    What Is Episkopos Really Teaching? Read His Own Words

    I did purchase it, and it is full of false teachings. If that is what you are looking for, then you will find it there.

    Website hits off the charts

    300,000 hits would certainly be a lot of traffic, but traffic does not tell us whether a website is biblically sound. A site can receive massive attention and still teach serious error. I looked through heavenandfreedom.com, and while there is some sound material there, I also found teachings...

    What Is Episkopos Really Teaching? Read His Own Words

    A Serious Warning About Episkopos and His Teaching I believe it is time to give a serious warning about Episkopos and what he is teaching on this forum. I am not writing this because I dislike the man, and I am not calling every disagreement between Christians false teaching. Christians can...

    Is original sin scriptural?

    I asked for Scripture, and you supplied tradition. The Bible never says David’s mother committed adultery. Even the tradition you linked says she conceived by her husband, Jesse, while others wrongly suspected adultery. Your own source does not establish your claim. Calling Psalm 51:5...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Episkopos, “one gospel with two levels” is your invention. Paul preached salvation through Jesus Christ, not a second level or an alternative route of mercy for unbelievers. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be...

    The Book of Remembrance

    Your claim that an unbeliever can be saved by good works is false. Scripture says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5). You invented a story where a good deed earns entrance into a kingdom, then slapped the name of Jesus on your...

    Dolly Parton Believed in God, but Was It the God of the Bible?

    You still have not answered the question. Where does Scripture say unbelieving, unrepentant sinners already possess forgiveness? Instead of providing a passage, you have shifted into a lecture about perspectives. Calling your position “God’s perspective” does not make it God’s perspective. You...

    The Book of Remembrance

    I have no desire to “comprehend” your mess of false teachings as though accepting it were some mark of spiritual understanding. I understand what you are claiming. I reject it because the passages you quote do not teach it. Your imagination is not revelation, and insulting my reading...

    The Book of Remembrance

    This is not a biblical explanation of the Book of Remembrance. It is an entire salvation system invented by cutting unrelated passages out of context and forcing them together. You have created three classes of people and three supposed standards of judgment: the elect who attain holiness...

    Dolly Parton Believed in God, but Was It the God of the Bible?

    Exactly right, my friend. When they cannot answer the Scripture, they change the subject and accuse the person exposing the error of being unloving or judgmental. But refusing to confront falsehood is not love. Paul said, “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    No, it is not “both.” You are adding your own spiritual theory to the gospel and then hiding it behind the phrase “double-edged sword.” Hebrews 4:12 says the Word of God is “quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword.” It means God’s Word penetrates and exposes the heart. It does...

    Is original sin scriptural?

    Scripture never says David was conceived in adultery. If you claim that, please provide the verse. We cannot invent an affair involving David’s mother just to avoid what Psalm 51:5 plainly says. David wrote, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” The subject...

    Dolly Parton Believed in God, but Was It the God of the Bible?

    What exactly do you mean by having “ears and eyes open”? Open to what Scripture says, or open to adding something Scripture does not say because you have decided it must be true? Calling me blind does not answer the question. You claimed that unbelieving, unrepentant sinners are already...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I have now read the article, and your position is worse than I initially understood. First, the article is not Scripture, and I have no obligation to accept its theology. Where the author goes beyond Scripture and speaks as though every human being literally participated in Adam's personal act...

    Dolly Parton Believed in God, but Was It the God of the Bible?

    Your lottery illustration still assumes the point you have not proven. A man can only “already have won the lottery” if he has actually won it. Where does Scripture say an unbelieving, unrepentant sinner has already received forgiveness and simply does not know it? Scripture says the opposite...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Your deck analogy is irrelevant to Matthew 25. The text says the faithful servant was faithful with little and was then given greater responsibility: “I will make thee ruler over many things” (Matthew 25:21). It does not say he was tested again so he could keep advancing through some progressive...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    You are still changing the argument. I am not denying that believers can be tested repeatedly. Scripture clearly teaches that. What you have not proven is your progressive testing system, where one test leads to advancement, reward, another test, more advancement, and so on. Repeated testing...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    You just admitted the problem yourself. “Could reasonably be interpreted” and “IF one was so inclined” is not exegesis. That is textbook eisegesis. You begin already “inclined” toward progressive testing and then go hunting for language about fire, gold, and refining that you can force into your...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    These verses prove that God tests and refines His people. I am not disputing that. But that is not what Wrangler has been asked to prove. First Peter 1:7 speaks of “the trial of your faith” resulting in “praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” It says nothing about...
