That's not in the Bible.
Paul said that in the last days people will no longer endure sound doctrine. He didn't say some people but people in general. They would flock to teachers that comfort them. He also said that after he died that savage wolves would come in and devoir the church.

You need to check out your spirit teacher with other believers so you can stay on track with the mainstream. But why argue. If it’s that serious go online.
I'm here, am I not? But I disagree that I need other people. I dont put God's power in a manmade box

Right, that's very different from "the teachers will not teach sound doctrine," which would mean there are no orthodox teachers.
Prove that Jesus isn't with me right now using scripture.
Jesus said He would be where "two or three are gathered" in His name. I don't know anything about you or your spiritual state, I'm just pointing out that we have a positive instruction from the Lord that involves gathering together. That's worth taking into consideration.
Please define it. Thank you.
Prelest is spiritual deception. It would be to your benefit to consider whether you might have fallen into it.
But I disagree that I need other people.

It’s simple, no man is an island. You go by Gods word? I t says don’t forsake the meeting of the saints. You do need people. But if it’s too much go online. It’s ok. God is merciful. But it’s still not what God wants. Soo be humble about it.

I'll explain. First off, it wasn't me who said that I didn't need other people, but its other people on the internet who did that to me. They didn't need me. Secondly I have a girlfriend so that's two people. Thirdly, Jesus is with me regardless of whether I'm alone or not. He promised never to leave me. When you're alone in the prayer closet like Jesus teaches, is Jesus not there.with you?

I'm not forsaking it. I'm here. And besides there are times a person can avoid church which I've already explained.

if your mind is made up why are you fighting. You don’t know it all. And you have a girl friend? Sin causes arguments.

Jesus said to go in your prayer closet alone and pray. How will Jesus not be with me there? God the Father, the son, and the holy spirit are three and I'm four

I'm celibate. A gift from God that I prayed for. I do know everything that we need to know. Test me. Dont give me man's theology but test me to see if I obey and follow Jesus.

Someone with the Holy Spirit would never teach against God’s holy Word. Or against what Jesus taught and how Jesus lived, all for our example 1 John 2:6 1 Peter 2:21-22

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them

Our heart above everything is deceitful Jer 17:9-10 why Jesus taught to live by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God Mat 4:4 and not resort to what feels right to us.

Remember, the Jews thought they were God’s chosen people and had God’s Spirit, but when Jesus came, they received Him not and crucified God’s only Son, so it’s easy to deceive ourselves. Why we need to verify everything with God’s Word and follow the example Jesus left for us.

I quoted you directly. And your OP said as much. Nobody "did that to you."
Secondly I have a girlfriend so that's two people.
Alright, that still doesn't get you to "take it to the church," which is necessarily more than three people if having two or three witnesses isn't the same thing as taking a grievance to the church.
Thirdly, Jesus is with me regardless of whether I'm alone or not. He promised never to leave me.
I thought your contention was that you didn't say you had no need of other believers. Which is it?

Oh boy.

Somewhat. I have been testing you and we all fall short. It’s ok! Just repent and keep praying about it. You’re ok to follow but not perfect yet?! Jesus loves you just as much as me, with all our infirmities. Some we overcome in time, but some not so much. I’m not as sociable as I’d like to be. Mental illness does change one. Obeying the lord is the goal though.

How do you know what people have done to me, my friend? Are you a prophet? I'm taking my problem to the Church now. We are the church. And I dont care if anyone agrees because Jesus is with me. I don't have a need but it helps to have others. But I'll survive alone if need be. I've done it for many years.

Repent of what? Not following your interpretation of scripture?
