I am no more than a man. To disagree with me means nothing at all.

And there in lies the problem. While you may see yourself as a watchman or a defender of the faith, in truth your actions reveal what truly lives inside of your heart. It's obvious that any compassion that you express is a mask that can be taken on and off at your convenience. Why not admit that you love to argue, you love the attention, you love knowledge and the idea that you are right (in your own opinion, that is) and others are wrong. Basically, you place more value on knowledge over the souls of others and that makes you wrong at heart regardless if your words might be right.
Matthew 5: 43-44
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
Your hatred and ridicule of anyone who takes a stand against your views proves that you are no better than the "pharisees" from which you claim to defend the faith from. You are every bit the wolf in sheep's clothing as those you point the finger at.
1st Corinthians 13:2-5
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
A fine example of the religious apostate church who neither knows or cares about the heart of God.

you would love all that to be true.
but the problem is, it isn't.
i love the integrity of Christ's Word, His Cross, the True Gospel, and THE LOST.
i love christians who know they're not worthy, who admit they aren't perfect, who love the truth no matter what it costs them.
you have come in trashing calvinists, justification by grace, you've taken great glee in calling me jezebel, saying cessationists are devoid of the Spirit at best, Finney is a great example of sound theology and real revival....on and on.
so, when that comes in, i'll attack it.
the zeal for the The Lord's word, the knowledge of HIS FINISHED WORK burns in me like a fire, 'Fire On The Altar'.
i despise the man-centered gospels, the signs and wonders junk, the self righteous make my stomach hurt. you talk about love all you want to. love isn't amening false doctrine.
love isn't sitting in your high seat, or boasting of your great revivals.
and i couldn't care one iota what you think of me....k?
Revelation 2:21
“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.
