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

I'm going to take my own advice. I have nothing against you, we disagree on certain things, doesn't bother me. I can get past anything unless it is heresy and I address that when I see it. I'm saying full fire all the time doesn't help getting your point across. Until this thread I thought you and I had the "agree to disagree" view. Have no idea where we stand now. Not that it matters. In the end, none of this really matters. To which I ask myself the question "why am I here, why are any of us here"? I just hope we don't go out into the world with a BDF attitude, cause it really stinks.

I have seen this accusation a number of times. Searching the threads this is what comes up
(Shortened quote to make it more viewable)
It is not addressed to anyone. So is this just another slander and false testimony or something real?
How many times do people not accept this is sinful behaviour to bring false testimony?
So if someone lies about conflict what are they? And if they do this like it is natural to who they are
what are they? And who is their father.
I remember someone talking about truth, and things always coming into the open.
False prophets can never hide, the light will always find them before the people of God.

If you have followed me any at all you cannot say I am constantly on fully fire........and a cursory read can tell I deal differently with individuals based upon what they direct my way.......and if you can reread what i have directed at YOU the last few days I have NOT named you personally and have made statements in general about the way SOME respond..........
Just like the writer of THIS THREAD.....she has been on me from day one, making mouthy comments and DOING the VERY THING she is accusing us of....SHE attacked MY family openly by making a mouthy comment and the called me a NAZI and COMMUNIST which HAS gotten people BANNED in the past.......
SOME honesty would be nice once in a while.......serious

Ya, I Pmed you. To call someone a Nazi, or allude to it, just no call for it. IMO these words are thrown around and the make the real meaning of the word void. Nazis were vile, Godless, murderers. I'm not trying to be dragged in on something that's been ongoing here the past few days. That word should never be used except for actual Nazis. Just coming down clearly here on where I stand.

My friend, you got to begin to get real. You are posting things on a public thread, for public comment.
If you want EG to see only post a pm, or putting context around it is important. Your standing is the same
as anyone elses. And you are happy to say I care not for context, which is just I have a different context to
yours. You simply cannot stop these put downs, even when you do things in error. God bless you, friend.
It shows your heart, and your defensive nature, but I do not think this will ever change, the Lord could prove
me wrong, but He seems to be teaching me certain trees are set permanently.
