    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    “Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 “The prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak... even that prophet shall die.” Deuteronomy 18:20 “They speak a vision of their own heart, and not...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You still have not answered the Scriptures I gave you. You simply repeated your claim and then declared it “bound in heaven.” Not biblical. Acts 2:17 says, “I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh.” The passage shows the Spirit being poured out across sons and daughters, young and old...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    No, quoting Acts 2 does not prove what you claim it proves. It shows that the Holy Spirit was poured out and that prophecy took place. It does not prove that every person who claims revelation today is speaking for God, and it certainly does not prove that private revelation can be used to add...

    When Belief Refuses to Bow

    “He said, Who art thou, Lord?” ~Acts 9:5 Saul of Tarsus was not an unbelieving pagan who knew nothing about God. He was deeply religious, highly educated, confident, and convinced he was defending the truth. Yet he was wrong. When Jesus Christ confronted him, Saul did not argue his position...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Exactly. The Holy Spirit does not contradict the Word of God, add to it, or lead anyone away from it. Jesus said, “Thy word is truth.” John 17:17 The Holy Spirit still teaches and guides believers, but He does so through the truth God has already given us. No private revelation, opinion, or...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You still have not named one false statement I made or proved it wrong from Scripture. Saying you corrected me somewhere in the thread is not an answer. Quote the statement and show the verse that proves it false. Your claim that I am “persecuting Christ in you” is both serious and...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You still have not identified one statement I made that was false. Saying that we “covered it already” is not evidence. Name the claim, quote it, and prove from Scripture that it is wrong. And do not compare me testing your claims to Paul “kicking against the goads.” Paul was persecuting Jesus...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    That is exactly what Scripture says. A man does not get to claim that God spoke through him and then tell everyone else they have no right to judge what he said. “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge” 1 Corinthians 14:29. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Proverbs 19:5 condemns a false witness. It does not condemn someone for testing your claims by Scripture. You still have not shown one thing I said that was a lie. Instead of answering 1 John 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 1 Corinthians 14:29, and Acts 17:11, you keep throwing out personal warnings...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    No, you do not get to declare that God will take something from me simply because I test your claims by Scripture. That is not prophecy. That is presumption. God said, “The prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak... even that prophet...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    In case you missed it, this is what the scripture actually says, not me: God commands us to test every spiritual claim: 1 John 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21. Prophetic claims must be judged: 1 Corinthians 14:29. The Bereans tested even Paul’s teaching by Scripture: Acts 17:11. False prophets...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    You are twisting Scripture to protect your claims from being tested. Jesus’ warning about taking away “the key of knowledge” was directed at lawyers who obscured God’s truth and hindered others from receiving it. Luke 11:52. Telling people to open the Bible and examine every claim is the exact...

    When “God Told Me” Becomes a License to Lie

    Some of the most dangerous words spoken in Christianity are not, “I reject the Bible.” They are, “God revealed something to me that the Bible does not say.” That claim may sound spiritual, but sounding spiritual does not make it true. When someone claims new revelation, a hidden meaning, or a...

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    You are creating a false choice between the Holy Spirit and the written Scriptures. The Spirit inspired the Word, and He does not lead anyone contrary to it. What God promised to write on the heart was His law, not new doctrines hidden from the apostles. “I will put my laws into their mind, and...

    Be Careful of the wolves in sheeps clothing

    This warning is badly needed. Any claim of “new revelation,” hidden meaning, or higher spiritual truth must be tested by the written Word of God. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God” 1 John 4:1. The only safeguard against deception is to stay with...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    Once again: This thread was started to discuss Disclosure Day, mankind’s fascination with hidden truth, the danger of deception, and the truth God has already revealed through Jesus Christ. It was not started as a debate over continuing apostles and prophets, the seven thunders, sealed...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    Quoting part of what I said does not prove your interpretation of it. You took my words, assigned them a meaning I did not state, and then argued against that meaning. If you believe I clearly said what you claim, quote the exact sentence and explain how it proves your accusation. Simply...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    You are contradicting yourself. Saying God “changes one of His methods to another of His methods” is still a change in method. God Himself does not change, but Scripture plainly shows that His ways of administering His purposes can and do change. God once spoke “at sundry times and in divers...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    This is the problem. You are no longer proving your doctrine from Scripture. You are asking me to accept your claim that God personally sent you to reveal what Scripture does not say. That claim does not authenticate itself. Scripture says, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the...

    Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day

    The issue is not whether the building has a finish. Of course it does. The issue is your unsupported leap from “the building will be finished” to “new apostles and prophets must arise to finish it.” Ephesians 2:20 says the church is already “built upon the foundation of the apostles and...
