Good Christians need to take action and either "try to teach" or "stand up" to Satan and devils. If good Christians don't take action, then Satan (the deceiver and enemy of good) will get away with it's clever deceit because of today's governing laws which allow freedom of speech and don't persecute Satan when it commits it's crafty evil deeds.

We cannot wait around for Jesus or God to carry out judgement, we must use what Christ has taught us and teach/save the lost sheep; and rid the world of evil spirits. Take action, save lives, protect the future of humanity from damnation or in science terms "a barbaric hellish Earth". How do we expect to God to take action to help us if we do not take action to help another?

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Unless you submit to God, you will be a tool of the devil. Want to know what one who submits himself to God?

Read Matthew 5:2-12. Pay particular attention to verse 12. "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Do you really want to defeat Satan? Let the world see Jesus in your life.

Jesus stood up to Satan by quoting the truth of the law. We ought to take that precedence to heart. Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 3 times to Satan, and over came him due to this presence. That's the way to resist the devil. WWJD? Learn the righteousness of the law. Don't reject it.

Satan must be on this forum to misguide the truth from Christians and confuse the sheep and followers of Jesus. Because it is clear as day what I say is truth.

As I've posted before, we do flex a little on the Trinity (as long as they aren't denying the Divinity of Christ) to allow for Oneness Pentecostals (as long as they don't appear to be running an agenda).

As for JW's, and other "christian" cults, they are removed as soon as we are aware of their true colors (which in the latest case took a couple of days because I had been sick and didn't log in).

Well, there are plenty on here who deny the Deity of Christ. And often. Yes, they deny the divinity of Christ, something seemingly "not allowed" yet they're definitely here, that's for sure, and yes they've been reported.

What's clear is that you don't have a very good handle on what scripture is saying.

At least in some respects. I'm not trying to disrespect you, but to see what I mean, try to post scripture that definitely justifies some of the things you've said:

That Jesus is just an angel, that God is a woman or that He doesn't differentiate between or recognise difference in gender among humans, or that people, as believers in Christ should seek to overtake secular government in order to do such things as stop free speech, or enforce a moral code on non-believers that goes beyond keeping peace and security among the citizenry, or that the judgement of the world can be avoided by a legalistic, outward pretence of righteousness that's displayed under threat of punishment. Try to show the people disagreeing with you that the Bible teaches us to assume Gods place on earth and in heaven to execute judgement on the non-believer and on the angels, and that we should not be patient with regard to Gods work, but presume He's not coming or that He for whatever reason won't do justice Himself. Show us that we should be agnostic, that this is what scripture says.. If that's possible.

Do it using the Bible not with your own thinking at all. Don't give opinion; give indisputable proof.

I think that if you seriously try to do this, and spend that kind of time actually reading the Bible and the context of the few verses you've alluded to, you might start to see some of your error for yourself.

I'm not do sure you'll do well convincing anyone of anything, or be taken seriously, if your best defense is to exalt yourself while putting others down. Declaring your words as truth, if anything, is a red flag and calls Everything you say into question. Aa+

Ok my friend let me ask you this do you recall how Jesus healed the paralytic man?
Click to expand...
Are you referring unto the passage where the Word came to the man who was lying in his bed sick with palsy in Matthew 8?

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew 8

Or was you referring unto the passage where they took the man sick with palsy in his bed to hear the Word in Matthew 9
Matt 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Blain said:
He said to the man his sins were forgiven and the Pharisees accused him of blasphemy because only God himself has the authority to forgive sins.
Click to expand...
Matt 9:3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law; For sin is transgression of the law.
Matt 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
If only God has the authority to forgive sins then only God has the authority to impute sin.
Blain said:
So then if Jesus was not also God then he spoke blasphemy and thus discredits anything he ever said or did. So let me ask you did he blasphemy?
Click to expand...
If the man called Jesus was not God then would it be blasphemy to claim he was? [See; John 8:49]

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 12:49

It was written in Deut 18:18 that the LORD would raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto themselves, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

[See; John 12:44]

Bummer. Sorry 'bout that. I have considered Sunday is a day of rest for you, but I keep picturing you as healthy as a wolf. (lol) Sorry 'bout that. I will now consider you're allowed to get sick too. :)

But, yo! You're allowed to isn't the same as you should, so don't get sick... 'kay?

(If only that worked. lol)
