Is your list intended to cover all possible views?

I see that few people have attempted to answer your question. Yes, we are supposed to test “prophecy” with Scripture. You may do that by considering these things: Does it contradict Scripture? If so, it’s not from God. Bear in mind that “an interpretation of Scripture” is not the same thing as...

You completely misread that. Since Jesus IS God, He IS good. Your conclusion is heretical.

Understand then that most beliefs under the umbrella of Christianity are secondary; differences won’t affect your salvation or anyone else’s. I won’t articulate them, but I propose that the number of non-negotiable issues doesn’t exceed ten. What will endanger another person’s salvation is...

Welcome to CC!

Would you prefer that I call your bad arguments "manure"? I don't, because at least manure is useful. As I have said, pointing out a single verse from one translation and a different verse from another translation is not providing evidence that any particular translation "teaches" error. What...

Unfortunately, you use circular reasoning to defend your position. Comments like “people caught up in the Modern Bible Movement” are implicitly derogatory. Saying it goes back to the Garden implies it’s a sin issue. That’s all c**p and has nothing to do with evidence. It only makes you sound...

Then, as a matter of integrity, perhaps you can refrain from making assertions in your posts about the reliability of modern translations until you have made the (alleged) evidence available.

So far I have seen short lists of your misinterpretations of scattered verses from a variety of translations. You have not provided clear, coherent, conclusive evidence that any particular translation “teaches” error.

Belief in the fullness of His teaching. Following His leading. Seeking His help in overcoming sin and becoming like Him.

You don't believe obedience earns salvation, but you imply that obedience is necessary prior to salvation. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

Obedience only makes sense in the context of an ongoing relationship. There must be a beginning point at which there is no "obedience" yet, but there is salvation. Otherwise, salvation depends on obedience.

That's silly. If that's all you think that Jesus saved us from, you don't understand the Christian gospel... as you have amply demonstrated.

My favourite gospel is the one that says that Jesus died to pay the penalty for my sins so that I could spend eternity with Him.

Of course it's okay. Welcome to CC! Because this is a discussion board and not a live chat, studying together is a little different than sitting around a room having an in-person conversation. That said, I suggest you share some observations as you go, and people will respond. Just be aware...

Step up with evidence. Address the “false teachings” in ONE (major) modern translation.

With no offense intended, this strikes me as irrelevant and worthless speculation.

Exactly. The answer to “What should we DO?”, the answer is “Believe”, not “Mimic”.

Answer my question first: Do you believe that all male Christians must be physically circumcised in order to be saved?

Or, put more succinctly, “Blah blah blah.”
