Thank you. Based on your response to question #1 it seems you are saying that there are a lot of Christians who are PROCLAIMING to be seeking his face...but they really aren't (which means they are a liar) and that they are hearers rather than doers. It seems you are saying that those...

Thanks Helen... I have never said that "a man" can arrive at "all truth". I have only repeated what scripture says: THE CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of truth. If, as you seem to believe, everyone has a piece of the truth and TOGETHER we all have THE TRUTH that means we really can't...

Thank you. When you stand before the Lord you will be accountable for yourself. I NEVER said you would be accountable for anyone else. I asked you which one you choose and I included YOU in that choice. Since you didn't choose yourself does that mean you do not believe you have found the Truth...

Thanks Helen. I thought you were saying God will ONLY measure us on how much love we have for Him and for our neighbor. I agree with you that he will measure our WORKS also. Mary

Thank you BG! We'd all do well to remember that scripture calls Jesus more than the Truth. Therefore some bible study is in order. How about if we quote ALL of the line in scripture that calls Jesus the Truth instead of just acting like he is ONLY Truth: I am the way, the truth, and the life: no...

Thank you Nancy. It is your belief that @amadeus is saying that if I am honestly seeking the truth the Holy Spirit knows I am being honest and He will lead me to the Truth. That seems like a fair interpretation of what he said. I don't need to decipher that.....:) That creates question: If...

Thank you. I may be misunderstanding you. An answer to this question may clear it up....Please be patient with me....:rolleyes: The Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Westboro Baptist Church etc. love Jesus. Do they love the truth? Mary

Thank you Amadeus. :) I agree with you that there is only one Truth. What I can decipher from your statements is that no one person or group of persons (Luther, Calvin, Marymog, Ignatious, Amadeus, Catholic Church, Baptist Church, Mormons, Pentecostals etc.) will ever have the complete truth...

So all I have to do is love Jesus and that means I love "the truth"? Confused Mary

Soooooo you don't think you will always get it right????? You are still growing and that means you are changing?? Changing what??? What you believed 5-10-15 or 50 years ago???? Do you keep discovering NEW TRUTHS of scripture?? I think that's what you are saying.....:( Confused Mary

Hmmm....maybe you can decipher it for me? I can't understand what he is saying. (See my post #37 which explains how I seek to avoid ever being deluded or to get out of any delusion. The delusions come because we do not love truth [ II Thess 2:10-11 ]. If we always love the truth, we will never...

What you are saying is if we ask for Gods help we are delusional? And you have made it clear a delusional person may not know they are delusional. What truth? Yours? MINE??? JW's?? Pentecostal??? Joe's corner bible church, anywhere USA? Confused Mary

Thank you....I already read post #37. The Luke 14 section you quoted has NOTHING to do with preventing yourself from being delusional. Based on your own theory you could be delusional and not know it. But it is fair to say based on your theory I may be delusional also and think I am not and...

Thank you BG. You know me all to well (partial quotes thing) :) I believe we will be measured by more than how much love we have for Him and our neighbor. I don't know the verse in scripture that supports your statement. Can you help me with that? Mary

What if that person falls under YOUR delusional scenario? How can that person be sure they have the Holy Ghost within them? Based on your theory, they can't. They are only deceiving themselves. Mary

Well, since The Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth (like scripture says) and if we take our differences to The Church (like scripture says we are supposed to) then why wouldn't I "always get it right"? Do you think you always get it right? If not, are you not concerned? Mary

Thank you. Don't take this the wrong way. It is a serious question based on what you have stated. Is it possible you are deluded? Mary

The above is your response to this question: Shouldn't we know or be able to figure out who is the wolf in sheep's clothing or who is twisting scripture? Scripture tells us that there will be false prophets/messiahs who will deceive us. Scripture says it's going to happen so how do we know when...

Thank you. If I am walking with God and you are not then God has already told US how to deal with the "situation" and it is a general rule: Matthew 18:15 Mary

Thank you BG. You make a very good point. I have learned over the years that scripture, like history, needs to be put in context. What you have quoted is the "epilogue" of 1 John. John is saying that he wrote those things to those that (already) believe in Him so that they may know that they...
