    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    Your entire line of reasoning is flawed because you continue to trust your feelings over the authority of Scripture. That is not what the Bible teaches. Nowhere does Scripture say that feelings are an “unerring way” to know whether something is from God. In fact, the opposite is true. Proverbs...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Once again, you're response is not biblical. The role of God’s witnesses is not to go around declaring judgment based on personal offense or imagined authority. Scripture defines the purpose of witnessing clearly: it is to proclaim the gospel and call people to repentance through the truth of...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    You’re completely wrong. I have never claimed to be God or to know everything, and I’ve never once said I understand the Bible perfectly. What I have said, and will keep saying, is that I can read and I believe what the Bible actually says. I’m not giving you my opinion, I’m quoting the Word of...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    I’ve shown you Scripture, and you continue to elevate feelings and subjective experiences above the authority of God’s Word. That is the root of your error. You are a false teacher. The Bible does not say to test spirits by how we feel. It says, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    Genuine faith, according to the Bible, is not just belief in the facts about Jesus, but personal trust in Him that results in obedience. James 2:17 says, “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” That means real faith will always be followed by evidence. Hebrews 11 shows that those...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    No, that’s not biblical. The Bible doesn’t leave Judas’ fate a mystery. Jesus said plainly, “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” (John 6:70). He also called Judas “the son of perdition” and said he was lost so that the Scripture would be fulfilled (John 17:12). That’s not a...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    You’re right to say not everything that looks like repentance actually is. The Bible makes a clear distinction between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. Paul wrote, “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death” (2 Corinthians...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    “So, what does "changing one's mind" look like, exactly? What does "truly repent" mean?” Changing one’s mind looks like rejecting your former view of sin and embracing God’s view. It means acknowledging that sin is rebellion against God, not just a personal failure. It is when a person no...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I figured you’d reply, since you’ve been quick to defend Judas. But honestly, it would be far better to defend the truth of the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ instead. That’s the side that matters. I’ve answered from Scripture, plainly and in context. If you're not actually here to learn or...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    Watchman Nee’s The Spiritual Manc may contain some biblical phrases, but the structure, framework, and mystical teachings go beyond Scripture and often contradict it. Colossians 2:8 warns us, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    Wow, I honestly didn’t expect to see so many people on a Christian forum defending Judas. That’s really sad. Most people wouldn’t even name their dog Judas, but it seems like some here would name their child Judas because they think he was just a misunderstood guy. That’s not just concerning, it...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I’ve answered from Scripture, plainly and in context. If you're not actually here to learn or consider what the Bible says, but just want to keep pushing your own view no matter what, then I'm not continuing the discussion. I'm here to help those who genuinely want to understand God’s Word, not...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    I answered your question clearly and biblically. You just didn’t like the answer because it doesn’t support your assumption. That doesn’t make it wrong. It just means your argument has no scriptural foundation. Let me ask you something straight: why are you defending Judas? And more...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    That’s not true. While it’s correct that the full payment for sin was made at the cross, the Bible is clear that people were saved by faith before the cross, not just after. Abraham was saved long before Jesus died, and Scripture says clearly, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him...

    A Warning to All Who Pretend to Follow Christ

    This is one of those questions that assumes Jesus needed Judas in order for God’s plan to succeed, but that is a flawed way of thinking. Scripture never says that Judas was necessary for Christ to die on the cross. What the Bible teaches is that Jesus came to lay down His life willingly, and...

    The irony of your entire post is that you are the exact warning of original post (OP) is talking about, a deceiver who cloaks error in religious-sounding language, twisting Scripture while pretending to defend it. You named yourself after a known heretic, “Origen”, and you continue to promote...

    "Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink." ~ Dwight L. Moody

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You boast like you have some secret knowledge, but what you're doing is perverting God’s Word to fit your own ideas. You quote Jeremiah 5:14 completely out of context. That verse is not about believers breathing fire through the gospel, it’s about God declaring judgment on a rebellious people...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    You’re making some serious assumptions that don’t line up with what the Bible actually says. First, yes, when the Bible says an angel appeared, it typically means a visible, physical appearance. That part is true. Angels showed up in person to Mary (Luke 1:26–28), to the shepherds (Luke 2:9)...
