The words Jesus spoke were given by the Father, not a webmaster that often turns out to be behind a cult. The men that wrote his words were inspired of God-breathed words that cannot fail.
So you think all believers who own a website are a part of a cult? Is there anyone in the body of Christ that a believer can trust? The point is that Jesus spoke words that were not his own. So this means we can do the same thing.
I prefer to quote scriptures whenever needed to support a statement I write, though surely not needed this moment, yet.
Whenever I quote a Christian article they HAVE Scripture within them. So I do not see the difference in you quoting Scripture versus somebody else.
If you quote something other than scripture I always either click on your link or search the phrase. Whatever comes up, I investigate before replying. I'll often do a search on the webmaster's name, or chase down clues in their pages. Not saying you use their resources, but often I've found quotes here that originated from a site that is based off another site that is based on JW's Watchtower or maybe SDA, RCC, Mormon, and others.
When I quote source links I sometimes will include that I am not affliated with that website and or what all of what that person believes. Truth is truth no matter what. For we both can agree on the truth that grass is green. But that does not mean you hold to all views that I do just because you agree with that particular truth with me. See where I am coming from? Oh, and yes. I do occasionally try and make time to look up their statement of faith. Granted, I do not always do so. But that still does not change a truth of an article I quoted. For example: The RCC believes in the Trinity just like real Bible believing Christians. But does that mean I agree with the RCC in their teachings? No. Do I agree with the JW's and SDA's? No. I do not willingly set out to quote from their websites. Therein lies the difference.
people are into writing like the world thinks of writing. I don't think of someone changing truth by what they write, as that's not logical, nor reasonable. Many people want to sort out false from truth, but don't know where to start.
I don't claim to be inspired of God like Matthew or John was when they wrote scripture. I do believe that by study of the Bible and prayer, and trusting that the Holy Spirit still gives me the right words to say or write is valid for me. If the Spirit gives it, while someone else rejects it, they can't possibly be listening to the same Spirit.
This is dangerous in what you said here. You are believing that you are infallible and that cannot be wrong. The only true tests we have is in asking God, comparing Scripture with Scripture, looking at the context, and in obeying the teachings of Jesus Christ. Only God is perfect and only God will be able to reveal the truth to us according to His will and timing.
That applies to me. How do I know which is right? Not the credentials of a webmaster, but by the word of God.
I can say the same to you when you go to listen to a Pastor at a church or when you listen to a preacher on the radio. Do you think you are the only believer in the universe? It sure sounds like it. Especially when you think no Christian owns a website whereby I cannot quote from them. And again, they use the Word of God.... just like you. How do I know you are not the one who is not false? I can make the same claim against you just as you say about all believers who own websites.
So of course what he might give me So of course my "paint" could definitely change the message of what someone else has written of their own thoughts, or those of someone else they have probably never met, not can they truly find out their background, as with most of us here. So we have to mostly go by content, how it checks out with the Bible.
If that was the case, then why are you talking with other believers here? They could all be members of a cult for all we know. Did you ever agree with someone to only later discover that they were not who they said they were? So I disagree with what you said here. You are trying to control information and the way people communicate and make rules that God has not specifically laid down.
