    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    Calling the biblical testing of doctrine “not unlike Satan” does not make your teaching true. It only shows how far you are willing to go to avoid having your claims tested by Scripture. God explicitly commands believers to test what they are taught: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    Yes, you quoted me. But the same record shows that I explicitly acknowledged my responsibility to test your teaching. I never said 1 John 4:1 commands the speaker to prove himself instead of commanding the listener to test the spirits. Asking you to establish your teaching from Scripture is part...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    No, saying “you cannot see it” still is not an argument. It is an assertion. Yes, Jesus said that it was given to His disciples to know the mysteries of the kingdom, while others heard in parables. But that does not give anyone permission to invent a meaning for a passage and then answer every...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    No, there is a big difference here. I am not asking you to accept my personal understanding of Scripture. I am pointing you to what Scripture actually says, and you keep ignoring it. If I twist a passage, then show me from the text where I twisted it. Quote what I said, quote the Scripture, and...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You are reading something into my words that I did not say. Yes, 1 John 4:1 tells the believer to “test the spirits.” That is exactly what I am doing. But how do you suppose Scripture tells us to test teaching? By accepting someone's claims without requiring biblical support? The Bereans were...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You are proving my point by twisting the very Scripture you claim proves yours. Ezekiel 13 is not condemning people because they have not received visions. It is condemning false prophets who claimed that God had shown them something when He had not. “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the...

    Who are the Saved?

    You keep warning me about judgment, but I think you are the one who needs to worry. I have repeatedly shown you what the Bible actually says, and instead of dealing with those Scriptures, you dismiss them, insult me, and now accuse me of serving Satan. That does not answer the Word of God...

    Who are the Saved?

    Yes, there is a dark shadow over this forum, but it is coming from the false teaching you keep spreading. You repeatedly attack people personally while refusing to establish your doctrine plainly from Scripture. You call others blind, carnal, arrogant, and pretenders, yet when your own teaching...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    No, I am not judging you by my own authority. The Word of God is doing the judging. I have repeatedly pointed you back to Scripture, and instead of showing from Scripture where I am wrong, you keep insisting that your interpretation is correct. Jesus said, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    Then prove it from Scripture. Your claim that I am wrong means nothing by itself. Quote the passage, show what I said, and demonstrate from the text where I contradicted God’s Word. If you cannot do that, you have not refuted me. You have only repeated your opinion.

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You keep accusing me of not understanding Scripture and now say I am under a foretold delusion. That is a serious accusation, so prove it from Scripture. Pick one specific statement I have made that is false. Quote what I said, then show the Scripture, in context, that proves it wrong. Do not...

    Love the way you are living up to your false teacher image, actually, you are one of the best false teachers I have seen online lately, proving that you don't know the bible and make it up as you go. Episkopos False Teacher Warning

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You are still reading a contradiction into Paul that is not there. In 1 Thessalonians Paul taught that the Day of the Lord would come “as a thief in the night” upon those saying “Peace and safety,” but he immediately told believers, “ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You are confusing accusation with evidence. Calling me a hypocrite does not make me one, and repeating “prove it” does not answer the Scriptures already in front of you. Jesus said, “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken” (John...

    Who are the Saved?

    You asked for chapter and verse showing that “dogs” can be figurative. Here it is: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers” (Philippians 3:2). Isaiah also calls corrupt watchmen “dumb dogs” and “greedy dogs” (Isaiah 56:10–11). Obviously Scripture is not talking about literal household pets...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    No. That is not how biblical teaching works. Yes, I have a responsibility to test what you teach. But when you claim something is truth from God, you also have a responsibility to establish it from God’s Word. You do not get to make claims, refuse to prove them, and then tell everyone else, “The...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You are twisting both passages. Ezekiel 13 condemns men who “prophesy out of their own hearts” and “follow their own spirit.” It does not say Christians need visions before they can test doctrine. And Colossians 2:18 is a warning against being “vainly puffed up” over claimed spiritual visions...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    Then stop declaring yourself right and prove it from Scripture. You keep calling my understanding “errored” and yours “the actual truth,” but you have not demonstrated that from the text. Comparing me to those who crucified Christ is not biblical proof. It is a diversion. If I am wrong, expose...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    You still have not shown Paul predicting that Christ would return before Paul died. “We which are alive and remain” does not say, “I, Paul, will definitely still be alive when Christ returns.” Paul is describing what will happen to believers who are alive at His coming. You are adding the...
