    SENT ME NOT TO BAPTIZE

    The Scriptures clearly present baptism as a sign of repentance and faith in Jesus, as commanded by Christ in Matthew 28:19 and echoed in Mark 16:16. However, it is not biblical to claim that Paul “stopped baptizing” because Israel was diminished or because the coming kingdom was delayed. Nowhere...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Yes, I know exactly what Scripture says about the two witnesses “spewing fire,” and so should you if you're going to quote it. Revelation 11:5 says, “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies, and if any man will hurt them, he must in this...

    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 right to take 2 Corinthians 11:14 literally, Satan does transform himself into an angel of light. But where your response starts to drift is when you shift the focus to feelings, impressions, and subjective “alarms going off.” That’s not how the Bible tells us to discern truth. Scripture...

    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 reference to Satan masquerading as an angel of light is accurate, but your conclusion is not. You said, “feelings are testified by deeds,” but that’s not a biblical standard for testing spirits. The Bible never tells us to evaluate spiritual truth by feelings. In fact, Scripture warns us...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    I’m going to end the conversation here. You’ve made it clear that you’re more interested in defending your own theory than submitting to what the Bible actually says. When someone resorts to name-calling instead of rightly handling the Word of God, it shows they’re not interested in truth. The...

    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

    That statement you shared is not biblical and leads people into dangerous, mystical thinking that has no foundation in the Word of God. The idea that we can discern whether something comes from God or from Satan based on how it “feels,” whether it brings peace or disturbance, is completely...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Actually, I did say why Revelation 11:4 combines the two symbols, because the text literally says it does. You're acting like this is my opinion, but look at the verse: "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." (Revelation 11:4) That is the...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You’re putting words in my mouth that I never said, and misrepresenting the conversation entirely. I never claimed Revelation 12 should be taken 100% literally without recognizing symbolic language. What I stand on is what the Bible actually says, not assumptions and man-made conclusions added...

    I Have Lost None: The Fierce Protection of Christ

    This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” ~ John 18:9 When Jesus stood in the garden facing betrayal and arrest, He didn’t just think of Himself. He stepped forward to shield His disciples, saying, “If you seek me, let these go their way”...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Revelation 11 says what it says. The two witnesses are not symbols of ideas, they are two actual people God will raise up in the future. The Bible never says, "These two are the law and the prophets." That is something you're adding into the text. When God uses symbols, He explains them, like...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    Repeating a false teaching does not make it true. Again, you keep saying the world is already reconciled to God and we just have to “receive” it. That’s not what the Bible says. You’re twisting Scripture to make it sound like everyone is already right with God before they repent. That’s false...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    No, I’m not the one bullying anyone. I’ve simply stood on Scripture and defended the truth. If pointing to what the Bible actually says offends you, that’s not bullying, that’s conviction. I’ve kept my responses focused on the Word of God, while you’ve responded with personal attacks. Don’t...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    You keep threatening to “report” me as if that will somehow cancel the Word of God. I’m not moved by your warnings, and I’m not intimidated by your offense. You have not been falsely accused. What you are promoting is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s a counterfeit message that separates...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    You are not standing on Scripture, you are twisting it to push a false message. You keep saying, “God reconciled the world to Himself,” but you leave out the rest of the passage. Right after saying that, the Bible says, “Be ye reconciled to God.” That means it’s not automatic. If everyone was...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    Your wrong! What you’re claiming is not what Revelation 11 says. You are trying to merge two separate things, the two individuals and two churches, into one symbolic hybrid that the text never defines. That’s adding your own interpretation where God gave none. Revelation 11:3–12 describes two...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    What you're saying here isn't supported by the text, and it's important we let Scripture speak for itself instead of reading our own ideas into it. Luke 16:19–31 never says that Jesus “won’t be sending back any prophets.” That’s not in the passage. What it actually says is that if people won’t...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You claim “only the wise can understand and the foolish or natural man won’t,” but that’s exactly what false teachers always say when they’re caught twisting Scripture. The truth is, it’s not about hidden knowledge, it’s about whether or not you actually believe what is plainly written. God did...

    God Interprets His Scripture

    You are twisting Revelation 11 into a symbolic allegory that flatly contradicts what the text actually says. That’s not discernment, that’s deception. You are doing exactly what Peter warned about, wresting the Scriptures to your own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). The Word of God does not describe...

    What Is Truth? – The Trial Before Pilate

    I appreciate your interest in reflecting on the trial of Jesus before Pilate, but I need to be honest, much of what you’ve shared goes far beyond what the Bible actually says. It mixes truth with imagination, and that’s where we have to be careful. Scripture warns, “Add thou not unto his words...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    What you’re promoting is not the gospel, it’s rebellion wrapped in religious talk. You are resisting the plain teaching of Scripture and excusing sin under the banner of false grace. You say, “Good luck trying to get nonbelievers to repent from sin,” as if repentance is optional. But Jesus...
