I haven’t asked anyone to agree with my opinion. I’ve pointed to specific passages and quoted them in context. If what I’ve said is wrong, then show from Scripture where the text teaches something different. The standard is not my understanding or yours. The standard is what is written. “Let...

You are correct. There is a mixture that is illustrated in scripture. Jesus told us, “Let both grow together until the harvest.” (Matthew 13: 30) Some who appear to be wheat, are not wheat. “They went out from us, but they were not of us.” (1 John 2:19) However we also need to know when to make...

You quoted 1 Corinthians 2:9–14. Notice that passage answers your point if we actually read it in context. “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit” (v. 10). Who is the “us”? Contextually, it is the apostles. “Which things also we speak”. They spoke what the Spirit revealed to them...

Paul did NOT have the completed New Testament laid out in front of him when he lived and preached. What he had were the Old Testament Scriptures (“the holy scriptures” in 2 Tim. 3:15). Several books of the New Testament were still being written during Paul’s life time. Paul wrote the majority of...

You’re asking questions from a denominational framework, not from what Scripture actually says. Scripture does not condemn someone based on tone, personality, or supposed extra spiritual experiences. God’s Word is the standard for truth. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not...

I’m not sure where some of this is coming from, because I never said what you’re responding to. I didn’t claim ongoing revelation, and I didn’t deny illumination. My question was simply whether spiritual growth is new revelation beyond Scripture or deeper understanding and obedience to what God...

There is so much wrong doctrine here that needs to be addressed for the sake of readers. Scripture does not teach that there was an “Oral Torah” given to Moses before Sinai which was later written down. That concept is Rabbinic, not Biblical. Scripture teaches that the Law was spoken and...

Notice how the discussion just shifted away from Scripture to background and affiliation. That move is telling, and Scripture does not allow it. The Bible does not ground truth in denominational labels or theological tribes. It grounds truth in what has been written in the Bible. Yes, believers...

This is simply false teaching. You are trying to redefine “believeth on Him” in such a way as to discard the work God sent His Son to do. Scripture never talks about believing in Jesus this way. Jesus defines what it means to believe in Him. “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the...

That claim is false, and it’s dangerous, because it pits Scripture against Scripture and turns Paul into a private oracle. The resurrection was not “revealed only to Paul.” God revealed it before Paul was even converted, and Peter preached it openly. Peter preached the resurrection from the...

This is not complicated, and it is not a matter of interpretation style. It is a matter of reading what the text actually says. You say Peter did not preach the death and resurrection in Acts 10. That is flatly false. The passage says Peter testified that Jesus was slain and raised. Those are...

Yes, what you're saying can be true if we keep it within biblical guardrails, and those guardrails count. When someone is truly born again and steps into walking in obedience, Scripture becomes plain when it never did before. Jesus told us a man must be born again to see. ~John 3: 3 Paul told us...

This is not my opinion. What I am saying is what the Bible teaches, and what you are saying goes beyond it. Your, “agree to disagree” is not a biblical category when truth is at stake. Scripture does not say truth is settled by mutual tolerance. It says, “Let God be true, but every man a liar”...

You are absolutely right that God is not calling us to love Him with an unregenerate, flesh-driven mind. The carnal mind is hostile toward God ~Romans 8:7, and the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit ~1 Corinthians 2:14. Salvation brings a new orientation. God renews the mind...

When someone continually suppresses or perverts the gospel, Scripture allows us to doubt that they know Christ. John is clear: “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” ~1 John 2:4. The gospel that elevates experience and secret...

Laurina, You are mistaking revealed truth with secret truth, and Scripture forbids that. You don't have to agree with me. What I am showing is actually in the bible and not made up, like you are defending. But the bad thing is you will answer to God for leading people away from His word. Stop...

Laurina, this isn't persecution. It's discernment. Epikopos is a false teacher because what he teaches DOES NOT LINE UP WITH SCRIPTURE. Our God commands us to TEST every teaching...not affirmatively accept every teaching based on feelings/experiences/claims of inner-revelation. "Beloved...

Most of what you wrote is biblical. Christ did die for our sins, was buried, and rose again ~1 Corinthians 15:3–4. Salvation is of grace and not of works ~Ephesians 2:8–9. Christ is our substitute and our justification is because of His resurrection ~Romans 4:25. On those points, Scripture is...

This is a reply to all the false teachings you replied to me about. You are not reading Scripture plainly. You are forcing it into a system that requires you to deny what the text explicitly says. Peter did not merely “condemn Israel.” He preached Christ crucified and risen, and he did so as...

Some prayers aren’t shouted they’re whispered. Some confessions come tumbling out of a man when the room finally falls silent and there is nowhere left to run. That’s where this song lives. You can hear it exhale dust; when a soul learns God is not a means to our ends and sin always leaves...
