Go ahead redirect what I said..it's your m.o. along with your condescending remarks. It seems that if one doesn't agree with your view then there toast.
Never did I say that God's word is not truth. Get off your high horse.
The first 12 seen Jesus differently in fact corrections were made after the Ascension.
Jesus is the truth can we agree on that? Now let's look at what he said about himself. Did he say anything about division?
Prime example of not letting the Holy Spirit do his work....your a hands on kinda guy.
You raise for me the point about false prophets.
A false prophet steps over from a follower commenting on Christs words to a condemner of individuals,
personally and specifically. This is dangerous territory, because spiritually it is taking Gods stand, and if
one is wrong this is a sin against the Lord. Some are struck dead for this behaviour, though rare.
Any believer who takes such a stand lightly, might soon discover they are not actually of the faith.
Pride, self belief, pomposity, a desire to dominate all feed into this. Paul was given a weakness that
grounded him. Moses, a humble man, failed once, and suffered for it. It is something so easy for us
to do, and I have strayed close at times, but we must be terribly careful. It is why you can often
spot false prophets easily, the speak so quickly against everyone who they label with no fear, because
they do not fear God who they claim to serve. Just look at Jonah as an example of not listening to
Gods heart. He died in effect in the whale, and only by Gods grace and the Lord working through him
did it work out. But at the end, Jonah still was not happy with God. It is so profound and also so
worrying. God is not tame or simple or something to take for granted, ever.
In these debates, this is not innocent stuff, or nice discussion, this is life and death, eternity and
judgements I would not wish on anyone, and would be petrified if I could see its full implications.
Some have so seared their consciences, it is like rain, nothing substantial, the stronger the language
the more it has meaning. This very trait declares the state of their hearts. God bless you
