You are seducing them with your lies...and they are too simple to see what you are doing.

A devil would state that Paul's Theology that is "the simplicity that is in Christ'....would be "seducing".

Did you want to think about that for a while, Episkopos?
You should.

I'll tell you what he's doing, Johann.
Hes laughing.
He's having a good time...watching the fires burn and the chaos continue.
He is enjoying seeing people get upset, and just comes by occasionally to fan the flame with some sarcasm or one more heresy. or to give someone he's deceived a fake pat on their back for helping him out..
For about 40 pages now, his responses are little more then the latest click bait to keep the Thread going.

His Theology he posts....that ive read, is a mixture of self righteousness and legalism and confusion.
Then he sits back and has a good laugh at the responses.
He is a dark light Luke 11:35 , based on just a few blasphemous things that he's said to me about the Cross....Jesus Himself.... and the Gift of Salvation.
i have not read a lot of what he's said to others but im sure much is just total Cross Rejection.

You might remember that i asked him nearly 10x in a row, in posts, if he believes he can "lose his Salvation">

= "silence".
You are not telling me things I already know brother--I'm not biting on his blasphemous thread and feed him and his disciple any longer.

Are you saying that the initial grace isn't free? Are you a works salvation person? Do you think Jesus died for your pleasure? Making videos of actors portraying Jesus on the cross so you can watch Him suffer...over and over again? And you think THAT is glorying in the cross?

You are one sick puppy, Behold.

And your disease is affecting the babes in Christ here. You are seducing them with your lies...and they are too simple to see what you are doing. They have joined you in your filthiness.
Hey puppy, you wont be here for long, you have insulted too many members here. I will give you a run for your money, any day, any time.
Currently you are under observation, you don't know it.

Oh my gosh, it’s like cowboys and Indians. With cap guns.
Yes and notice who is playing the game. Someone who claims to be walking a higher walk. I sure am not discerning the Holy Spirit here.

Take care sister....he has some good things to say and I suppose that is just the bait for the rest that is bafflegab. False gospel alert. The devil never rests, baiting and preying on those who are seeking righteousness and the kingdom of God.

Acts 17:30: "But now commands all men everywhere to
repent." When it is borne in mind that these men are most diligent
students of Scripture, we can but sorrowfully see in them the fulfillment
of those words "ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of

the truth" (2 Timothy 3:7).

Therefore the "sacrifice" of the
wicked is an abomination to the LORD (Pro 15:8), and his very plowing
"sin" (Pro 21:4). There are but two states, and all men are included
therein: the one a state of spiritual life, the other a state of spiritual death;

the one a state of righteousness, the other a state of sin; the one saving,
the other damning; the one a state of enmity, wherein men have their
inclinations contrary to God, the other a state of friendship and
fellowship, wherein men walk obediently unto God, and would not
willingly have an inward notion opposed to His will. The one state is
called darkness, the other light: "For you were [in your unregenerate
days, not only in the dark, but] sometimes darkness, but now are you
light in the Lord" (Eph 5:8). There is no medium between these
conditions: all are in one of them. Each man and woman now on earth is
either an object of God's delight or of His abomination.


I don't sense the presence of the Holy Spirit on this particular thread, He's gone.

Let the blood washed remain blood washed

Let those who were cleansed from sin not return to sin!

“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” (2 Peter 2:20-22)

Nope. That’s what you claim to be doing, walking in the Spirit, although you humbly throw in that you’re not doing it 24/7. :rolleyes: He has repeatedly said he’s learning righteousness.

But it doesn’t matter. Just, you know, keep making up stuff.

Context.

2Pe 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.
2Pe 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
2Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;
2Pe 2:5 if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2Pe 2:6 if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
2Pe 2:7 and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked
2Pe 2:8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);
2Pe 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
2Pe 2:10 and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones,
2Pe 2:11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
2Pe 2:12 But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction,
2Pe 2:13 suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you.
2Pe 2:14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
2Pe 2:15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing,
2Pe 2:16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
2Pe 2:17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.
2Pe 2:18 For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error.
2Pe 2:19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.
2Pe 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
2Pe 2:21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
2Pe 2:22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

If we are not, we are admonished to do so. What is to be our answer? Yes Lord, or, no, I cannot.

Much love!

And if we don't have the indwelling Holy Spirit, we don't belong to Christ, simple as that, but I am being hard pressed by SBG [thlipsis][peiradzo] and would really want to give her a piece of my mind, but that would be playing right into her hands.

The Spirit in you and you walking in the Spirit are two different things just as “abide in Me and I in you“ are two different things.

I'm being serious if you aren't.

Why do you keep posting such empty posts? Tsk and Psh and Blah blah blah, why do you even bother? I already know you you look down your nose at most everyone else. I already know you often ridicule others. Why are you so compelled to continue that way?

Much love!
It’s just my way. The more ridiculous things get, the more silly I get.
Or you can just, you know, continue to make stuff up about me.
