I am laughing so hard right now, thanks @Intersection for lightening the mood! 🤣

The Bible discussion forum can be so contentious, but you have brought much joy to it tonight! 😂👍
Who would ever think they would continue to bump up this thread for so long. :cautious: Can this thread now be called "The Never Ending Story"? What if this thread is really not a story? What if this thread is just a digital simulation in cyberspace. Will they ever know? Will they sleep well tonight? :sleep:

Hey, before you get banned for trolling (I'm not gonna report you but someone else might)..... I hope you really will look into the true doctrines of Jesus Christ. They are life....not just for the world to come, but also the matrix we're currently stuck in. 😉

OK that's all.... thanks for the laughs! And I'll say a prayer for you, you gonna need it! 😎😜

Those who are not of the elect do believe false doctrine of the devil.

You have repeated many times those words, "knowingly believes/choose to believe false doctrine." I have yet to meet anybody who says, "Well, I know this doctrine is false, but I am going to believe it anyway!" There are plenty who believe false doctrines, bur they do so believing those doctrines to be true.

do you believe this person is a believer?
If someone willingly believes false doctrines are they a believer...

Well... the devil is a believer.
Satan believes in Jesus and spiritual things we do not understand.

Being a believer does not automatically make you saved.

The 10 virgins are a good parable to show this

All ten believed, all ten were waiting for the coming of the bridegroom.
Waiting and believing in Jesus.

Mat 25:1-13 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ....... and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

2Th 2:10-12
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
