I am sure you have your position, why do you not share it?
Scripture is clear, confession, faith, repentance etc.
without Scripture, things contrary to all Scripture, and thus has not Scripture Basis for a lot they believe, and much is false in what they were taught.

I asked you first peter,

how are we washed and made pure
I have answered you, or is this a problem you have, declaring your own positions?
Maybe because you cannot be made pure like Paul was.
Jesus cleanses us when we come to faith, we are made His children, pure, holy and blessed.

This is so fundamental to our walk, and our starting in Christ, it is a wonder some find it hard to articulate.
God bless you

Or maybe if one is not actually saved and never been purified it seems such a mystery. And in the eternal perspective this would be very true.

The prodigal son was dead, lost, doomed.
The point of the story was the son spent the fathers inheritance, and the father could have rejected him.

I have heard others speak like you, saying the prodigal son was not lost or dead, just temporarily on holiday.
No holiday maker is dead or lost, but if you want to change a parable to placate your theology, it is your choice, but it is not what Jesus is saying. It demonstrates what dominates your thinking above scripture. God bless you
The point of the story is not that he spent his inheritance, it was that he was a fool who was lead astray, not worthy of God but came back and did not have an inheritance, that went to the other brother.

You lied in so many posts against me, I lost count.
If a woman did not teach you, fine, I said or indicated taht it was not known and thus could be a man. But no matter who taught you, how is that sexual harrasment ? (you are a male, are you not)

The things you posted were so far, not found in Scripture (that you were asked about, a few times),
and
when you asked me to explain my posts, from Scripture , I DID.

When I asked you to explain your contrary to Scripture posts, you DID NOT. Thus, what are we to think?

What kind of teacher, whether man or woman, would teach you contrary to Scripture ?!

Go ahead and prove it, I proved otherwise

what you did was wrong, and I am sick of you bearing false witness, then you had to attack women, as if they are not good teachers,

I will leave you to the mods

Yet his father gave him his inheritance. So this comment makes no sense, can you explain please?

You had no basis at all for your errors, which I proceeded step by step to show you when you asked, from Scripture.

You have no Scripture at all for your views, when asked, and now attack instead of provide any Scripture ?! Good Witness.

Women according to Scripture are not always good teachers, are they ? (though some have been).

Your errors sound more and more like feminists errors, so it was a natural guess that you were taught by a woman (just a guess, until you reacted) .

Israel was God chosen people but they were rejected, and died in the desert, so yes, the children of God can be rejected. Paul said we are grafted into the people of God because the jews got rejected.

We are warned not to fall into the same sin as Israel and therefore end up rejected also, but it appears you do not accept what Paul is saying. God bless you
Israel are the true servants of God and the Tribe failed due to the workings of Satan as were the Jews, but some of the Israelites were still true to God in fact, called the remain, we see this in they who followed Jesus Christ, as Jesus said to Nathaniel that he was a true Israelite and we see where Jesus said to his disciples go to the Israelites and if they reject you, to leave from such people directly and take nothing at all from them at all, not even the sand on their sandals. because such who claim to be Israelites are not truly worthy of being an Israelite at all in fact.

One is grafted in as regards to abiding in the Tree, just as anyone is. It's a Spiritual Tree ? Satan claims that the Jews are a race, but they were a Spiritual Tribe as it's foundation in God. One tribe of Semitic people out of many Semitic Tribes back in the days in fact.

Satan works create delusions among people, so we see nowadays that their is a great stupid taboos made up, like the concept of Anti-Semitic ? this is pathetic ! no Christian is debating about the Race of the so called Jews at all, not to mention that Islam is like 90% of the Semitic people nowadays. fact is that Christianity is not talking about a Race of people at all, in fact it says that under Christianity their is nether Jew or Gentile, anyone who claims otherwise is of Satan !
The Jews today are not worthy at all because they are totally lost as to Jesus Christ in fact, remember that No one comes to the Father but through his only begotten Son. So they who do not have the Holy Spirit are total lost as to God.
There are only about 10% of people in the world today who could even be regarded as worthy Jews in the world today, only because they abide in the OT, the rest claiming to be Jews are not even worthy of that.
It has nothing to do with ones Race at all ! and anyone who has the Holy Spirit knows that's a fact. no ones Race is going to Save you ! it does not work like that. the Jews back in the day were regarded as worthy of God and that's why they were chosen.

Idolising People is a great Sin, such is only worthy of Satan.

KJV John 14
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

In that passage He is speaking of the Apostles only. According to your interpretation of that passage ALL Christians will be taught “all things”
Jesus told the apostles that the holy Spirit would teach them all things. Yet you disagree. You didn't answer my questions.
A. On whose interpretation are you relying that only the apostles were taught by God?
B. Why do you believe none can be taught of God today?

Keep in mind the following...
KJV Matthew 28
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus' promise to be with the apostles until the end of the world... Did that apply only to the apostles?

< shrugs > it was just a guess.... and his reaction indicates it was too close to the truth... but it could well be a man as well - like I said I was just guessing.
Perhaps you shouldn't just guess while accusing? Right? You know the "meaning of assume?" Yes?

I thought Jesus Promised to be with all His born again sheep , and never, not ever, no never desert them ?
(Hebrews 13 I think)
How could His sheep Hear His Voice and Follow Him all the time, if He deserted them ?

And His Promise: Hebrews 13:5 AMP
AMP
Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”
