And instead you got your usual spanking, it's personal sister, and thus can not be holy. Run...
Although,

"The Lord ministers what He knows each soul needs at any given time."

(Quote by @Lizbeth)

She's free to run, BUT she's also free to stay and see what the answer to her prayers, and others are. Something that deep, deep inside her, the longing of her heart is curious about. Somewhere where not "much love", but ETERNAL love exists.

its like pulling teeth from an angry half starved crocodile my dear sister .
Ya cannot get him to admit the most basic ,,,,,,,,,THAT ONE MUST ABSOLUTELY BELEIVE on JESUS the CHRIST .
An inclusivian is very subtile . But the sheep do not heed them .
Go on sister . T RY and get ol EPI to admit its all in vain IF ONE HAS NOT FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST . GO on sister
see what he says . You might have better luck pulling the tooth outta that crocodile . though i dont advise
you to try and sneak up on a crocodile and attempt THAT .
Yes. Always so much hedging and hiding, that's what crocodiles do, and that is why it took so long to get to the bottom of it, at least for me. I don't know if you have caught up with the recent conversation about whether Christ comes to dwell IN us by faith......Christ IN us, the hope of glory.....but it has come to light that this group does not believe He does. They believe it only refers to Him dwelling in the corporate church. That for me, explains EVERYTHING that has puzzled me or seemed incongruent about them....why Epi believes we are no different than Jews under the old covenant; why he says Catholics are our brothers and sisters; and why their 'fellowship' seems to be around a set of beliefs 'about' Him, rather than around He Himself, and a lot of other things too.

Christ IN us the hope of glory is the crux of the matter........... as to whether one is truly a Christian and belongs to Him or not, and whether a group is truly Christian or not (as opposed to name only).

Sister its the same language all over the realm now . This inclusivity stuff .
Their doctrines only differ but its the same thing sister . And the same delusion
coming to make them as one min d and one peoples . Tis why you see the same lingo.
The main driver behind it is inclusive ecumencalism .
The entire goal is to bring us to a religion , to a concept , to a love , to a peace
that all will agree upon . And is it any wonder it t ries to cliam torah , but like the unbelieving jews
it cannot hear Torah . IT will not POINT to the fact ONE must TRULY BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST .
The moment beleif in HIM is removed , is the moment I KNOW its a false gospel without any doubt .
THERE is NO HONOR in a lie . There is no honor to CHRIST by making void the dire need to BELIEVE ON HIM .
Recognizing what BY GOD CHRIST HAS DONE for us , IS WHAT HONORS THE SON and THUS GIVES ALL HONOR TO THE FATHER .
BELIEF . it dont matter what a man does , whether some good works or not . IF HE DONT BELIEVE GOD
HE cannot PLEASE GOD . Its about one simple thing , FAITH . DO we BELIEVE HIM or do we call HIM a liar .
God has given salvation unto all who beleive in Christ JESUS and who love him in SINCERITY and TRUTH .
And the very works GOD ordained they to walk in , WELL NOW IN CHRIST JESUS those who DO BELEIVE IN HIM
are HIS workmanship who are created unto those good works well pleasing to GOD by FAITH IN HE whom GOD did send .
TELLING folks its not necessary to BELIEVE on CHRIST is nothing more than saying YOU CAN CALL GOD A LIAR .
As for me , by grace , I KNOW i NEED HIM and DO BELIEVE HE is all that i NEED . HIC is gonna damn all
for it rejected FAITH , BELEIF IN CHRIST and gave no honor or glory to the SON and thus NO honor and glory to the Father .

And I truly do not need a man or a group to find the "answers to my prayers". I long ago was thankfully led by the Lord to stop following and trusting men and 'ministers', and to hear HIS voice. The LORD is my Shepherd and a very good one, perfect in fact.

THERE IS NO FOUNDATION here for what you are trying to build. No wedding garment here - but the devil sure does have his counterfeits. You need first of all to be shod with the preparation of the actual gospel, Christ in you the hope of glory, and the only hope......that is the vital first step in the preparation of the bride.....having the bath, genuinely. And then go on to allowing the Lord to wash your feet etc. You are trying to put the horse before the cart....it doesn't work.

I absolutely believe Jesus Christ dwells in our hearts as individuals by faith. However, I also see the corporate indwelling that brings forth God's eternal purpose. I don't expect you to understand. It's like water off a ducks back to you at this time.

Your unrequited clamoring for validation that everyone agrees with you reminds me of this:

Mt 11:17 ... We have piped unto you, and you have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and you have not lamented

I will give you the satisfaction of knowing I DO believe Christ dwells by faith in the heart of the individual that belongs to him. However, I am done with answering anymore of your questions so you can devise a categorization that makes you comfortable.

to BELEIVE dear sister . Not the carnal flesh .
And yet as you well said , HIC wont be saving anyone for it denies FAITH IN THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THEM .

Change the wordings not unusable into fixed pattern, that is more like it. He is punishing you for your long time opposition to his superior (so he feels) teachings. He has become personal to you and that can never be among Christians. It's where I draw a clear line. He will gloss over his sin telling folks the Lord has given him a job saving people from the fire and will continue as usual, another fixed pattern.

God bless you sister, don't let him rob your found peace in Christ.
ONLY the eternal love of God would drive and sustain Epikopos to take as much abuse as you guys dish out to him.
NO, Episkopos is an example of HOW MUCH ABUSE one must take from "so called believers" WHEN you truly LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL YOUR MIND, AND ALL YOUR SOUL. And why does Episkopos take the time to explain so patiently over ALL these years knowing the abuse he'll receive?? ...because God put him here, because he has come to love and care for you knowing what awaits you and him if he doesn't speak up (think watchman), because God gives him all the "hard cases", since he himself was a "hard case." God knew that IF it was only ever christains Epi met, Episkopos would NEVER have become one. But WHEN Epi cried out to the Lord initially, GOD translated him into His kingdom, His eternal realm for 3 days until Epi wanted out...he (his self) couldn't take it. So, Epi also understands why you have a hard time hearing what he HAS to say.
His "superior teachings" (your words), actually come from his hours of time spent before the Lord. ...that's WHY you can't find them in any or all of the books you site. They are not from any books, they are from time spent before the Lord and what the Lord has given him. Yes, Epikopos IS INTENSE, but GOD EVEN MORE SO!
Abuse him IF you must, but you will answer to God for it. Matt 25:40 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

IF, even for a moment, you could "see" from another perspective (not your own) .... isn't that what the Lord gives us? ...a different way of seeing...everything becomes new...and our hearts are enlarged to be able to love as Jesus loves...no longer protecting SELF...

May the Lord bless you.

Look again at your first sentence . You wrote you Absolutely BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST dwells in our hearts as individuals
BY FAITH . WELL said .
NOW tell me this , IF one believes NOT how can their faith be IN CHRIST JESUS or the FATHER WHO SENT
and TESTIFIED ON HIM .
Now you go and examine real closely over all these years
when i reminded epi THAT ONE MUST FIRST BEIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST
and he called all of that RELIGOIUS dogma . DO you even know what inclusivism teaches .
THE LIE of anti christ it was it teaches . THAT its not necessary TO HAVE HAD to BELIEVE on JESUS

I have to say, you can be entertaining!!
And somewhere after your initial conversations with Epi (or HIC as you call him now) 15ish years ago after it was established between the 2 of you that Epi does believe that one must believe into Jesus Christ to be translated into the kingdom realm AND that ALL times are "Jesus praising times!!"... somewhere, somehow YOU forgot that.
And just like one doesn't have to site the alphabet before each time one speaks, to show everyone you know it, Epi will not indulge you the attention you seek.
IF your memory is slipping, all you have to do is listen to any of Episkopos' videos and it is plain to see that he does believe into Jesus Christ....he just does not preface every sentence with that, as it's understood for most people in the circles of people he talks to.
And how do I know this???? .....I was a "guest" here for many, many years before becoming a member. I followed ALL the conversations.

I have learned just how dishonest pretenders are, such as yourself. After a half- decade or so of non-stop childish pestering and virtue signaling for attention...

Faith in Christ and the resultant grace from God is the only salvation from sin, the flesh, the devil and this world. I have always maintained that rigorously.

Your dishonest condemnation comes from your own self-righteous posture and the desire to condemn the righteous whom I defend. God's mercy extends far beyond what your hypocritical self-justification can tolerate.

While you point fingers erroneously...you expose your own hypocrisy...and lack of knowledge of the One true God and His Son Jesus Christ.


You only have bible beliefs like any church-goer....and that doesn't give you any discernment about truth and eternal reality...you are not even in touch with temporal reality.

I often wonder if you do your posting while sober.

Besides being deaf and blind, the confused ones are also very dishonest...and they think they represent God here. :rolleyes:

That's your flesh (self) projecting that he's carnal (so as to hide your carnality) and that he's angry (again to hide your anger).
Can you say deflect??

And I truly do not need a man or a group to find the "answers to my prayers".

No, you don't....yet you hang out on every one of Episkopos' threads...why is that???

(Sorry, I hit the wrong button so I lost the rest of your post to respond. I'll be back later, God-willing. )

Wow. You do, but Epi doesn't. So why did you not affirm it? Is it a state secret? Were you ashamed? Why withhold your witness? I got a feeling of people running away and dodging the question. Aren't we supposed to walk in the light, not hide in the dark?

However, I also see the corporate indwelling that brings forth God's eternal purpose. I don't expect you to understand. It's like water off a ducks back to you at this time.
I do understand and agree with there also being a corporate indwelling. Told you that.

our unrequited clamoring for validation that everyone agrees with you reminds me of this:
I do not need everyone to agree with me...........I only wanted to know what everyone here themselves believe. Get to the bottom line....get down to brass tacks and take it from there. It hadn't occurred to me to ask that before. And when it seemed as though nobody was going to answer, I wasn't going to let it go. Because it's an important question.....vital for salvation.....IF you know the Lord how can you not understand that it is important?

However, I am done with answering anymore of your questions so you can devise a categorization that makes you comfortable.
Hmmmm...the issue of whether or not Christ indwells the believer is a "categorization that makes you comfortable"? Oh dear, it is not about being comfortable, it is a question of salvation of the soul and what the gospel is, what it is founded upon. Kind of important. ‘Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Rom 8:9

inclusvism teaches something that epi is all of a sudden trying to keep quiet .
As he word plays about faith in Christ .
DO you realize that inclusvism , pope f rancis , they b eleive
that BECAUSE JESUS is the savoir of the world in the end they all saved whether they believed on him or did not beleive on him .
IN fact incluisivism teaches that the HOLY SPIRIT of G OD is at work in ALL the false religoins
and that even if they do not repent of that religoin and confess JESUS is THE LORD CHRIST SON OF GOD
that still they are serving the same God we do if they , Simply love GOD and their neighbor .
Now talk about a deadly mistake . And what mistake is that ..........
HOW CAN A MAN LOVE GOD if he DENIES JESUS IS THE CHRIST . cause HAD HE LOVED GOD he would have LOVED CHRIST .
SO inclusivism is a lie . but a very sub itle lie indeed an dvery crafity are those who brought it into the church .

All the false drama here. Of course, the only way for Christ to dwell in any heart is by faith. Holiness is not about works but about abiding. Overcoming as Jesus overcame is by abiding in Him who knew no sin. Holiness is about location location location...I say it again and again for the dull of hearing and slow of reading.

Smokescreens like this are only there as veils for the flesh..accusing others of not being believers in a formulaic way.

The pretenders amply demonstrate their own carnal natures....and try hiding that in religious language. But the truth is known by those who aren't pretending.

Now how can it have been established FIFTEEN years ago between me and epi
WHEN i have only been here since sept of twenty twenty . I mean we aint in twenty thirty five yet .
I thinks the two of you are doulbing down on a cliam so as to not lose your followers .
But i have seen and watched epi . And i know full well what inclusivism implies and teaches . A LIE .

Wow. You do, but Epi doesn't. So why did you not affirm it? Is it a state secret? Were you ashamed? Why withhold your witness? I got a feeling of people running away and dodging the question. Aren't we supposed to walk in the light, not hide in the dark?
Who is hiding? All one has to do is review my many posts over the years. I don't have to dance everytime you blow the flute.
I do understand and agree with there also being a corporate indwelling. Told you that.


I do not need everyone to agree with me...........I only wanted to know what everyone here themselves believe. Get to the bottom line....get down to brass tacks and take it from there. It hadn't occurred to me to ask that before. And when it seemed as though nobody was going to answer, I wasn't going to let it go. Because it's an important question.....vital for salvation.....IF you know the Lord how can you not understand that it is important?
You are arrogant beyond belief. I don't think you are qualified to judge anything by "getting to the bottom of it" Who do you think you are?
Hmmmm...the issue of whether or not Christ indwells the believer is a "categorization that makes you comfortable"? Oh dear, it is not about being comfortable, it is a question of salvation of the soul and what the gospel is, what it is founded upon. Kind of important. ‘Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Rom 8:9
You misunderstand. The comfortable categorization I spoke of is one that makes you feel comfortable in rejecting someone by claiming they have a false gospel. Stop being so shallow and plastic. That's the kind of witness Epi is trying to correct.
