    Trump has abandoned America First

    You are correct about one thing. Our hope is not in the flesh. Scripture is very clear on that. “In me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing” ~Romans 7:18. Salvation, sanctification and final glory all stand or fall with Christ alone. Scripture, however, never sets our hope in Christ...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    You keep saying the issue is “my interpretation,” but you have not shown a single verse I used out of context. Not one. Pointing to Scripture and quoting it plainly is not the same thing as twisting it. When God says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” ~Isaiah 5:20, that is not my...

    Federal Troops in Washington DC

    Scripture doesn’t say self defense is unsafe or immoral. The Bible never condemns the tool. The problem is always the human heart. Jesus told His disciples “He who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one” ~Luke 22:36. The sword was the basic self-protection tool of that day. Jesus...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    You accused me of beating an old drum of “I am right and they are wrong.” That is not what is happening. I am pointing to what God has already called right and wrong. Scripture is not my opinion. “Let God be true, but every man a liar” ~Romans 3:4. When the Word speaks, the debate is over. You...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    The bigger issue is not personality, it is platforms. The other choice was a party that openly pushes what God calls sin in our face. They defend killing unborn babies ~Exodus 20:13, redefine gender and marriage against Scripture ~Genesis 1:27; ~Romans 1:26–27, promote confusion instead of order...

    When Jesus Pulls Back the Curtain

    Revelation 1:1–20 Revelation does not open with a whisper. It opens with a curtain being yanked back so you can see Jesus like you’ve never seen Him. Scripture says this book is “the revelation of Jesus Christ” ~Revelation 1:1. That means God is not trying to hide anything from you. He is...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    What you just said proves you are not hearing from God at all. The Bible does not leave this topic open. There is zero mystery here. Scripture says Satan is not reconciled, will never be reconciled, and is already judged. Jesus said, “The ruler of this world is judged” ~John 16:11. He is...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You are doing what Satan did. You trust your own feelings more than God’s Word. Satan’s lie was “your thoughts are better than what God said” ~Genesis 3:1-5. You are doing the same thing. God calls us to deny ourselves ~Luke 9:23. You are exalting yourself. When you follow your feelings instead...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You are not describing the new birth the Bible teaches. You are describing a system where your imagination has become your authority. Scripture never says the new heart or the mind of Christ turns human imagination into a channel for new revelation. That idea does not come from the Word of God...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Testing the spirits is not limited to sorting out which human prophet is true. Scripture says “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God” ~1 John 4:1. John does not say “test the prophets.” He says test the spirits. Why? Because false teaching does not...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    It looks like we were actually talking about two different things without realizing it. I was dealing specifically with Hebrews 10 and the claim that “sin is no longer an issue for the saved.” That was the only point I was addressing. Your reply shifted into ecumenism, apostasy, and the false...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You’re creating a false choice that Scripture does not make. An intimate relationship with God does not come from chasing inner voices. It comes through the Word He breathed out. Jesus said, “If a man love Me, he will keep My words” ~John 14:23. Not his feelings. Not his impressions. His words...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Your analogy breaks down the moment you try to apply it to God. You’re describing human parenting, not divine revelation. God does not give different truths to different people. He does not contradict Himself. He does not deliver “customized doctrines” or private revelations based on someone’s...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You’re missing the point on purpose. No one said the Spirit only “quotes the KJV word-for-word.” The issue is not the translation. The issue is authority. The Spirit never gives new doctrine, new truth, or new revelation beside the Scriptures. When He speaks, He applies the Word God already...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You’re proving the very problem. God does not say one thing to you and the opposite to me. Truth is not personalized. God does not contradict Himself. He does not tailor revelation to individual feelings. The Bible says, “God is not the author of confusion” ~1 Corinthians 14:33. And no, the...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You’re not “exploring God beyond Scripture.” You are building an idol in your own head and following it. The Holy Spirit never leads anyone away from the Word He breathed out. When you trust inner voices and private impressions over Scripture, you are not being spiritual. You are being deceived...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    When I say “God breathed,” I am using the literal words of Scripture. Paul said, “All Scripture is God-breathed” ~2 Timothy 3:16. The Greek word is theopneustos. It means the Scriptures were breathed out from the mouth of God Himself. Not man. Not imagination. Not private impressions. So when...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    The gifts you listed are real, but none of them mean new revelation. Not one. Paul never said “word of wisdom” or “word of knowledge” is new truth from God. He said the gifts are for the profit of the church, not for rewriting or adding to Scripture. The Spirit’s gifts apply the truth God...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You’re not Paul, and you’re not John. Nothing you’re doing looks anything like what they taught or lived. They never treated imagination as revelation, and they never told anyone to follow inner pictures or private impressions. Jesus didn’t tell people to trust whatever comes into their mind. He...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    This is not the Spirit of God. You speak as if your interior thoughts and feelings are some kind of passage to greater intimacy with God. But Scripture never describes the Spirit that way. The Spirit brings people into truth, not into emotional experiences that cannot be tested by the Word. When...
