I am not a liar, and I don't think it can be right for you to call other posters on Christian Chat liars. Just because I don't agree with your strange doctrines doesn't mean I am lying.
When the Lord Jesus called the Jews “liars,” He was not referring to their physical lives but to their spiritual condition. They insisted that they knew the one true God, but the truth was that they did not.

That is why He called them liars: they refused to accept the truth that, because they did not know the one true God, they remained spiritually blind and unable to see.
JOHN 9:40-41
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

And the Lord Jesus confirms Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35.
There are people today who insist that they know the one true God.
However, they have not been given the sight to recognize that the events described in the Old and New Testaments continue to unfold.

You don’t want to be called a liar. You say that you believe in the Lord Jesus. Yet here is a very simple command from the Lord: “Work out your own salvation,” and you cannot even do that.
Where is the faith in the Lord Jesus that you claim to have?
PHILLIPIANS 2:12
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Why don’t you just speak for yourself instead of dragging other visitors into this?
Besides, it’s just the two of us talking. Why are you suddenly involving them in our conversation?
Are you afraid to face the truth on your own, so you seek the sympathy of others just to have someone on your side?

But Jesus calling people who didn't believe in Him liars is quite different from you calling other posters here on Christian Chat liars. Jesus Christ as fully God, knew men's hearts. You don't. Just because I don't agree with your very unusual interpretations of Scripture, that doesn't make me a liar.

It is not a matter of whether I want to be called a liar or not, but whether you can possibly know whether I tell lies or not. Give me just one example of me telling a lie. (And it is not lying to say that I don't agree with your interpretations of the Bible).

As usual, you have grossly misunderstood the passage you quote.

It is NOT saying that we each must avoid all other people as we journey through life, and eschew the assistance of others in our walk with the Lord. NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

Further, EVEN IF you had correctly interpreted the verse (which you most certainly have not!), YOU'RE STILL WRONG because I have contributed of my own accord without David having requested my involvement. You cannot rightly hold him guilty for something he has not done. So your accusation that he is a liar on this basis is empty, false, and stupid.

I have been responding to your ignorant drivel since you first joined this site, long before David did.

He has not requested my involvement at all. I first commented at the top of page 2. Stop making ridiculous false accusations.

Further, it's NOT just the two of you talking here. This is a DISCUSSION FORUM open to all members of the site. Deal with it.

JOHN 14:12
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

John 14: 10-11 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Our reality is in the mind of the Almighty God, the Father. He is called the Father because he fathers realities. That is how He has all those qualities and powers. In a vacuum with nothing in it and nothing happening, time does not exist. In our reality time began when He placed a living being in it and calls him His Son. According to Isaiah 63: 9-10, the Holy Spirit is the "angel of His presence". Where the Holy Spirit is, the Father is. The Father's glory is His Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, the Father is able to interact in our reality through the being that He indwells with His Holy Spirit. He fills His Son with His Holy Spirit, and the Son is full of the Father's mind and power. The Son loves the Father and shows his love by obedience. That is why the Son is the image of the invisible God, the Father, sits on His right hand, and is "one" with the Father. The Father loves the Son and shows His love by creating our reality with His mind and power through the Son which He indwells and for His Son.
John 14: 18 I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
When Jesus went back to the Father after he lived, died, and rose again, he went back to get glorified. That means that he was given the same Glory that he had before the world was. He was given a spiritual body made up of those souls that he baptized with his Holy Spirit. The Son was then able to enter the beings he baptizes with the Holy Spirit, and when the Son enters, so does the Father who is in him. Just like Jesus spoke the words of the Father and was able to do the works of the Father because the Father was in him. We who have the Son in us will speak the words and thoughts of Christ and do his works. Jesus was going to come back when he sent the comforter and through the Comforter (the Holy Spirit). Read all of John 14.
