If only he walked with the truth.  Instead, he lurks in the shadows in
an attempt to hide from the discerning. He resembles and mimics sheep
in speech but his spirit is neither gentle nor patient (there is much
palpable anger and contempt).  He is still of this world, clinging to
it, and fearing the idea of being reborn of water and the Holy Spirit.
He is unable to fathom what it means to be no longer of this world

If only he knew LORD Jesus Christ so that he would be standing before
the right altar.  Instead, he knows only doctrine and uses doctrine in
an attempt to limit our LORD's powers.  Indeed, he has denied the Holy
Spirit, Whom our LORD has sent to counsel and guide us in our walk with
HIM. Instead he seeks out the counsel of other sinners (aka spiritual
advisors) and would have others also deny the Holy Spirit in the same
manner.  He reminds me of the Pharisees, whose hypocrisy of rules,
regulations, and doctrines, drew the ire of our LORD Jesus Christ.  He
attempts to hide his hypocrisy by using the language of those Jesus
gave as examples of non-hypocrites such as "God have mercy on me a
sinner" not realizing that he cannot hide what resides in his heart
from GOD.

Nonetheless, I will continue to pray for him as I would any neighbor
whose real name is not known to me. Not because I have been commanded
to do this but because my love for him, my neighbor, compels me to pray
for him.  May he someday publicly confess that Christ Jesus is his
LORD, his Savior, and his GOD so that he will be saved by his faith and
not by his outward adherence to doctrine which are constructs of men.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide, protect, and embolden you, dear
brother whom I love, in Jesus' most precious and holy name.

Amen !

Laus Deo !

Marana tha !

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
