    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...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Listen, what you are calling “hearing from God” is not from God at all. Scripture already told you what this is. You’re not stepping into some higher spiritual place. You’re opening yourself up to spirits that do not speak for the Lord. You keep lifting your own inner voice above the Word of...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    No, I don’t need to have heard every word Jesus spoke while on this earth, but that does not give you room to say He is teaching you new things. The Bible tells us how we know what Christ taught. He said the Spirit would remind His disciples of what He had said, not bring new teachings. The...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    You’re not responding to anything I actually said. Nothing in your post addresses the point being discussed. I corrected a claim that “sin is no longer an issue” for the saved because Scripture says sin always matters. That was the topic. You shifted into things no one here mentioned. Scripture...

    Playing with Fire: The Cost of Willful Sin

    What you are now claiming directly conflicts with Scripture. You said sin “does not matter as far as salvation is concerned,” but the Bible says sin reveals the true condition of a person’s heart. “Whoever says ‘I know Him’ and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    You are not following the Spirit of God. You are following the god of this world. Scripture says “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” ~1 John 5:19. Any spirit that leads you away from the Word God breathed is not the Holy Spirit. It is a deceiving spirit. And unless you turn to...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    What you just said proves exactly why this must be corrected. You are trying to hide your false teaching behind an accusation of “Pharisees,” but that has nothing to do with what is happening here. The Pharisees rejected the Word of God for the traditions of men. You are doing the same thing by...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    It is very clear from Scripture that what you are talking about does not come from the Spirit of God. The Bible is very clear in saying the Holy Spirit does not lead a person away from the Word that He inspired. You freely admitted you “rarely consult the Scriptures these days”, yet you talk of...

    Genesis 28:10-22 "WHO" is Jacob's Ladder? (John 1:51)

    What you shared has several ideas in it that Scripture never teaches. God warns us against adding to what He has spoken. “You shall not add to the word which I command you nor take from it” ~Deuteronomy 4:2. The safest and most faithful path is to remain with what the text actually says...

    My first Christmas Song

    Bethlehem’s Promised King This is my first Country Christmas Song Bethlehem’s Promised King is a gritty country Christmas song that returns Christmas to what Scripture declares it to be. No sugar coating. No polished tinsel. Just the raw truth of a Savior born into a cold, rough world to save...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You call yourself “Episkopos,” but the Scriptures make it clear that you are not qualified to be an overseer at all. An overseer must “hold fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers” ~Titus 1:9. You do not...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You talk as if you know the truth, but what you are saying bears no resemblance to the Bible. You have no idea what you are talking about, and it is evident every time you contort a verse to try to support your foolish notions. The Word of God is making it clear to all. “If they do not speak...
