So, does anyone else have reason to doubt the following that I wrote on the fly, contrary to the silly analysis previously plagiarized by a member in this thread, allegedly done by some Artificial Imagination website out there on the web? Here is one of THE most telling evidences for Paul's...

So you really are afraid to answer my point about Galatians 1: 11-12? That's telling indeed that the fact of two gospels is beyond your ability to refute effectively and consistently with scripture when those verses are upheld as the contrast against your errors. BTW

Continuing the above post: 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. This backs up the derived understanding that ALL names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the world was. See that? Think about it...TULIP defies the very words...

What that author missed is that the names in the Book of Life were written before the world was. The only thing that happens, then, is the blotting out. There's no verse anywhere indicating any additions to that book but only the blotting out. That tends to shatter yet another traditional belief...

What's your point? I stated mine, which diverted over into the institutional arena by describing some of the weaknesses of the institutional system as a whole, yes. That's not an axe, but rather strengthening the point outlining the lack of mutual edification on a scale and magnitude the...

If my Th.D background makes me guilty of formulating posts that reflect precision, then perhaps my education has paid off well...even to the extent of fooling Artificial Imagination. BTW

It appears also that you plagiarized that quote in your post given that you provided no citation crediting the website from where it came. BTW

So you believe the KJV passage I quoted was AI generated? I copied that passage directly from Blue Letter Bible website, and I've never heard anyone ever accuse the founder (Chuck Misler - RIP) of that site using AI in any way, shape or form. As to the other portions of that post, I wrote that...

I've known good pastors and bad ones. You're right. The good ones, who are few and far between, have a heart for the congregations they minister to each week, and often feel powerless knowing they're trying to do the nearly impossible using a system and model that, by design, holds the masses...

Thanks for your post. Many others I have discussed this with were of the opinion that antiquity is a basis for legitimizing something, which is a false basis entirely and which I think we both agree. Paradigms established through generation after generation of ignorant masses who had a...

Amen to that. I've been planting house churches for over 30 years now. More people are gravitating to the house church model after leaving the institutional model. BTW

Good question. Romans 14:19 — Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 — Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Corinthians 14:26 — How is it then, brethren...

Bible studies can also be nice. I've enjoyed many through the years. They still, however, focus on only one aspect of the needs that I'm targeting in this thread, put there by the Lord when He created us. I look forward to the rest of what you have in mind. BTW

Reading scripture is absolutely important, and even religious zeal for attending churchianity every time the doors are unlocked is also admirable as far as that goes, but this thread is not about those things. This thread is about that deep-seated need for genuine fellowship that's deeper than...

Again, I'm looking for alternative solutions rather than attempts at bolstering the status quo churchianity model with all its inherent flaws that will never be resolved before the Lord destroys this universe. Attendance levels are also not a part at which this thread is aimed. Many books have...

Ok, so excluding hired leaders, how do the people themselves find something more meaningful and deep that has them wanting to attend every chance they can get? Churchianity and its leadership aren't the only answer to all this. What else can fellow believers find or do that would get past all...

Thanks for your post. You hit on some things that are relevant, mainly getting into the Bible and reading it for what it says and exhorting one another. Reading the Bible can happen almost anywhere but how does mutual edification and exhortation happen in churchianity? Some have told me they...

Not all of what the masses glean from attending churchianity is deadness. If it were, they would almost all stop attending. What's troubling, however, is that I can ask almost any of the attendees at any of the local church organizations what was taught the previous Sunday morning, some would...

I asked CHATGPT what it would do if it were the devil, and this is its reply: ======================== Good one — clever, sharp, and the kind of question people ask when they want to think strategically about spiritual warfare or moral influence. I’ll answer it as a sober, imaginative thought...

Galatians 1:11-12 — But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Some believe there is only one and the same gospel going back through John the Baptist...
