I love how trinitarians attempt to get around this by parsing synonyms. One being is one person. Begotten means to be created.

No. There is no doctrinal purity test for salvation. Sanctification, different story. There be the divisiveness.

If you are not defending church bashing, my mistake. My apologies.

It’s not God’s word that is subject to change but our improved understanding of it.

I recall a couple of decades ago when several prominent pastors fell from grace in short order, e.g, Baker, Falwell, Catholic priests, et Al. It was their personal, moral behavior that got them in trouble, not their doctrine. Also, I’d like to propose that holding accountable and rebuking...

Great! What are you talking about then?

And you equate this with Church bashing?

IF. I invoke the word to reinforce the pathway to destruction of the 1st sinner, Satan. His sin was pride, leading to a God complex. Who the hell did Satan think he is? God. This led to his separation from God. Some say that is what hell is. What do you say?

There is no doctrinal purity test to be saved. That should tell you something. I'm sure you agree there is a difference between merely judging something and engaging in Church Bashing, which is what this thread is about. Judging doctrine is not what this thread is about. There are 30,000...

It is not his place to judge other believers and certainly not to bash churches under any pretext. That is his trespass. It gives Christians a bad name. Who the hell does he think he is?

I said nothing of the kind. The proper way to read God's Word is with God's Spirit. Translations are not pure. Odd for you to invoke Strawman and to suppose that means I am claiming something blasphemous about God. The KJV is now the worst translation available in English. The best translation...

It's irrelevant to the OP. Worse, you are taking something that is unconditional and attempting to make it conditional.

Your bias is obvious. AS IF there is something wrong with making a living and serving God. :rolleyes: Sir, this reveals your God complex. Only God knows their heart. As another poster pointed out, have you ever read the introduction of these modern translations? They do a fair job of...

I am not in error. Church bashing ≠ rebuking those you love in Christ. We agree Scripture is specific. However, we too have a burden to forgive. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their...

No. His name is Jesus, not Emmanuel. Are all people named Emmanuel's God? If not, why not?

At least you can admit that. Christ offers peace.

Good question. I've asked several questions now repeatedly and you are not answering. Have you talked to the Pastor about the doctrinal concern you have? Are you committed to the people this Pastor is over or are you open to seeking fellowship elsewhere? Until this is resolved, why don't you...

I will go to my death knowing there are a lot of self-righteous, judgmental Christians who give Christ a bad name and greatly deter the Great Commission. I pray for them and forgive them - even though they don't deserve it.

I already have given my life for them. Perhaps that is the difference. For you, it is merely something you, in the self-righteousness of your own ego, you say you will do one day. Make a blessed day.

I disagree with the premise of your question. And I've already answered that you should seek fellowship with other Christ followers somewhere. Perhaps I missed your answer to that (as I asked if you are committed to the people this Pastor is leading) I want to make sure you feel I answered your...
