@Episkopos, you did not answer Lizbeth. You cursed her standing before God, and the bible does not give you that seat. She spoke about the rich young ruler and what Jesus required of him. You left the text and said she hates the truth, that her foundation is her ego, that God rejects her...

I was thinking about something today that I believe every Christian needs to seriously consider. We hear a lot about deception, but most of us probably think we would recognize it if we saw it. If somebody openly denied Jesus Christ or said the Bible was false, we would know something was wrong...

Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life...

This is remarkable. You were simply asked how you were taught “directly” by the Holy Spirit, and instead of answering plainly, you immediately reached for “dogs” and “swine” and explained that your deeper experiences are only for the spiritually qualified. Then you created two levels again. One...

You keep wrapping your doctrine in words like righteousness, surrender, obedience, and the fear of God, but none of that excuses teaching what God has not said. A lie does not become truth because it is spoken with religious confidence. Paul did not tolerate men like you who corrupted the...

I actually have a copy of J.F. Morin's book, The Sum of All Possibilities in Christ. I am not judging his teaching from rumors or from what somebody else claims he believes. I have read his own words. And what I have read is deeply concerning. He teaches “two steps, or salvations,” with a...

That kind of pattern should concern us, because it sounds very much like the way Satan operates. Scripture calls Satan “the accuser of our brethren” (Revelation 12:10), and Jesus said he is “a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). Satan accuses, deceives, shifts attention away from truth, and...

I know I will answer to God for what I do and teach as well. I am not personally worried about that in this discussion because I am not trying to invent a doctrine or build a teaching around my own ideas. I am trying to stay with what Scripture actually says. What should concern every one of us...

1 Corinthians 2:14 does not answer the question I asked. Paul is contrasting the natural man, who does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, with those who have received the Spirit. He is not teaching that anyone who disagrees with your interpretation may simply be labeled spiritually...

I agree with you about suffering. Scripture is very clear that God can use hardship for the good of His people. Paul wrote that “our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Corinthians 4:17). We do not seek suffering, but...

I agree. Scripture absolutely calls believers to holiness. “Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16), and Jesus did say, “Be ye therefore perfect” (Matthew 5:48). The problem is not the call to holiness. The problem is what happens when holiness is detached from the gospel and turned into...

Amen, and that is a very helpful Scripture summary. You laid out the case clearly and let the Word speak for itself. I especially appreciate the distinction you made between salvation by faith apart from works and a dead profession of faith that produces no fruit. That keeps Paul and James...

The insults do not answer the Scriptures. You said, “You don't charge unbelievers with unbelief.” Jesus says the opposite: “he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed” (John 3:18). You also said, “Salvation is conditional on obedience.” Yet Scripture says, “by...

You are trying to turn the discussion from your doctrine to my supposed spiritual condition. That is a diversion. If what you teach is true, then establish it from Scripture. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). And be careful with Matthew 6:23. Jesus was not...

You are the one who is following your father, the father of lies. That is an empty accusation. You have quoted no sentence where I condemned Israel, because I did not. Christ came first to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24), yet Scripture also says, “He came unto his own...

This is worse than a vague statement. Episkopos is directly denying the biblical gospel. Scripture does not say all people are redeemed by Christ’s blood. It says Christ purchased a people for God “out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9). It says He “gave...

I created this podcast and song just for @Episkopos and @ScottA, hope you enjoy it.:My2c:

Well, I have called you out ScottA, as you are another false teacher on this forum and here you going again with more of it. God’s love for sinners is not the same as God saving sinners while they reject His Son and believe a false gospel. That is the error in your reply. “Even the smallest...

Your own words are the issue, and anyone who wants to see what you teach can click the links already posted. You teach a salvation into Christ’s sinless perfection and then speak of God’s mercy upon those who “work righteousness.” That is not the gospel. Christ alone “did no sin” (1 Peter 2:22)...

Being controversial does not make a man like Christ. False teachers are always controversial to actual born-again followers of Jesus Christ. The question is not whether your conclusions differ from tradition, nor whether another false teacher with a PhD found your exegesis technically sound. The...
