Your statement is an opinion of a subjective view. Nothing more.
Just going off your first sentence,
@bdavidc. Im not reading any further.
You free to believe how you want to, use scripture to dictate that for you.
I rather go by the resurrected Lord Yeshua within me, than what other people say, or have an opinion about.
Im always gonna be seen as odd.
The issue isn’t that you’re “odd.” It’s that you’re constructing your own version of reality instead of learning what God has already revealed in His Word. Claiming that you’ll “go by the Lord within you” while neglecting Scripture is precisely how people manufacture their own gospel. The true Jesus never contradicts His written Word. He said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit and life” (John 6:63).
If the “Yeshua within you” is telling you something different from the Bible, that’s not Jesus, that’s self. God’s truth is not subjective, nor is it up for revision. “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89). We either submit to what He said, or we rewrite it to suit ourselves. Only one of those options leads to life.
“The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). Don’t put your trust in what’s “within you” over what God has revealed in His Word. The Spirit of God never speaks against what is written. If what you hear doesn’t align with what Scripture says, then it’s not the Holy Spirit,
it’s your own deception.
“The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Not your emotions. Not the inner voice. His words. The Bible is not subjective or subject to private interpretation. “All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
You may tell yourself you’d rather go by the Lord “within you.” But if the “Yeshua within you” says something contrary to the Bible,
that’s not the real Yeshua. The true Christ said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
And no, you’re not “seen as odd.”
You’re seen as lost. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14:12). Choosing your own ideas over God’s Word isn’t being “eccentric”;
it’s being led astray from the truth.
“He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has that which judges him, the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day” (John 12:48). Following private revelations over the Bible doesn’t make people spiritual,
it makes them walking in darkness.
God doesn’t call His people “odd.” He calls them obedient. He calls them holy. If you turn away from His Word and follow your own voice, you’re not walking with Christ, you’re lost without Him. Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). His voice is in His Word alone.
