Your prayer has been answered! He has revealed my heart to Truth! I do hope to be corrected... if i am wrong. I don't rely on my wisdom though, but God's alone. I should not have included my studies, but by no means did i say i was better than you. I was not providing lip service either. I will say this though... your words are a witness against you brother. You are putting words in my mouth and also adding your own opinions and inferences to the scripture. You are telling others that things in The Bible are not true and then saying everything else is true. That is doubleminded. Yeshua says ALL IS IN EFFECT. Beware the leaven of the pharisees. The fact that you use the word "wish" is very telling. Ever heard if the goddess demi? It's in the Bible... don't you know using the word "wish" is paying homage to her? Do you see me yelling at you about it. No. Loving correction and pointing you to the answer is what we are called to do. Even though you acted in, by using the word "wish", what you call the abominations of everyone you are pointing fingers at, i will not berate you. You tell me i have a lot of reading to do, but it is obvious you have not read the Bible and if you have, you are ignoring much. It is apparent you are very angry and i pray God Our Father seasons you with salt and gives you some peace. It is not studying that qualifies me in the scriptures, it is The Word of God who sanctifies me. I am being Sanctified with Truth. I don't need to defend any of my positions. I will, just like Yeshua Himself, let Scripture defend me. Take note of The Words Of God Almighty Himself. If you argue with that... you will argue with anyone and there is nothing more to say. Telling anyone to not give messages about God's Love is dangerous and for all the lip service you give about denying Truth... you yourself deny Him. Repentance should be taught, but how can someone repent before they know their sin? How can they know their sin if they don't have someone offer them knowledge and Love of God first before berating them? I hope you find what you are looking for. Behold Israel! The Word of God:
““Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:17-20
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
“Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.”
I Corinthians 8:1-2
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
I Peter 4:7-10
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."
I Corinthians 13:1-8
“A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”
Proverbs 15:1-2, 4
“Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.””
Matthew 16:6
