So, the apostle Matthew was guilty of a pretext when he wrote Matthew 2:15 as a quote from Hosea 11:1. For he applied "I called my son out of Egypt" to Jesus when in the original context that referred to Israel.
Also, 2 Corinthians 9:6, when interpreted in its immediate context, supports the idea of financial sowing and reaping; which is a health/wealth, word of faith, prosperity, name-it-and-claim it dogma. But if you utilize the hermeneutic of 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv) and take it out of its context and apply Luke 8:11, you come up with a more orthodox interpretation.
And also, in John 19:37, John applies to the crucifixion a verse that in its original context referred to the 2nd coming (Zechariah 12:10).

I pray that the Lord will abundantly bless you for your disparagement of me. I hope and pray that He might give you the desires of your heart; and that you would have a heart that is not characterized by Jeremiah 17:9 but has been changed through Ezekiel 36:25-27 to a Luke 8:15 heart.
This is indeed a blessing and not a curse.
The next thing may be counted partially as a curse: I pray that the Lord may abundantly bless you and also receive you as a son.

I would just encourage you to ask, seek, and knock concerning receiving the unction that I am speaking of.
I think that you are going to find that God is going to rock your world and turn it upside down. Much of what you believe will be turned on its head as you begin to submit your opinions to what the word says by the Holy Ghost.

Pastor Romaine of the Calvary Chapel Movement was the one who originated that "playground retort".
And, he was pretty old when he spoke it for the first time.
However, I would simply point out the following scripture,
Mat 18:3, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

To believe that the Holy Spirit will teach you what is readily available by simple REAL scholarship is nuts.
We aren't talking about even difficult dry reading here but simple deductive reasoning from the scriptures using the most basic of hermeneutics.
But some people believe that the Holy Spirit within them is a reason to disregard the scriptures and license to twist them into saying what they want it to say instead of what it does say.

No....I didn't lie...but apparently you didn't understand a word I said because you showed zero scholarship of even the most basic understanding of the flat reading of scriptures in your reply and then are trying to disparage me by supposedly psychoanalysis...
Which shows even more violations of anything that the Holy Spirit would lead you to do. I don't know what spirit you follow but it doesn't seem very holy or even logical.

So, you are saying that you do not love me enough to help me know my sin in order that I might repent.
I do believe that in this, you are being disobedient to Jesus' commandment to love one another; and, if you perceive me to be an enemy, to love your enemies.
Because I love you and desire that you might go to heaven; even though you act towards me as an enemy.

ANSWER
Apollos was an evangelist, apologist, church leader, and friend of the apostle Paul. Apollos was a Jew from Alexandria, Egypt, described as “eloquent,” “mighty in the Scriptures,” “fervent in the spirit” and “instructed in the way of the Lord” (Acts 18:24). In A.D. 54, he traveled to Ephesus, where he taught boldly in the synagogue.
So changing the word "husband" to suit your sensibilities. You should read up on 2 Peter 3:16.
You have enough discernment to know abominations? I doubt that. But consider this, when you have a 100% correlation between effect A and effect B, without knowing what is the cause and effect, would siding with A be supporting B? Look up mainline churches, woman pastors, homosexual marriage.
There is no need for further responses. I think I have learned all need from you. I leave you with the last words.
