That's a funny way of "Just trying to understand" when you say something like this, "You’re statement seems to show a lack of perspective." But, I'll accept your statement as sincere.

You completely misunderstand. If a person was heavily into philosophy, new age, and the occult before coming to Christ, then they are going to be more sensitive to those ruts in the road when they come up and warn people about them...more than one who hasn't. So why are we jumping on brothers...

It's sort of like, I hear others saying, "Truth is not that important...and that's the truth!" That was my point. The 1Cor13 statement was just an aside.

Having been a Christian for 44 years and in His Word I have become quite accustomed to His voice. Plus the fact as a born again Christian I have the Author of Scripture aiding in discernment. God has gifted us differently and with unique burdens. That depends. If it is something like the timing...

Perhaps because they have been on that road lol.

As each of you are attempting to express the truth of the matter that love is the greatest, even greater than truth, I keep scratching my head. (Was the word 'truth' even in 1Cor 13?)

As I said, love will speak the truth and not stand by and sweetly smile while someone is heading for destruction or when God's Word and character is being besmirched. Jesus had harsh words for the self righteous and that opposed God's Word, but tenderly helped those who opposed themselves and...

My preference is to speak the truth, and...if possible, in love :) (actually, speaking the truth is loving compared to allowing someone to wallow in error).

And coming from Christians to boot, is the sad part.

Yes, I was quite shocked to be reading some of this stuff. It seems to be not just prevalent here but in many forums. Postmodernism mixed with 'Christian' Mysticism on steroids.

Please explain how I read wrong, I am listening. :)

But when satan lifts his head in accusation against God's Word, through others, I won't sit silent.

You appear to be exalting your word above that of Scripture. It says what it means and means what it says. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isa 8:20) I maintain that God is besmearched by those who denigrate His...

A very poisonous and antichrist type statement. You might as well say 'Hath God said?", especially in a culture that is increasing in illiteracy of the bible. The Holy Spirit and God's written word work in conjunction with each other. Acts 4:12 KJVS [12] Neither is there salvation in any other...

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, And dung calling itself a rose, would squish between your feet.

I didn't say no one said that, I was giving the proof (post #261) in an indirect way that was asked for in the OP.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (Joh 3:16-17)

OK, so no one is elect? No one can know for sure, even though, that at one time they despised the Galilean Jew who hung on a cross, but now their only hope is in Him. Even though they mocked at made fun of His children they now consider it to be an honor to be counted amongst the redeemed. Even...

No, I see you automatically assumed I am trying to find a way to contradict what you are saying, and then insult my understanding. I'm sorry, I can't communicate with overly defensive souls. Have a nice life.

Actually, we are freed from sin by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ... Romans 6:6-7 KJVS [6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. And we are...
