Heresy or error?

[Episkopos]

You are promoting heresy brother, again, not saying anything but a whole lot of nothing, and judging and condemning Luther and the Reformers.
You have your own pod cast and now you can freely promote sinless perfection, which is heresy, you and members here, the majority in fact, bamboozle the immature, babes in Christ and spread your own leaven.

I am actually exposing heresies and making a distinction between what is dangerous for the soul and what is the natural progression from relying on things like the religious ego which the modern churches are not confronting.....in so many cases. People's understanding changes with growth. The problem with dogmatic religious beliefs is that a theological bent is seen as what saves someone rather than Jesus Himself. And this leaves most modern believers stuck perpetually in a baby stage: lots of whining and complaining...even tantrums...but little to no love.

Not being saved? Only at the end? What are you saved from brother, since the Reformers and PC Sproul would tie you up in a knot.

Salvation takes on more than one time frame. There is a present salvation from sin through the higher walk in the resurrection life of Christ...and there is the reward for faithfulness on judgment day. Many confuse faith with hope...thinking that a decision today guarantees a good outcome...without the need for faithfulness. A salvation "status" is not a healthy thing to let a religious ego get hold of. Anyone who has progressed in the faith will come to see that.
We are to be saved or given freedom (aphesis) FROM sin. That is the salvation which is available now while we yet live in mortal bodies. That is according to the gospel and the apostolic tradition of life over death and light over darkness.

Then there is mercy from God on whom He wills at the end of this lifetime. God is merciful...to the humble and poor...not the rich and presumptuous.

One moment you ramble about Paul, the other about how in error the Reformers were, to understanding grace, to stand on Mount Zion, no coherency in your rhetoric's, writing "books, or a book?"

The reformers misunderstood Paul. Paul was about the victory over sin by being raised from the dead into an overcoming resurrection life. Paul sought to win Christ. That is NOT understood in the modern church context because of errant views and the dependence on things that are clearly not biblical let alone apostolic.

Are you strapped for money, honey.

All my ventures cost money. There is no money to be made in preaching truth. Only the lie becomes popular and is connected to Mammon.

Righteous, holiness, not really holiness, righteous, or vice versa, "for that takes care of everything?"

Holiness is built on righteousness. The reformation sought to declare a scheme that has holiness being built on unrighteousness...and this has become very popular because most people want to live as they please AND have an assurance of great things in eternity...which of course is based on delusion, assumptions and presumptions.

I am endeavoring to help those who have taken refuge in a religious understanding that shelters them from truth...from reacting in the flesh and from a dogmatic indoctrination that sees rich people rewarded and the poor relegated to obscurity. It is the world upside down.
When someone is able to save another from the error of their ways...it brings back a soul from death to life.

So we are to embrace humility and the fear of the Lord. The Laodiceans were very smug in the rich attitude, thinking they had only good things in store. It takes a wake up call to get modern people (who are even richer and more smug in their dogmatic certainties) to humble themselves away from the kind of arrogance that usually accompanies those who are certain of their own merits.

Ya, it gets crazier on this Forum, the heretics condemns the believers in Christ, and write their own books, the beginning of a cult.
J.

Where is honesty these days? Have you actually listened to the podcast? Have you read the book? Can you actually quote something accurately and comment on that rather than react with fear and more presumptions and assumptions?

 

[Episkopos]

How many will weep and gnash their teeth when they find out that they put their faith in men...such as Luther...rather than the resurrected Christ?

Did Luther die for you?

Would you die for his errors?

Or, would you make your calling and election sure by submitting all things to Christ to be guided by His Spirit?

It is wise to look for what is behind things. Is it sacrificial and selfless as Jesus is? Or does it appeal to religious flesh...making promises for absolutely no change in character?

Unrighteousness does not inherit life. The wages of sin is still death. Beliefs don't cover sins. Faith in Christ makes one walk as Jesus walked...or it isn't NT faith.

Oh, save this. I’ve never heard you lay it out with more sharp precision than you have just there. It’s ready for print even! It will be very helpful to some.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

“Strapped for money,” lol. In the doubtful event that all the truth and wisdom in this book ever became precious to men, it would only be after the one who wrote it died. If the author wanted to make money, he failed miserably. To have it fly off bookstore shelves he would have had to tell men how rich and how right they are, not tell them what they still lack and what they have yet to see.

Edit: oops, thought I was in his book thread.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

All men have many errors to begin. Otherwise, there would be no renewing of the mind. The errors will either be cemented into a foundation and the tower be built for men to gather around and make a name for themselves and no renewing or growth occurs and many are greatly harmed or as the mind is renewed the high places are torn down and discarded.
Its one or the other.

it is prety amazing that those who think them self sinless. judge and attack those who acknowledge their weeknesses and want healing.

they will not be healed. because they do not think they need a physician. Its why the religious jews hung Christ. they too did not think they needed healed.

its also sad that these people get an audience. and people who will try to appease them..

I would worry about my own soul and my own faith in self rather than faith in Christ before judging other people..

While I agree. people who put faith in men are in danger.. they are in no more danger than those who put faith in self.. there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

it is prety amazing that those who think them self sinless. judge and attack those who acknowledge their weeknesses and want healing.

That’s not what’s gone on here.
First of all, no one said they were sinless. I understand that you perceive that as being said, but no one has said that.
Unless you can see no one has said that even though it’s your perception, I guess I won’t get to any second or third points.

The video is about the difference between heresy and error (we all have some). If anything, the man is saying to be careful with throwing around the word heresy. He makes a distinction between something that does great harm to masses of people and simple error from mind in process of being renewed.

 

[Wrangler]

What say you?

I don't normally write such long posts, Episkopos. I guess that means you inspired me. LOL

It's hard to respond point by point in writing to a video. Just a point of clarification; did you equate heresy with causing division? Heresy is by definition merely a doctrine in opposition to a standard basis of comparison, such as an established (orthodox) church. Error is a property of human existance that can be attributed to orthodox or heterodox.

Outside of religion, in politics there are orthodox and heterodox positions on global warming, the efficicacy of the COVID vaccine, the benefit of endless deficit spending, etc. So, it is very unclear why you are trying to relate with these 2 concepts.

I posted this which seems akin to your point. What do you say?

Some time ago I realized many Christians are idolators; they’ve made their doctrines into an IDOL.

Such IDOLATORS create what is not in Scripture, a doctrinal purity test. Such IDOLATRY led to the Inquisitions.

Lacking political power now, such idolators still invoke ‘questions’ but not to learn but to relentlessly attack. Sad.

At the 16:20 mark, you say there are 3 time periods of being saved, including, "I am being saved." I was taught this is an error, confused with sanctification.

At the 18:00 mark you condemn the proliferation of denominations as 'endless choices' - as if that is a bad thing. I cannot disagree with you more. Paul wrote in 1 COR 9:22 that he became all things to all people so that by all possible means some may be saved. No other religion has such a beautiful flowering to reach as many people as our Holy Spirit. It begs the question, going back to IDOLATRY, is your goal to bring people to Christ (to save people) OR doctrinal purity?

You categorize this as "catering" to people. Again, AS IF that is a bad thing. The 'catering' as you call it, is primarily a matter of focus, of meeting the needs of a wide variety of people. I've written time and again the story of my friend's wife from South Korea. When she moved with him to Boston, she attended the Korean Christian church. She did not do this for doctrinal purity reasons. That church catered to her needs - and won her devotion. The focus was the Korean language and culture, which she felt comfortable with. Nothing wrong with that!

You are promoting heresy brother, again, not saying anything but a whole lot of nothing, and judging and condemning Luther and the Reformers.

Who are you quoting here? (I could not tell, even when using the search function). FYI, I agree with this point, your comments are bend on condemning Luther and the Reformers.

Categorizing the Protestant Reformation as "fast food" understanding at the 18:20 mark, a shallow understanding. Such pejorative categorization denies the good of this - as opposed to an alternative being no understanding. And guess what? Knowledge is just another IDOL. We are not saved by knowledge! That is the lesson of Original Sin that seems lost on you, brother.

Both my grandmother's were devote Catholics and I loved them dearly. Neither were theologians! It's not what they knew; it's what they did that matters. This is why our lord said not all who call him lord will be saved (it's the doing not the knowing).

I am actually exposing heresies and making a distinction between what is dangerous for the soul and what is the natural progression from relying on things like the religious ego which the modern churches are not confronting

Hmmm. I think the unnamed person you quoted and I exposed you are not merely 'making a distinction between what is dangerous for the soul and what is the natural progression' of spiritual growth. It's unclear what you consider modern churches not confronting. However, a minister I have a great deal of respect for, Steve Cioccolanti, warned clergy who criticize his focus, to stay in your lane (focus on what the Holy Spirit calls you to do. Don't criticize what other clergy do in response to what the Holy Spirit calls them to do).

Make a Blessed Day!

I find your post somewhat confusing as you are quoting multiple people.

When someone has a public ministry, by all means they are to be measured against the scriptures and the points they have made be challenged if they do not line up with God's word.

The "stay in your lane" only works in reference to bringing judgment on the servant of another. We are not to condemn people...just doctrines that are dead and bring death. So then the doctrines are fair game. Otherwise how would you know the doctrines are actually accurate. If you like a certain minister...well and good. But you can't just foist what you have approved on others. Each of us is responsible for what we approve. It is better to be like the Bereans who did NOT just believe everything Paul said...but instead were diligent to look into things for themselves.

I invite challenge to what I teach.


I see a deeper bible study as beneficial to adopting a proper stance to the ways of God.

Follow neither the CC nor calvin , nor sadly even most protestant leaders of today .
All men must be tested . every voice must be tested , every spirit must be tested , everyone that even utters
a peep it must be tested . We are in the days of great delusion and the author of darkness
is guiding many souls right to HISELF under the guise of a false love , a false unity .
A direction which has taken off to heed the GOD , HIS CHRIST , the truth in that bible they so long ago left us .
ITS an all out war for the souls of men , i shall not point to men , but to CHRIST and if we wanna know
its HE we follow and not some other jesus , well learn thy bibles well . GOD , CHRIST , IS with the lambs
and no lamb is gonna sip , taste or drink of the cup of a harlot , no matter how beautiful they try and make
the outside appear . No matter how they try and make it appear as christain doctrine
the lambs can smell the mix hidden within . THANKS BE TO JESUS . For they have noses that smell
eyes that see , ears that hear and they love , adore every word of the LORD , every word of truth .
They will not sit at a false table and eat of the dainties of their doctrine ,
They will eat of the green and holy pure grass of the WORD and words of the LORD .

A real shepherd will point you to the cross and Christ, not to himself.

 

[amigo de christo]

A real shepherd will point you to the cross and Christ, not to himself.

Yes indeed . true shepards point to THE SHEPARD but hirelings who care not for the sheep
but rather desire pre eminence , will always do all to behave as though they point to Christ
and yet the Christ they seem to point too sure has made them rich and left the flocks in darkness
and destitute of the truth .
The hirelings concern is how to GROW a church for they see it as a business , a means by which they can live
in comforts of life .
They desire the easiest path that leads to no resistance , no suffering , only easy times and cares and pleasures in life
which have choked the word .
They will compromise . though they holler and stand and say they never would , THEY DO IT ALL the TIME .
And once they begin down the road of compromise , they compromise more and more and more
till those who sit under them have no idea what they have lost , nor that they themselves are still lost .
They now see darkness as light and have no idea of what the church ever was or is .
They know only names and a few words of what the first men taught us . They know JESUS in name only
and follow another jesus . If Christ and the original apostels were to walk into their churches
The would voice as one , YE DONT KNOW LOVE , YE DONT KNOW CHRIST , YE DONT KNOW TRUE CHRISTANITY .
They have no idea the enemy has long infiltrated them turning them little by little , day by day
doctrine upon doctrine here a little leaven there a little leaven , Against the very GOD they think they know
against the very Christ they think they serve . Give the devil an inch of compromise , HE BECOMES THE ENTIRE RULER .
for leaven left unchecked will never travel alone , and it will bring many friends within to utterly destroy and reform
the church from within . We gotta get back into bibles .

With fear? You made 6 podcasts with a whole lot of rambling brother and condemning others according to your worldview.
Here in South Africa it's called "waffling"

Honesty? There are clichés here, birds of a feather flock together, ne ou swaer, wat probeer jy nou eintlik se broe, or, ........... Ngamanye amazwi, uthini, ushumayeza izethameli

So we are to embrace humility and the fear of the Lord. The Laodiceans were very smug in the rich attitude, thinking they had only good things in store. It takes a wake up call to get modern people (who are even richer and more smug in their dogmatic certainties) to humble themselves away from the kind of arrogance that usually accompanies those who are certain of their own merits.

Just love it, ol' @stunnedbyabee" still likes you a lot, but even here, in answering/not answering my questions you are waffling, the higher walk, lower walk, righteousness...

Job 42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes
Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Job 42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
