You have just refuted yourself. Yes, those passages tell the hearers to test what they hear. That is exactly why your claim that “proof is not required” is false. God commands His people to judge the words of anyone claiming to speak for Him. “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the...

This does not actually address what I wrote about tolerating false doctrine. It appears to redirect the discussion toward “passive aggressiveness,” but you have not shown where anything in my post was passive-aggressive or contrary to Scripture. Some of the claims in what you posted also go...

That was a sobering account. Your workmate was right to reject what was being falsely presented as the work of the Holy Spirit. Scripture tells us to “try the spirits whether they are of God” (1 John 4:1). Not everything called a spiritual gift is from God. I would only be careful about...

You are now comparing rejection of your personal claim with rejection of Jesus Christ. That is a very serious comparison, and you still have not proved it. Jesus did not demand blind acceptance. He pointed to the witnesses that confirmed who He was: John the Baptist, His works, the Father, and...

No, mocking is determined by how someone speaks. A rebuke is determined by whether it is true and grounded in Scripture. Your claim that “proof is not required” is flatly unbiblical. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God” (1 John 4:1). “Prove all...

I am done with this exchange. You repeatedly refused to answer the actual question and kept turning the discussion into personal accusations. I will not continue arguing in circles. “But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes” (2 Timothy 2:23). I am placing...

What is my side? Yes, you're correct: the actual Biblical side. You still have not answered the question. You accused me of ignoring the whole counsel of God. Quote the exact statement I made and show the exact Scripture that proves it wrong. Oswald Chambers and Christmas have nothing to do with...

You have dodged the question again. You accused me of ignoring the whole counsel of God. I asked you to show the specific Scripture I ignored and the specific statement I made that contradicts it. Instead of answering, you changed the subject and searched through unrelated posts. That is not...

Repeating my question does not answer it. You accused me of ignoring part of God’s Word, so show the specific Scripture I ignored and explain what I said that contradicts it. If you cannot do that, then you should withdraw the accusation.

Correcting false doctrine is not the same as starting arguments. However, calling people “tares” and implying that they are followers of the devil because they disagree with you goes beyond correcting doctrine. You may judge what someone teaches by Scripture, but you cannot claim to know that...

There is truth here that should be recognized. The church is not a building. It is the people who belong to Christ, and Christ alone is “the head of the body, the church” (Colossians 1:18). However, we should be careful not to go beyond what Scripture says. The New Testament records believers...

I apologize because I did not explain what I meant clearly. I am not denying your testimony, and I am not saying the Holy Spirit does not lead believers. Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” What I am saying is that being led by the Holy...

I apologize. I worded that poorly. I am not questioning your sincerity or denying your testimony. My point is only that when someone believes the Holy Spirit revealed something, Scripture tells us to test that claim by the Word of God. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits...

Your personal testimony may be evidence of what you believe happened to you, but it is not self-authenticating proof that the Holy Spirit gave you revelation. I do believe the Holy Spirit guides believers and may direct us in what we should do. But that is different from claiming personal...

You have not disproved my point. You have demonstrated it. You are claiming that the Holy Spirit gave you a message that was not found in Scripture. The fact that the message did not contradict the Bible does not prove that God spoke it. Countless claims could be made that do not directly...

You say, “Proof is not required” is exactly the problem. You are making a public claim that God sent you and that your book fulfills Revelation 10. Scripture requires that such claims be tested. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). “Beloved, believe not every...

I am not mocking you. I am rebuking you. You keep calling correction “mockery” instead of answering the biblical questions. Saying that God gave you this truth does not prove that He did. Your claim must still be tested by Scripture. “You say God knows.” He does. That is why you should fear...

When a Man Claims God Sent Him Readers of this thread need to understand what is actually being claimed here. ScottA is not merely offering a personal interpretation of Revelation. He presents himself as a man sent by God, connects his own book with the “little book” of Revelation 10, and then...

Saying, “I have not claimed anything that is mine,” does not answer the issue. You are still the man making the claim. You are the one presenting your words and your book as coming from God. Calling the claim God’s instead of yours does not prove that God actually gave it to you. You have...

What you are doing is deceptive. You claim that Christ sent you, that your book reproduces the “little scroll” of Revelation 10, and then you claim that anyone who judges your claim is speaking against the Spirit. That is circular reasoning designed to place you beyond examination. You are using...
