Hi dragonfly, It seems we won't agree on this one. Epi's doctrine was one of making Christ harder to attain and about perfect obedience to the commandments as proof of abiding in Christ, which he himself falied to do hence he was not abiding in Christ himself (hence Epi admitted that his...

Hi, I agree with others here that "repentance" is regret and a resultant change of mind maintaining that new constant attitude of the heart. We see with this new "constant attitude" that it is a once only repentance. There's no turning back. And what does scripture say of repentance? Heb...

Hi dragonfly and Axehead, I'm sure you agree that misunderstandings can easily occur on forums. We may not always use clear enough wording and then there are our own pre-concieved views etc that also hinder full understanding of another. Initially I asked Epi questions to clarify as best as...

Hi Axehead and dragonfly, Getting one's message across clearly on forums is not easy. Maybe we are sharing a similar understanding but the wording we each use and pre-conceptions etc causes misunderstandings It seems, like I asked you previously, that you 2 do not agree with Epi that perfect...

Hi Axehead, seekandfind, Epi and dragonfly, I might as well address all of you together since your all out to nail me at once :wacko: Being on the top end of the planet B) put's us in very different time zones. I see a lot of back-slappping and "Amen brother" has been going on between you all...

Hi seekandfind, Good scriptures, but you misunderstand them. I'm curious, as you indicated that you fail to keep the 10 commandments perfectly, how you stand considering your criticisms of those of us under grace only? For example, you quoted John 8:34 "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I...

Hi Rach, Interestingly, Epi, seekandfind and Axehead all judge righteousness by works of the law, claiming that the 10 commandments must be kept perfectly. Epi admits his lawlessness (transgression of the law) and accepts it's consequences. Under his own doctrine, he is not abiding in Christ...

Hi Dragonfly. I'm curious whether you follow the same doctrine of Episkopos that if you are not perfectly obeying the 10 commandments then your not abiding in Christ? Using your own life as an example, have you perfectly kept the 10 commandments since you became a Christian having repented?

Hi dragonfly, Again you are answering on behalf of Episkopos without first understanding what he is saying. Episkopos has said he knows of nobody with similar understanding of the truth like he has. Therefore he find's it lonely as he has nobody to fellowship with. From this we can see that he...

Hi Episkopos, God's free gift is clearly a big problem for the likes of you who are in the flesh. Christ is a stumbling stone for you just as he was for Israel. But for others here God's FREE gift is understood and thankfully received, giving praise to God for His love for us. Rom 5:15-18 "But...

Hi Episkopos, You assume too much in saying I'm a youth with a computer games champion mentality. But we see this same fantasy and assumption in your understanding on scriptures too. Even your fantasy that your an overseer over the church, reveals your error. You are wrong saying that I'm out...

Hi Episkopos, Sadly you have no relationship with God. You are one of those who say you know him, but then you deny Him through your false gospel of works of the law. Gal 2:16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in...

Hi Sr.Bandon, As you can see from Episkopos' response to your post above, his is a false gospel trying to deceive others away from the "mercy of Yahweh", as you said. Scripture offers many warnings that those like Episkopos would come trying to deceive others away from the grace of God. Gal...

Hi Episkopos, Christ is the Shepherd/Bishop/Overseer of our souls (1Pet 2:25). Your claim of being an overseer (Episkopos) over the church is merely your own fantasy, just as is your claim that you are one of the very few with understanding of scriptures. I say this out of recognizing that you...

Hi Episkopos, You said: "my username has to do with "visitation" from God. God is the inspector of our lives. He judges us now so that we escape judgment later. Only those who have been vetted in this way can then inspect the church as an overseer." Interesting that you see and appoint...

Hi SrBrandon, You questioned Episkopos on 1John 2:1,2, to which he replied with the following (which you did not understand) "This applies to all men. Christians are to abide in Christ." Below are some quotes from Episkopos that will help you see what his doctrine claims. This should help you...

Hi Episkopos, I'm still curious if you really do see yourself as a Bishop/Shepherd (Episkopos) over others? An answer to this question might help in understanding your real motivations. I'm sure you realize that forums can be confronting venues. But I do find it strange that you feel your...

Hi Katchit, I don't have OCD/ anxiety, depression as you described, but I think you'll find most of us suffer from anxiety/depression etc at times, to some degree anyway, so most here can relate somewhat to what your describing. I find whenever facing very difficult circumstances in life that...

Hi Episkopos, Really, it would be more appropriate to call you "Allotriepiskopos". After all it's Christ who is our shepherd, Bishop (1Pet 2:25) and not you. Just curious though whether you actually do see yourself as a Bishop/Shepherd/Overseer over other believers? Your claim that your...

Hi neophyte, You say the good thief on the cross did "good works as he hung on the cross". What "good works" was he doing whilst on the cross? He wasn't physically able to be tested to see if he could keep any of the 10 commandments hanging on the cross, so it can't be works of keeping the 10...
