence you in interpretation of scripture.”
So Heart2Soul could you explain to me why you felt my statement “ I am most influenced by these teachers “ implied I’m not influenced by the Bible? How did you get to me talking about teachers that I admire to equalling me disregarding scripture? That’s very illogical. Seems very reactive.
You followed that up with “ I just done some
Research “ and ……. So the men I mentioned are all professors, with doctorate degrees and considered some of the top professors by other biblical scholars. They have out books, hundreds of episodes as podcasts and have been teaching for decades some of them. So out of hundreds of subjects, which ones do you think I agree with and disagree with? Do you think Wright influenced me more with his book “ surprised by hope “ or his book on the apostle Paul.
See you don’t know because you spent a few minutes researching people
You’ve never heard of and then made a dozens leaps and landed on thinking it’s best to ask a silly , immature question about how little the Bible must mean to me by completely pulling my statement out of its context.
so could you connect all those dots for me?
@Heart2Soul Sometimes it can be clear if the plain sense of Scripture is being accepted or not.............How much time does it take to discern false teaching?
How much can a person reveal by the statements he makes?
Can a tree produce both good and bad fruit?
I am not a judge of a person's salvation but I am a judge of whether there is false teaching in someone's theology.
You mean you’re able to tell if you agree with someone or not and those you disagree with you just say they are false…. I understand. Interesting but meh. I’m become quite accustomed to “ what do the experts know I’ve done my own research” in the last few years. Hope you don’t mind if I just skim past you and don’t really respond. If you want to debate, perhaps you can pose your questions in a debate forum? Maybe save peoples time by holding off trying to repeatedly engage in unwanted debates on a intro? If that makes sense. GBU2.How much time does it take to discern false teaching?

@Heart2Soul has been a helpful mod on here for years.You mean you’re able to tell if you agree with someone or not and those you disagree with you just say they are false…. I understand.

PS. How much time does it take to clarify someone’s position on dozens of subjects by multiple scholars they mention? Surely more than a few moments.
Scripture Genesis chapter 1 records that God created everything yet you obviously believe you know better than scripture, which means in reality you called God a liar.where did I call Yahweh a liar? That is in fact a lie. That kind of makes you the liar dissent it?
That is NOT what scripture says it says God created which is NOT evolution.Yah cant use evolution to create? Why not?
Lol , very Subtle wasn’t I , yep I knew you were a fan the same as me
I agree it’s not as bad but it’s still in the grey xx

Very amiss my friend . Ye cannot love the table of Christ and the table of belial .Welcome!
Yikes. Be careful with that stuff friend.
Really?
That is a strange marriage; Bible reader and Horror fan.
Something seems amiss there bud!
So what sin am I saying I love?Very amiss my friend . Ye cannot love the table of Christ and the table of belial .
Ye cannot love the holy book and then love what that same book calls evil . Something is gone amiss huge .
But many are like that . THey can holler we love the bible and GOD and CHRIST
and yet they loveth evil . Sounds just like i once was . AND I WAS LOST BIG TIME .
SEE , when GOD changes a heart , HE actually CHANGES the heart . TO LOVE TRUTH , RIGHTEOUSNESS , HOLINESS
and all things pleasing to GOD . The last time i checked evil aint well pleasing to GOD at all .
WE must strap on all armour of the LORD and proclaim truth at all times . Many are not gonna make it .
WE must do all to point to Christ and all biblical truth as reminders by which one can grow . AND FAST TOO .
Cause the day of the LORD cometh in an hour that many think not .
If we are His, we are both natural and spiritual. The one points to the other, and therefore we are commissioned to live a life of service where we are placed...according to our gifts, which would include those things that come as the result of the desires of our heart. All things are appointed by God. Just show up. Be ready. We may choose our own path, but the Lord guides our steps.this is a serious question , not tongue in cheek.
We were once in a Movement ( you may remember me talking about it years ago)
They taught us that our life and moments of our days and our interests , must only be a life of prayer and Bible reading/ study , like Jesus.
So my question is to you and anyone else @Hidden In Him , @APAX , @ScottA @Pearl etc etc etc …
just how do we do that? I cannot…
I am a believer in Sonship …( the overcomers who follow the Lamb wheresoever He goes) and I believe that the proof of sonship is how we spend our time . So , on that score, I will end up as an “ also ran” but not an overcoming son.
for all of our early years in following the Lord …we would never watch Tv , or read any secular books …Bible only , worship and prayer . But, that said …when we got old and no longer in the church ministry ….we have little to do other than eat , sleep , worship, prayer , go on forums ( haha) etc , so yes …I guess we sold out to “ The Grey “ …
Now I see why there is only a remnant that follows the Lamb …the rest of us will be just happy to be with the Lord in Glory ……but in the “also tans” …not the front runners ….
I just hope in that big crowd we can also see His face and not only hear His voice ! xx
Do what you have to do I believe the Genesis account of creation obviously you don’t, and interpretation has nothing to do with what was clearly explained and recorded in Genesis it was so simple a child can understand it.
