in case you have not figured it out yet , though i think you already have ,
any man that t ries to correct sin and etc is gonna be accused of being legastlic or words to that effect .
This generation IS DONE with the true instruction in said bible . THEY want the new stuff my friend
and by new stuff i mean whatsoever they desire for to hear that will allow them
their one true hearts love and desire . And that is SIN . My soul weeps for many now .
All one can do is continue to correct and speak the truth and understand that many will fight against it
but some will hear . Men and man has done tho ughout all ages what men and man does .
BUT SHEEP gonna do as JESUS bids them to do . And sheep will not be loved by the world
or by even many that warm a pew in these last days and hours .
Many are the enemies of a sheep and sadly many of them can appear in wool as well .
but the sheep cannot give up or give in to compromise . This war has raged throughout
the centuries and it grows even worse by the hour now . It will all end ON JESUS day .
Till then the faithful to CHRIST must endure and speak and live the truth by the SPIRIT and not compromise .

Hi
I left the Catholic Church as a teenager. Watching the empty ritual, taking part in incessant rote memorization, observing all the hypocrisy; l was done. Since then I delved deeper into some of their doctrine, and was glad I had left at an early age.
In any event, I eventually developed a passion for discovering what was life, really.
In college, I studied Greek philosophy, etc. My hobby, later on, was studying various religions, the new age movement, Hindu meditation, which I practiced, and many areas of the occult, in depth. (I still do for a different reason). My objective was to intellectually ascertain the validity of what I read and observed, to see if there was a hole in the genre’s position. When I found a hole in the thesis, I moved on in my journey; seeking the Truth.
Eventually, I became a NYC firefighter. One day I walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. An old timer was there reading a book. I asked what he was reading. He said the Bible; I said that’s cool. We started talking about current events, and he asked me if I would like to read a couple of books on Biblical prophecies, and how they related to today. I said fine. To me Jesus was a great master as was Buda, Lao Tzu (the Tao), Mohamed, Confucius, et al. (‘Many roads led to Rome’). At the time I was reading Nostradamus, so a book or two on prophecy sounded good. I read the books, and also apologetic articles relating to Jesus. I couldn‘t find a hole in the intellectual position.
Subsequently, in the middle of the night, in the firehouse bunk room, I came to the conclusion that this guy Jesus was who He said He was.
From my head, I accepted Him into my heart, and became a new creature in Christ.

it was nice to read the above.
I figured out a long time ago that, with Jesus, we have no choice.
He does not leave us the luxury of trying to pin hole him as a good person, or a great prophet. he's not a philosopher or some kind of god.

Jesus is either who He said He is and who He showed Himself to be...
or he's either a liar or a crazy man.

He leaves us no choice.

and what is our motto .....
I say again and what is our motto .........
LET GOD BE TRUE but every man a liar . AND JESUS IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS and thus His e very word
is TRUTH and His gospel is not up for d ebate but is THE ONLY means by which one can be sa ved .
YE MUST BELIEVE ON CHRIST JESUS and if anyones jesus is but a great prophet or great philospher
and or a minstir of sins and unbelief , IT is NOT THE CHRIST OF GOD and thus cannot save .
IT is but another jesus . And THERE IS no other jesus but THE T RUE JESUS CHRIST of GOD .
Now MOUNT THEM WALLS because we got us an inclusive god at work who has come in as though
HE be GOD and to merge all reli goins of earth as one . with one common goal
and that goal is for peace and for to serve the beast upon whom the dragon giveth great power and a seat .
WE was SET UP all along by ecumencialsim incliusivism judge not bridge builder doctrine .
The inclusive god lied to them all . it pits and divides to keep them distracted and it
unfies them all by means of inclusivity ecumeincalism which is preparing them all for interfaith
for peace . ONLY i seen what is in its interreligious dialouge , and that is THE LIE .
BIBLE TIME , T RENCH TIME , make the last stand in this hour to contend for the one true faith
and all sound doctrine of the LORD .

Did you read what he said about he once thought Jesus was just an ascended master and etc .
THAT right there is the heart of what they desire all to beleive .
That jesus is at best just ANOTHER path to GOD , but there are many paths to GOD . ALL OF IT A LIE .
that is the heart of the lie and the liar that has come to merge all religoins .
Notice GOD set him free FROM THAT . HE didnt let him remain IN THIS MINDSET that so many now
are beginning to even bleieve in christendom . GOD dont lead us to lies , ONLY TO THE TRUTH .
AND THIS is what and this is WHO is the TRUTH . JESUS IS THE TRUTH and HIS WORDS ARE TRUTH .
Now on the walls and in the trenches for the enemy slumbers not and desires the death and destruction of all .
And has come to sell his inclusive lie by which all who do believe will be damned to peridtion as HE is damned to perdition .
regulators and contenders of and for the TRUE FAITH ...............SADDLE and MOUNT UP and be at the ready .

I was never a Roman Catholic, but before I became a Christian over 50 years ago now, I had been brought up from childhood to attend our local parish church (Church of England). Church of England churches vary, some being quote evangelical and biblical. The one I went to wasn't. It held to many practices normally associated with Roman Catholicism. The vicar was addressed as "Father." The Lord's Supper was claimed to involve the bread and wine actually becoming the body and blood of Jesus. We bowed our heads every time the name "Jesus" was mentioned. We even confessed our sins to the vicar.

This is TRUE

However, there is only One Foundation for Salvation upon which we Stand = 1 Corinthians 3:9-15

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

You bet HE is my friend .

Yes. My point was that in the Church of England, there exists a wide variety of beliefs, from evangelical, sometimes called "low church", to almost Roman Catholic, or "high church." So the Church of England's belief system seems extremely flexible.

Thanks for your kind comment Sister.

Your above quote I use all the time.
As you said it puts the “Jesus was a wise and good teacher“ people into a corner.
It‘s one or the other.

And now a reminder . This very foundation will never , has never contradicted the words of GOD ALL MIGHTY .
FOR HE IS THE WORD OF GOD .
And in the beginning the Word was with GOD and the Word is God .
SO what BOOK to we hold too my friend . THE HOLY BIBLE . For every Word of GOD is the TRUTH .
And what was the reason HE came .
For this cause was i born and for this reason came i into the world , TO TESTIFY of ...............drum roll please ..............THE TRUTH .
And not only do HE testify of the TRUTH . HE IS THE TRUTH . and all who are of the Truth COME TO HIM . not budda or some
other false god and gods . GOD is our GOD , HIS CHRIST is OUR CHRIST
and the SPIRIT is our guide and The BIBLE is our book . frankly man can keep
his contrary doctrines TO Him self . The y will not profit him and the sheep wont heed that voice .
And WHY do you suppose JESUS SHEEP wont heed such a contrary voice .........
CAUSE JESUS HIMSELF keeps HIS SH EEP , HE DOES LEAD them and GUIDE THEM and
a s trangers v oice they will not heed .

and thus that is why this sheep sat not under nor do sit under the unholy harlot and her daughters .
Cause JESUS HIMSELF has His sheep . And as i mentioned just a minute ago , THEY HEED HIS VOICE
and not the voice of a s tranger . No matter how well decked in wool that harlot or her daughters
wrap themselves up in my friend . The sheep do not follow the counterfeit ONLY THE TRUE ONE
who IS JESUS the GLORIOUS , JESUS teh WONDEROUS , JESUS THE CHRIST the SON OF GOD .
Now to the trenches because the HOUR is very very late indeed .
The falling away , the time when many would no longer endure sound doctrine , OH ITS HERE
and its growing and a blowing through many houses to take captive all to a lie
by which it calleth love and it claims to be of GOD and is for world peace .
Only it AINT GOD at all . This IT i speak of was created
and it was in the garden and it did convince them to eat of the tree and death came upon man ever since .
BUT GOD HIMSELF would make the way , FOR HE IS THE WAY . The way TO reconcile man to GOD again
and thus freeing man from t he power of sin and of death and of he who ONCE held those keys .
JESUS sheep dont feed on dung troughs with polluted waters of men gone wrong .
JESUS sheep FEED on the pure and lovely green pasture of HIS WORDS .

Verily oh verily i do type unto thee , many are the beleifs of men .
Who you THINK this sheep gonna heed and believe , GOD or men .
Many o many are the beleifs of many denominations
but the SHEEP BELIEVE JESUS , HIS WORDS , the words of TRUTH of the scriptures
which the true aposltes had wrote and later left for the churches .
SHEEP feast on TRUTH . not on what men say is truth but ON TRUTH .
Though many there be which say , oh we speak truth come and sit , come and dine with us .
OFten where they sit and what they dine upon CONTRADICTS the most simple basic truth .
And that aint no trough this sheep gonna feed from my friend . OH i seen the churches all right .
I SEEN what they are fast to buy and quicker to sell .
THEY have bought a lie they think is love and see as a means for to attain world peace
And what have they sold , or cast out i should say , THE TRUTH in favor of sensual love and anti christ peace .
WE better darn sure be aware that we do not and are not sitting in any place or church
that is in any shape form or fashion connected to , Ecumeincal inclusive unity interfaith finding common ground .
IF any is sitting in such a place , MY advice , GET OUT and take every one you can with you . that house coming DOWN
on JESUS day .

Just verses unjust
righteous verses unrighteous
How can a man who calls GOD a liar ever be counted righteous with GOD
or justified by God .
And now a friendly reminder for us both .
HE who BELIEVES not the testimony that GOD gave of the SON
calls GOD a liar .
Remember well that the apostles were very very startled at what JESUS had said
and then asked him a very dire important question .
WHO then LORD can be SAVED .
And JESUS did not say HE who puts horse in cart .
HE said WITH MAN this is IMPOSSIBLE .
BUT NOT WITH GOD .
Sister how did GOD choose to save the world .
GOD chose by the preaching of the gospel to save those who do what ............
BELEIVE .
SO anything or anyone implying BELIEF IN CHRIST is not necessary
IS calling GOD a liar . AND IT is a false g ospel .
DO NOT allow ecumeincalism inclusivism intefaith to be beleived . IT sells and has sold a LIE
to the false relgions and to christendom . And its growing like wild fire in high winds fed with white gas .
Get people warned about ecumeinalism now . It was always leading to this hour . They gonna merge
under a common lie and it will be their END on JESUS DAY .
