lol.

I am not confused maam.. And there you go with the no sense again

thats you response to anyone who disagrees with you..
Not at all....I say their post doesn’t make sense to me because.

In my spirit it doesn’t...and I’m sure mine doesn’t to them...I wouldn’t take offence to anyone saying that to me,

Its because we are all at very different levels of understanding.

In future I won’t say ,your post doesn’t make sense as you’re quite sensitive to those words.....I will word it a different way...hope that’s ok.....

Personally, I don’t think you understand Epi....and for some reason, you feel threatened by him...

I find quite a number of his posts very enlightening...how that would make me a follower of Epi, I have no idea, then you say you are worried sick about me, because I agreed with some of Epi posts.

I’m still trying to get my head round that one....I have the Holy Spirit Living in my heart and I’m his child...only he can lead me into God’s truth.

Sometimes I see Epi speaking Gods truth...as do many others.
Be careful sister that you do not transfer your trust to a man. When truths are being used as wrapping for a great deception, it is just bait. And it means we are drinking from a tainted well. Some water in there sure, but it's leading to the poison that settles nearer to the bottom. The devil likes to heat the water up very slowly to the boil so we don't notice we are being cooked until it's too late. Nobody is going to jump into an obviously boiling pot. Test everything.....check with the Lord about everything.

Sweet Sister...i do test the spirits...I don’t like to see anyone ganged up on, that is all, I check every word out with scripture, even my own....none of us are without error at times are we?

I only trust the Holy Spirit....I just try and make peace, then everyone gets a say, why try and shut people up by being really nasty to them,( I don’t mean you) ....surely we all have a right to voice....I. mean, a lot of the time I haven’t a clue what Epi or eternally grateful are talking about.....does that mean they are wrong in what they say.....everyone’s understanding and wording is so very different isn’t it...that’s when we need to refer to Gods word.
Once I used to say birthed in the Spirit, to me that meant Born Again...but, it’s not in Gods word, therefore I was sowing confusion....I’ve stopped using those words now....always a pleasure speaking with you Sis...I’ve never once see you be hostile to anyone...I really admire that in you.xoxo

Lots of hostility...it is just veiled. You don't seem to be able to pick up on the subtle poisons that go against the Spirit of God.

If you are strong in the Lord....you should be able to ignore what members say and have self control...

Just like Jesus did...he never retaliated once...I always think of that, when I get on the defensive...or I start reacting back, with personal attacks....I’ve grown a lot in that area imo...Praise God..

I am not defending myself when I respond to the pithy attacks...they are merely exposing themselves. But I will defend the truth at times against those who are leading others astray. Sometimes silence is NOT the way to live in the truth.

You have a lot to learn. Your discernment is not accurate enough...allowing anything that sounds spiritual without knowing the ways of God sufficiently enough to know when you are being played.

Maybe you can hear that I am speaking the truth at times. But you also believe lies as well.

I pray that you will learn the ways of God more thoroughly....no longer being tossed around by winds of doctrines.

Of course you are Epi, you are reacting out your old mindset.

I can assure you I have God given discernment...without knowing the ways of God?

You’ve just voiced your opinion Epi, ..if you are being played, I have enough self control to ignore it...

And carry on using the word of God to state my case....
Maybe you can hear that I am speaking the truth at times. But you also believe lies as well.

Do I believe lies?..again that’s an assumption Epi...how would you know I believe lies....if you are talking about Behold...I can assure you I check everything he says , using scripture..
I pray that you will learn the ways of God more thoroughly....no longer being tossed around by winds of doctrines.
I’m not tossed around by winds of doctrines, I’m Born Again..so have no idea what you are talking about here...I belong to God, so impossible to be tossed around by winds of doctrine.

The only place I can get tossed around in,is confusion...but, I have the Faith to know that God will bring me out of confusion..

To be in Epi's band, you must sing only from Epi's songsheet.

To think otherwise is simply deceiving yourself. Maybe you can sing as high as him, but you'll never walk as high as him. Just ask him.

I poke my head in every once in awhile to see how a thread might be going, but it's always the same. Full of hubris and arrogance. Full of self-proclamations. And with a handful of cheerleaders waving pom poms, he continues. --When one of those cheerleaders makes a comment or asks a question he doesn't like? Go stand in the corner!

A mockers tone is always in harmony with some. You will always find your audience Mr. E.

You don't get it at all. I see you as no different than the mockers who grieve the Spirit (in jest). No fear of God.
Epi....lighten up....your demeanour is starting to change...hehehe...please don’t reach boiling point again..hehehe,

Actually, if I'm not misunderstanding, not just told but revealed. Jesus "told" everyone the same things but not all "saw" or "heard" what He was saying. It is the spiritual things of God which the natural carnal mind can't discern which the Holy Spirit reveals to us.
Yes, exactly,

Where the New Testament speaks of "a mystery", this is from musterion, which refers to something that can only be known by revelation.

Much love!

You are unable to discern the time for things. A mocker jests crudely. A spiritual person doesn't do that. So you are a baby yet...too innocent to see the evil in front of you. God is not mocked. Nor is coarse jesting appropriate against the truth.
