I hold contempt for the pride people place in their social identity. It is a universal jab at that, and I consider it humorous. One need not be proud to understand that Jesus Christ is the only way to Eternal life, and his Church consists of those whom he has chosen.

What of those who attribute a different spirit to the same historical person of Jesus? Such a Jesus would have a different identity from the real Jesus and could be impersonated by a demon.

We've had one or two here on this forum.

The scriptures stating belief in Jesus as the Son of God to be a requirement for eternal life or salvation: John 3:18, 1 John 4:15, 1 John 5:10-11 Does Jesus being the Son of God mean he has God's deity? The only explanation i have heard for this is that he is indeed God in the flesh. The...

When someone tells me they are atheist, Jewish, or whatever, I say nobody's perfect. Then move on the conversation.

But surely God has not forgotten about it, whenever it is.

I do believe I am better informed for having been exposed to the vast array of doctrines presented on various forums. Not only can you know the weaknesses of various doctrines, but it is possible to identify people as being part of a given cult by what limited information they espouse.

Who says "do not participate with darkness or its teachings, rather expose them", and in truth 'open rebuke is better than hidden love' Expose/rebuke but do so with love. Bullying has no place without an authority structure. No one here is subservient to you for correction, therefore you...

You speak as though politeness and truth are mutually exclusive concepts. There is always a way to speak edifying truth without resorting to name calling or judging someone to be a child of the devil. Rule of thumb: if it isn't edifying, it is bullying. And bullying may get the other side to...

For the purpose of judgement God chooses to keep his own council, for now. If there is a greater purpose he may bring about the revelation of something done that was evil.

It seems appropriate to say the spirit of Elijah was on him, not in him. I'm not sure why still, it just seems that way. Perhaps it has something to do with the mantle given to Elisha, symbolic of the authority you mention? When was authority given? It seems not until after Elijah was taken...
