Calling the biblical testing of doctrine “not unlike Satan” does not make your teaching true. It only shows how far you are willing to go to avoid having your claims tested by Scripture.

God explicitly commands believers to test what they are taught:

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

The Bereans did exactly that when they “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). Scripture calls them noble for doing it. You are now trying to portray the very thing God commends as something resembling Satan. That accusation is completely backwards.

And your “no stone left upon another” warning does not rescue your argument. Jesus said that concerning the temple: “There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down” (Matthew 24:2). You are taking Christ’s words out of their context and turning them into some personal spiritual judgment against me.

You keep pronouncing judgments about my standing before God while refusing to show from Scripture where the doctrine I challenged is actually taught. That is the issue you keep avoiding.

Scripture says, “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).

So stop hiding behind accusations, warnings, and private interpretations. If what you are teaching is from God, show it from the written Word. If you cannot, then you have no biblical authority to demand that anyone accept it.

God’s Word is the judge here, not you and not me.
Calling unbiblical testing biblical is against the Word of God (antiChrist).
