I'd say I'd at the MOST, take with a grain of salt what I've seen posted here. At the VERY most.
I’ll make ya a deal..show the Books, Chapters, and Verses that prove what I’ve written as false. Or, have your modern pastor sign up for the chatroom and he can correct me using God’s Word alone. Then I will sincerely apologize here for my false ways, repent and ask God for forgiveness of my false ways, delete my posts containing my false ways, label myself an abominable heretic, join a local religious building, and I will also ask for the mods to ban me from the chatroom so I won’t be able to post my false ways here. Good deal, right?
Refute just 1/2 of what I wrote in this thread using scripture only. Or have your modern pastor come and do it. Actually, cancel that..I will make it easier...just prove one thing and I will do all the above I mentioned...all you have to do is show me where in the scriptures it says to rely on a ‘professional’ or a ‘real member of the clergy’ for God’s truth. Sort of goes against what the Bible says of God being a rewarder of those who dilligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6), or 1 John 2:27, John 16:13, John 14:26, 1 Corinthians 2:10-13, John 7:16-18, John 15:26, John 14:17, John 4:14, Ephesians 4:21, 1 John 2:20-21, 2 John 1:2 for that matter. But maybe I am wrong..show me the verses partner.
Use God’s Word only, I welcome whatever scripture-based correction you or your modern pastor have. No feelings, opinions, churchianity mantras, traditions, or dogmas..no lexicons, concordances, denominational seminary indoctrination, or anything else but The Word. Here’s your chance to display the good fruits of the weekend religious system, and the benefits to be obtained by relying on the pros. I just want the truth, because my walk with the Lord depends on it; teach me.
But something tells me that school is out for the day.
I came to a realization after so many years that everyone, including Christians believes in at least one lie in terms of what's right and what's wrong. We're born and grew up into it and now we think the lie is the truth.
It helped reinforced what I read in 1 John 2:27 and John 16:13.
That is very true. We have all erred in one way or another at some point. And what separates God’s sheep from churchianity’s goats is the heart..the parable of the sower, Matthew 13:3-9 is all about the heart. Same for the parable from Matthew 21:28-32 I posted last night. Matthew 25:31-46,
2 Corinthians 7:10,
Psalm 34:18,
Luke 18:13-14,
1 Samuel 16:7,
Psalm 51:17,
Matthew 15:18-20, James 4:8, Matthew 23:26, Isaiah 55:7, Psalm 119:11 and more..it is obvious what God really cares about. The heart..not vain, regimented weekend religion, seminary degrees, churchianese virtue signaling, pagan holidays, and self-righteous do-gooding to be seen of men. Building-based manmade religion is all about outward appearance, it’s ranks are filled with whited sepulchers (Matthew 23:27)..dressed up all neat and nice on Sunday, acting all Holy Holy Holy for 1 hour a week, they pay their lil’ lip service, then spend the rest of the week paying full service, to no one but their own selves. Chasing money and doing hobbies.
I mean come on..they even refer to the Lord Jesus Christ as ‘my personal Savior’..no, He is not just theirs..He is everyone’s, (
1 John 2:2,
Romans 2:11,
2 Corinthians 5:14-15,
John 3:16,
1 Timothy 2:4,
2 Peter 3:9,
Hebrews 2:9). That phrase ‘personal Savior’ I do not recall in the scriptures. He tasted death for every man..’whosoever’ (John 3:15). There is no ‘accepting Jesus as your personal Savior’, one of the top mantras of weekend manmade religion. That statement alone ‘accepting Jesus’ degrades Him..’ok Jesus, I guess you’re good enough for me, I accept you bro’. No..God accepts us, due to what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us.
I hate manmade religion, and refuse to be stifled by its adherents, gatekeepers, or any gaslighting and projection techniques. Their weekend rituals are vanity, it is the heart that matters to God. Weekend religion = lip service one day a week, the Christian Faith = putting on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-20).
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” —Luke 18:10-14
