    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    That’s not true. While it’s correct that the full payment for sin was made at the cross, the Bible is clear that people were saved by faith before the cross, not just after. Abraham was saved long before Jesus died, and Scripture says clearly, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    This is one of those questions that assumes Jesus needed Judas in order for God’s plan to succeed, but that is a flawed way of thinking. Scripture never says that Judas was necessary for Christ to die on the cross. What the Bible teaches is that Jesus came to lay down His life willingly, and...

    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

    The irony of your entire post is that you are the exact warning of original post (OP) is talking about, a deceiver who cloaks error in religious-sounding language, twisting Scripture while pretending to defend it. You named yourself after a known heretic, “Origen”, and you continue to promote...

    "Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink." ~ Dwight L. Moody

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You boast like you have some secret knowledge, but what you're doing is perverting God’s Word to fit your own ideas. You quote Jeremiah 5:14 completely out of context. That verse is not about believers breathing fire through the gospel, it’s about God declaring judgment on a rebellious people...

    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

    You’re making some serious assumptions that don’t line up with what the Bible actually says. First, yes, when the Bible says an angel appeared, it typically means a visible, physical appearance. That part is true. Angels showed up in person to Mary (Luke 1:26–28), to the shepherds (Luke 2:9)...

    SENT ME NOT TO BAPTIZE

    The Scriptures clearly present baptism as a sign of repentance and faith in Jesus, as commanded by Christ in Matthew 28:19 and echoed in Mark 16:16. However, it is not biblical to claim that Paul “stopped baptizing” because Israel was diminished or because the coming kingdom was delayed. Nowhere...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Yes, I know exactly what Scripture says about the two witnesses “spewing fire,” and so should you if you're going to quote it. Revelation 11:5 says, “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies, and if any man will hurt them, he must in this...

    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

    You're right to take 2 Corinthians 11:14 literally, Satan does transform himself into an angel of light. But where your response starts to drift is when you shift the focus to feelings, impressions, and subjective “alarms going off.” That’s not how the Bible tells us to discern truth. Scripture...

    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 reference to Satan masquerading as an angel of light is accurate, but your conclusion is not. You said, “feelings are testified by deeds,” but that’s not a biblical standard for testing spirits. The Bible never tells us to evaluate spiritual truth by feelings. In fact, Scripture warns us...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    I’m going to end the conversation here. You’ve made it clear that you’re more interested in defending your own theory than submitting to what the Bible actually says. When someone resorts to name-calling instead of rightly handling the Word of God, it shows they’re not interested in truth. The...

    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

    That statement you shared is not biblical and leads people into dangerous, mystical thinking that has no foundation in the Word of God. The idea that we can discern whether something comes from God or from Satan based on how it “feels,” whether it brings peace or disturbance, is completely...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Actually, I did say why Revelation 11:4 combines the two symbols, because the text literally says it does. You're acting like this is my opinion, but look at the verse: "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." (Revelation 11:4) That is the...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You’re putting words in my mouth that I never said, and misrepresenting the conversation entirely. I never claimed Revelation 12 should be taken 100% literally without recognizing symbolic language. What I stand on is what the Bible actually says, not assumptions and man-made conclusions added...

    I Have Lost None: The Fierce Protection of Christ

    This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” ~ John 18:9 When Jesus stood in the garden facing betrayal and arrest, He didn’t just think of Himself. He stepped forward to shield His disciples, saying, “If you seek me, let these go their way”...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Revelation 11 says what it says. The two witnesses are not symbols of ideas, they are two actual people God will raise up in the future. The Bible never says, "These two are the law and the prophets." That is something you're adding into the text. When God uses symbols, He explains them, like...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    Repeating a false teaching does not make it true. Again, you keep saying the world is already reconciled to God and we just have to “receive” it. That’s not what the Bible says. You’re twisting Scripture to make it sound like everyone is already right with God before they repent. That’s false...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    No, I’m not the one bullying anyone. I’ve simply stood on Scripture and defended the truth. If pointing to what the Bible actually says offends you, that’s not bullying, that’s conviction. I’ve kept my responses focused on the Word of God, while you’ve responded with personal attacks. Don’t...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    You keep threatening to “report” me as if that will somehow cancel the Word of God. I’m not moved by your warnings, and I’m not intimidated by your offense. You have not been falsely accused. What you are promoting is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s a counterfeit message that separates...
