Since I have been active on these forums (not long; just over 3 weeks) I have repeatedly challenged five people; all five of these either preach heresy, use personal attacks, or both -- three of the five have been banned, one was a misunderstanding (I apologized and ceased pursuit), and one still remains "at large".
There is a problem with these scriptures can anyone see [Discern] the problem? In each one there is something added that shouldn't be there. So don't take them as real Scriptures for the error in them makes them completely wrong!
"A fool gives full vent to his Spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back, unless it's Jason." Proverbs 29:11.
"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear, unless it's Jason." Ephesians 4:29.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, so we must conclude Jason wasn't human." Ephesians 6:12.
'So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, unless it's Jason, then do to him what you would hate done to you." Matt. 7:12.
"You shall not take vengeance or BEAR A GRUDGE against the sons of your own people....Unless his name starts with a 'J ' and ends with an 'n' preceded by 'aso'. Wait no, that would include other Jason's, Never mind just the Jason we have been talking about." Lev. 19:18.
"For the same way you judge Jason, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you...." Matt. 7:2.
Something to look forward to?
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, whoever wants to be my disciple MUST DENY THEMSELVES and take up THEIR Cross and follow me." Matt. 16:24.
Human reasoning may help you sleep at night but I am crushed in pain over how my people have lost their way. May God forgive you all! You could make Jason be person "X" and it would mean the same thing. WOW! I am not worried for Jason, I am worried for you. And know this.... there was no way God was not going to let me not post this. I tried.

Re:
Some people think black people should still be slaves -- are you going to defend those people as well?
Some people think women should not vote -- are you going to defend those people as well?
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. (Gal 5:15)
What I noticed, during my short experience with Jason: On several occasions, and by numerous persons, Jason's compassion towards others was challenged. Publicly, Jason referred to many CC users as "Pharisees", "Evil", "Practising a false doctrine", "Gentiles/Pagans", etc. He did not clarify his offenses/attacks toward others. He rarely was encouraging or edifying and, to the contrary, a majority of his replies were destructive rather than constructive.
He preached that Christians are to remain sinless -- we are to completely eliminate sin from our lives. There is no argument here, except Jason went so far as to say that Christians will not (or do not) struggle with sin for the rest of our Earthly lives. He preached that we can become sinless and perfect in this life, before we move on to the next. Is anyone, but God, perfect? Do you support the view, that you can become sinless without God's grace?
[h=1]Philippians 3:1-11New International Version (NIV)[/h][h=3]No Confidence in the Flesh[/h]3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

Jason often referred to himself as being like Paul. He also often referred to those of us who challenged him as being like the serpent. He did so without remorse, and never once did I see him clarify or apologize when someone took personal offense to his personal accusations. Is this the type of behavior you support, Slave? An admin has banned this user -- what are you intending to communicate to those of us who remain? It looks like a guilt-trip, to me.
My chief disappointment is that I never got the chance to get to know Jason. I never got a chance to fully understand his perspective -- to see if he was essentially correct in his theology, but simply falling short with his delivery methods and people skills.
2 Corinthians 11New International Version (NIV)
[h=3]Paul and the False Apostles[/h]11 I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me!2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.
5 I do not think I am in the least inferior to those “super-apostles.”[a] 6 I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. 7 Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Re:
Jason was not a false Prophet, but the question behind all the rationale for you is does Jesus run your reactions to things you find right and wrong? Do you always take what you have concluded and run it thru God first and last? Was your reaction in this thread to Jason ...right or wrong on his part, and again I don't agree with you about what you have concluded about him, a response Jesus would have given, or that God has commanded you not to give? That now will either be attacked or applied.....

Re:
I never called Jason a false prophet -- but he did refer to people here, as such.
I have made no conclusions about Jason, in fact -- I shared my disappointment as such:
My chief disappointment is that I never got the chance to get to know Jason. I never got a chance to fully understand his perspective -- to see if he was essentially correct in his theology, but simply falling short with his delivery methods and people skills.
I don't understand what you are trying to communicate, Slave.

Re:
You are a slave to one of the two Spirits! Thats biblical! If you don't like that take it up with God. There is no humanism, that doesn't exist! Humanism is ungodly. So your choice in life is whether you are a slave to God or blinded by Satan to think you can be not in Christ and still make it out of Hell, or to think you are in Christ regardless of what God says otherwise. This isn't about you or me..or Jason....it's about God. I will base my eternity on what my Lord has confessed to me thru Christ Jesus and His Word.
