Why is it that so many people feel the need to be demeaning to others? Isn't it enough to simply voice your view, provide Scripture support, if you have a mind to, and leave it at that? Why do so many find they need to address others in such personal and negative fashion? Is that really necessary? I don't think so.

Much love!

Really?? You honestly believe what you just posted??
I have NEVER seen you complain about personal attacks against Epi. Why is that??

Yes, the Holy Spirit was there I agree....but there is this scripture that leads me to think He could be "with" people, but not "in" them until after Christ and Pentecost:

Jhn 14:16-17

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
What about John the Baptist? He was filled with the Holy Spirit before Christ's death or Pentecost.

Lk 1:15
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

and only use his words to make FAITH VOID . And i promise us all we got a few doing that HERE and NOW .
what are they gonna say ON JESUS day . Oh LORD we claimed to beleive you . And HE will say
THEN WHY DID YOU RAIL on those who preached about the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON ME and followed inclusivism .
Someone on this site has zero idea the upmost deadly danger they are in my friend .
Now paul had a man blinded for trying to lead the deputy away FROM THE FAITH . His name was elaymus .
And i sure can see another HERE doing just that . LEADING or trying to lead this people away FROM THE FAITH .
That wont bode well for such a person at all .

It just gets worse the more you talk. You paint yourself into bad corners.
Even an unbeliever could see and reject what you teach as hogwash. You say you start on a higher level of righteousness than all OT saints in history because you’ve been given a down payment of the Spirit. Even if you DO unrighteously in some matter, you are on a higher level than all the righteous before you and are more righteous than even an unbeliever who does righteously, even if you do unrighteously in some matter.
It’s astoundingly bad.
You are blessed to discern what is of the flesh and what is of the Spirit. Be strong and very courageous in the Lord. <><

Um . . . unbelievers don't understand these things. But you are becoming like your mentor, in demeaning others.

Actually the righteousness that comes from God is greater than the righteousness that is by the Law:

Philippians 3:6-11 KJV
6) Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11) If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Matthew 11:10-11 KJV
10) For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11) Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Why is it that so many people feel the need to be demeaning to others? Isn't it enough to simply voice your view, provide Scripture support, if you have a mind to, and leave it at that? Why do so many find they need to address others in such personal and negative fashion? Is that really necessary? I don't think so.

Much love!
This is hypocritical faux outrage disguised as much love. How can you expose yourself more clearly?
