Who do you serve? the LORD Jesus Christ or religion?
You are trying to make a personal attack, so whom do you serve? False teachers or the Lord Jesus Christ? You have brought many false teachings to this forum, so take care. You have presented a quote which does NOT address anything. It Just shows that anytime you are in disagreement with someone, they are deemed to be liars by you. That is simply disgusting. The days of signs and wonders are long gone. If not present actual evidence to refute that.

Yeah, i know, you found me out..........NOT

When so called 'bible scholars' and 'religious teachers', who should know better, but then add to God's words and/or take away from His word's = then Yeah, i will call them out every time.

i reached out to you in love many many times and you fumed at me instead of searching the scriptures to SEE.

HOWEVER, you can(i already have) join in the Spirit of Truth and reject anything and everything you have been taught that contradicts Scripture = it's the only WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

P.S. - i always give you positive marks whenever you speak Truth = for you have posted some Truthful Facts from Scripture.

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. "

ALSO - you look at me as your enemy, but i SEE you as my Brother, thru our Savior = the LORD Jesus Christ.

Therefore, everyday the sun rises anew and everyday the SON of Righteousness is there for us.

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth(religion) will grow strangely dim,
In the Light of His Glory and Grace."

FACT NO. 4—That the Bible definitely teaches that water baptism was and is a part of Israel’s religion (Heb. 6:1-2; 9:10).
No, it is not. Hebrews was written to Jews, but Hebrews 6 is not about the Jewish religion. That is clearly established in verse 1: "the elementary doctrine of Christ".

It was for the remission of sins and was by sprinkling (Mark 1:4; Acts 2:38; Ezek. 36:25).
Water baptism is for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) and the pledge of a good conscience toward God (1 Peter 3:21). None of those passages teach baptism by sprinkling. The word itself means immersion.

There is no importance attached to water baptism, today. It is not a part of Christianity and only causes confusion.
Then why did Peter tell the 3000 to be baptized? Why did Aeneas baptize Paul? Why did Peter baptize Cornelius? Why did Paul baptize Crispus and Gaius? Why does Paul specifically teach on it in Romans 6? The only confusion is from people who teach falsehood on the matter.

FACT NO. 5—That we must understand the two-fold ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That's not a basic Bible fact either, but an interpretation that is not even essential.

During His earthly ministry He ministered exclusively to Israel:
That is simply incorrect. While He primarily ministered to Israel, He also ministered to a handful of non-Israelites.

He is saving men according to His gospel of Grace. He is at The Throne
Of Grace Making Intercession for us (Rom. 8:34). We are to live in Paul’s epistles where pure Christianity is found. This is not to say we should neglect the rest of the Bible. It is ALL for us but not all TO us.
All of the epistles are for our instruction, not just Paul's. Peter, James, John and Jude (as well as the anonymous writer of Hebrews) all have important lessons for the believer.

Prayed for your friend Ronnie...
I love to hear that the Lord is calling , and He is using you to direct the steps to help him......
Update -
I gave Ronnie a Bible and he was very happy to receive it and is reading it.

Thank you for your prayers for Ronnie.

P.S. - Ronnie has a small Barber Shop(just himself) in a Jew/Gentile community with Chabad just down the road there are both J&G that come into his shop. My Jewish father-in-law(Lee) is friends with Ronnie.
Ronnie is a catholic but is searching.

Pray for salvation to be granted Ronnie and Lee and that the Holy Spirit turns the Barber shop into a Witness for Messiah in this community.

All things are possible with God.
