Yes but even our 14 year old little sis recognized it for what it was so... I think we should heed God's words on the matter and "let them alone".
Just a recommendation. you all can pray and ask God what to do on the matter.
Matthew 15:14
Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
2 Peter 2
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.[c]
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped[d] from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption;
I'm still reminded of the playground bully and his lackeys. the bully who cries victim whenever anyone of authority is watching but who torments the other kids when they think they can get away with it.
I think we should not allow the cries of being a victim hold any weight. If we do not give the bully or his lackey's any words to fashion into fiery darts to sling at us.
I was thinking earlier today.
Are your words a two edged sword that cuts both you and the hearer or are they darts that you shot at others but never apply to yourself?
I think the answer is very telling to the nature of the spirit living inside of both the speaker and the hearer: what is spoken and how the person responds.
anyways I'll catch you girls and gents on another thread, where the person wields a doubled edged sword and not just slinging darts.

Love as in making a whip and driving out the money changers? Come on man face a little reality that is in Christ.
Jabs? You need to take a long look at who you are. It isnt I who is denying they can have the Christ in them and live in His perfections. And it isnt I who says He cant come and take away your sins and be one in Him. Read your own confessions and compare them to what Christs you shouldt to be. Examine that what is in you. You just might see you are a sinner insetad of His righteousness as you say you are.
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
( Colossians 1:27-29 )
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 )
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. ( Ephesians 4:6 )
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
( John 17:21-23 )
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
( 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 )

you got a secret about zoney Redster?
don't keep anybody in suspense...telll everybody what it is.
"you all" know better?........who is "you all"?
One of the most grotesque aspects of the sociology of modern American protestantism is the phenomenon of Christian Zionism.
~
The Scofield Reference Bible is the transparent bible forgery for changing fundamental Christianity into Rothschild’s Zionism. Today it shamefully dominates the bible colleges and seminaries, beginning with the Moody Bible Institute and Dallas Theological Seminary and pulpits of evangelical churches of America.

I'm tired of this game.
I can't take you seriously. I can't take ANYONE seriously who claims they do no wrong.
Your message is NOT Jesus Christ's message, no matter how you try to twist and tweak things to make it SOUND SIMILAR.
Jesus Christ died for MY sins, and YOUR sins (yes, you HAD and STILL HAVE the pesky HUMAN FLESH--oh wait, unless you're going to claim you're not even human...in which case,your entire argument makes perfect sense).

On ly you said I am. Truth is I am Gary who has the same Spirit in me Jesus had in him. If you had in you that what Jesus had in him,you could do it yourself.
Even Jesus couldnt do many mighty works in some because of their doubt and unbelief. If I hoped on a plane, which is impossible, and came to you, you wouldnt believe it anymore then you believe Him now. If you believe Him it would be YOU laying hands on the sick and they recover, for these signs DO follow those who believe. It is that you dont believe Him at all.
