Oh give me a break!!!!!! ![thumbdown[1].gif](https://www.christianityboard.com/data/attachments/32/32504-b1ad4b94a0a9a023ef3d288c07517435.jpg "thumbdown[1].gif")
So you must feel that your "mission for God is not to preach the Good News, but just point out where everyone else is wrong ...and you are right!!
Most people won't watch videos. They prefer people posting from their hearts themselves, not just dishing up another man's canned stuff.
Like God said about the Manna...if you keep it and don't gather and eat it...it will stink!

This Vet learned long time ago all that happens when you tried to be nice to an enemy is they defeat you.
Cults are enemies of Christianity.

Maybe so..( I do not study them..I don't waste my time..prayer is MUCH more important than mud slinging. ) ...but the people are just that PEOPLE, doing the best that they can to get Home to God and win the race.
I believe that God will judge you for your judgement about them.
" To his own Master he stands or falls ".
The Bible says to judge justly. To do that requires study.
But you don't do that. Thus you defend cults.
Sure we are to pray, but God requires personal responsibility, study and diligence.
We are commanded to defend the gospel, not surrender and embrace those that do not teach it.
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20. The people of God are directed to the Scriptures as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of spirits of darkness. Satan employs every possible device to prevent men from obtaining a knowledge of the Bible; for its plain utterances reveal his deceptions. At every revival of God's work the prince of evil is aroused to more intense activity; he is now putting forth his utmost efforts for a final struggle against Christ and His followers. The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works in our sight. So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true that it will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures. By their testimony every statement and every miracle must be tested.
Those who endeavor to obey all the commandments of God will be opposed and derided. They can stand only in God. In order to endure the trial before them, they must understand the will of God as revealed in His word; they can honor Him only as they have a right conception of His character, government, and purposes, and act in accordance with them. None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict. To every soul will come the searching test: Shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand. Are our feet planted on the rock of God's immutable word? Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus?'
But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms. The opinions of learned men, the deductions of science, the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and discordant as are the churches which they represent, the voice of the majority—not one nor all of these should be regarded as evidence for or against any point of religious faith. Before accepting any doctrine or precept, we should demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord” in its support.
Satan is constantly endeavoring to attract attention to man in the place of God. He leads the people to look to bishops, to pastors, to professors of theology, as their guides, instead of searching the Scriptures to learn their duty for themselves. Then, by controlling the minds of these leaders, he can influence the multitudes according to his will.
When Christ came to speak the words of life, the common people heard Him gladly; and many, even of the priests and rulers, believed on Him. But the chief of the priesthood and the leading men of the nation were determined to condemn and repudiate His teachings. Though they were baffled in all their efforts to find accusations against Him, though they could not but feel the influence of the divine power and wisdom attending His words, yet they incased themselves in prejudice; they rejected the clearest evidence of His Messiahship, lest they should be forced to become His disciples. These opponents of Jesus were men whom the people had been taught from infancy to reverence, to whose authority they had been accustomed implicitly to bow. “How is it,” they asked, “that our rulers and learned scribes do not believe on Jesus? Would not these pious men receive Him if He were the Christ?” It was the influence of such teachers that led the Jewish nation to reject their Redeemer.
The spirit which actuated those priests and rulers is still manifested by many who make a high profession of piety. They refuse to examine the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the special truths for this time. They point to their own numbers, wealth, and popularity, and look with contempt upon the advocates of truth as few, poor, and unpopular, having a faith that separates them from the world.

I looked and could not find such a COMMAND.
Could you QUOTE a Scriptural COMMAND to "DEFEND" the gospel ?
Glory to God,
Taken
In your study, you should have come across some FACTS.

Thanks for sharing what Others proclaim.
I was asking YOU for a Scripture that teaches
DEFENSE of the Gospel.
Glory to God,
Taken
The same verses plus having worked in intelligence I know firsthand that not defending against the enemy is a victory for the enemy.
Thanks for your non-answer.
Your irrelevant and deflective "PLUS" revealed more information to something that was NOT asked, than what 'was' ASKED.
Glory to God,
Taken
I thought it was a very clear answer. If you do not push back and defend, you will get conquered.
Is that supposed to be a defense SDA legalism and its false prophetess Ellen G White?
