    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    What you’re saying is confusing and not biblical. Let’s stick to what the Bible actually says. First, Judas wasn’t just some lost guy who needed to be born again. Jesus called him “a devil” (John 6:70) and “the son of perdition” (John 17:12). Jesus even said “It had been good for that man if he...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    TribulationSigns, your attitude and accusations show that you're more interested in provoking than understanding. You quoted John 7:24, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment,” but you misuse it. That verse is a rebuke of hypocritical or surface-level judgment, not...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    You're quoting both Ephesians 1:13–14 and John 8, but you're trying to force them into a framework the Bible doesn’t actually teach. Let’s stick to what the text says in context, using only Scripture. Ephesians 1:13 says plainly, “In Him ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    You're quoting Ephesians 1, but you're making it say something it doesn’t say. The text speaks of believers being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), but nowhere does it say that only a fixed, exclusive group was chosen while everyone else was predestined to be...

    Reading but Never Seeing: Why Scripture Remains Hidden to the Lost

    you’re quoting Scripture, but your conclusions go beyond what the text actually says. Yes, Romans 8:29–30 speaks of God foreknowing, predestining, calling, justifying, and glorifying, but that chain applies to those who are in Christ, not to some secret group with no choice in the matter. The...

    Judas Went to His Own Place – A Biblical Verdict of Eternal Judgment

    … to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” ~ Acts 1:25 Acts 1:25 says that Judas, “by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” This verse is not talking about ministry transition or an earthly resting place. It...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    Jesus did not merely “admit” something vague, and He was not speaking in riddles. He gave a clear and powerful answer rooted in eternal truth. When Pilate asked Him about being a king, Jesus said, “Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    Your entire line of reasoning is flawed because you continue to trust your feelings over the authority of Scripture. That is not what the Bible teaches. Nowhere does Scripture say that feelings are an “unerring way” to know whether something is from God. In fact, the opposite is true. Proverbs...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Once again, you're response is not biblical. The role of God’s witnesses is not to go around declaring judgment based on personal offense or imagined authority. Scripture defines the purpose of witnessing clearly: it is to proclaim the gospel and call people to repentance through the truth of...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    You’re completely wrong. I have never claimed to be God or to know everything, and I’ve never once said I understand the Bible perfectly. What I have said, and will keep saying, is that I can read and I believe what the Bible actually says. I’m not giving you my opinion, I’m quoting the Word of...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    I’ve shown you Scripture, and you continue to elevate feelings and subjective experiences above the authority of God’s Word. That is the root of your error. You are a false teacher. The Bible does not say to test spirits by how we feel. It says, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    Genuine faith, according to the Bible, is not just belief in the facts about Jesus, but personal trust in Him that results in obedience. James 2:17 says, “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” That means real faith will always be followed by evidence. Hebrews 11 shows that those...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    No, that’s not biblical. The Bible doesn’t leave Judas’ fate a mystery. Jesus said plainly, “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” (John 6:70). He also called Judas “the son of perdition” and said he was lost so that the Scripture would be fulfilled (John 17:12). That’s not a...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    You’re right to say not everything that looks like repentance actually is. The Bible makes a clear distinction between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. Paul wrote, “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death” (2 Corinthians...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    “So, what does "changing one's mind" look like, exactly? What does "truly repent" mean?” Changing one’s mind looks like rejecting your former view of sin and embracing God’s view. It means acknowledging that sin is rebellion against God, not just a personal failure. It is when a person no...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I figured you’d reply, since you’ve been quick to defend Judas. But honestly, it would be far better to defend the truth of the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ instead. That’s the side that matters. I’ve answered from Scripture, plainly and in context. If you're not actually here to learn or...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    Watchman Nee’s The Spiritual Manc may contain some biblical phrases, but the structure, framework, and mystical teachings go beyond Scripture and often contradict it. Colossians 2:8 warns us, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    Wow, I honestly didn’t expect to see so many people on a Christian forum defending Judas. That’s really sad. Most people wouldn’t even name their dog Judas, but it seems like some here would name their child Judas because they think he was just a misunderstood guy. That’s not just concerning, it...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I’ve answered from Scripture, plainly and in context. If you're not actually here to learn or consider what the Bible says, but just want to keep pushing your own view no matter what, then I'm not continuing the discussion. I'm here to help those who genuinely want to understand God’s Word, not...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I answered your question clearly and biblically. You just didn’t like the answer because it doesn’t support your assumption. That doesn’t make it wrong. It just means your argument has no scriptural foundation. Let me ask you something straight: why are you defending Judas? And more...
