You have not seen all the people in ACC who post things like "You

on?
That conflict. In Christianity it's been going on at least since Paul
disagreed with the Apostles.

I have. Thanks for asking. What does it have to do with this
conversation?
<snip>
Of course there are conflicts between believers and unbelievers, but what
conflict of dogma is there of Bible against Bible? It is scripture which
separates the believers, who are supported by it, from the unbelieversis who
are exposed by it.

It answers your question above about Matt 28:18.
There you go, and the devil is talking through you and your half truths.
Nobody here in ACC has said those words like you do above, liar.
TROLL OFF, AND TAKE THOSE OTHER TROLLS WITH YOU AND TWIST GOD'S WORD AND
THE CHRISTIAN'S WORD ELSEWHERE.

No that is not what I am talking about. I'm talking about all the
conflict believers have with _other_ believes. That is conflict
between Christians - such at here in ACC or between Paul and James.

Just listen to how both sides in a dogma conflict quote the Bible,
each to support their own view.

That is not the case. Christians came first. Then Christian writing
came. Much later someone choose a set of those writings and bound
them into a Bible. The Bible is not the end all be all regarding
Christianity. It was a result of Christianity.

It has nothing to do with why Almighty God needs to be given power.
He is already Almighty by definition. He has all power by His
nature. It indicates the author of Matthew did not see Jesus as
Almighty. The author of Mark did not see Jesus as Almighty either (Mk
6:5 nor all knowing Mk 5:30-32).
Nobody here in ACC has called someone else Satan, fake Christian or
Heritick?
> TROLL OFF, AND TAKE THOSE OTHER TROLLS WITH YOU AND TWIST GOD'S WORD AND

I suppose you think nobody in ACC has told someone else to "Troll off"
either?
So truth serves Satan and lies serve God?
That would fit you well to call the hereticks "Christians", including
yourself. lol Stop it, House, it will not happen.
A large minority of Christians are in fact not Catholic. I believe
you as well are Christian yet not Catholic. If that is the case then
you are unorthodox and thus a heritic. So as one heretic to another -
why worry about who is a heretic?
What happened to your claim that nobody here in ACC has called someone
else a heretick?
What does denomination have to do with it? There are Christians in most
denominations, but there are no denominations in Christians.
The conflict isn't between Christians. The conflict is between believers and
non-believers. That some of the non-believers claim to be Christians,
doesn't make them Christians; it makes them wolves in sheeps clothing. .

You're confused. The words were spoken first, and some who heard them became
Christians, and continued to speak the words, and the writings simply recall
what was said.

It asnswered your question whether or not you can understand it. I cannot
begin to imagine what you think or why you read some things into scripture,
but since He already had the power and was doing God things like forgiving
sins, speaking to a storm to end it, and raising the dead (Matt 11:5). What
has been given to Him is what He already had, but it is now extended to what
He redeemed.
I didn't say denomination has anything to do with it. That would be
too general.
I did mention Catholic. To be Catholic (Roman or Easter) is to be
orthodox. To be Christian, and not Catholic is to be unorthodox.
Randy, Chuck and 6 are heretics who pretend they are orthodox as if
they have the legitimacy of orthodox and then comdem others for the
very thing they themselves do.

That is not consistent with reality.

Are you blind to the spin you put on that?
On one side there are people with beliefs. These are believers.
On the other side there are people with beliefs. These are unbelivers
who twist scripture every which way but strait attempting to justify
their if-I-were-God beliefs.
That both sides have beliefs are what make one believers and the other
unbelievers.
Maybe you should stop spinning.

Have you never played "Telephone"? You have not demonstrated that I

makes you a believer and my belief makes me an unbeliever because you
say so if-you-were-God.

The Christians who are Catholic regard all Christians as brothers, as John
Paul II said to Billy Graham, "we are brothers." His house is not divided,
but that doesn't mean there aren't people who belong to a denomination

I said it. Calling oneself a Christian does not make one a Christian. It is
the belief in the Lord and His word, revealed by His Spirit, which makes one
a Christian. I'm reminded of a Bizarro cartoon in the paper a few years
back. There was a crowd being processed at the pearly gates of heaven, and
one man who had a small scroll in his hand said to another, "They gave me an
award for perfect attendance, and told me to go to hell." He may have played
the part of a Christian, but he wasn't a Christian.

Obviously you don't know Him or His scriptures. The Holy Spirit is not a man
that He plays telephone. And if He were to play telephone, He would not
confuse Himself as He spoke to Himself as His message travelled from person
to person. He says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness" (2Tim 3:16). The scriptures are His words revealed by His
voice within, and they divide the believers from the unbelievers.

Words have meanings, denotations and connotations. And the context of their

chooses one of the different meanings, they miss what is being said.

All of which has nothing to do with anything here since nobody has
claimed that attendance made one a Christian.

Then it is not your place to tell someone with belief in God that they
are not Christian. It is not your place to judge because in your
ignorance you get it wrong - often; very often.

You cannot show that the Holy Spirit said that, nor what 2 Tim 3:16
refers to by scripture. For all you know the author could have meant
specific books that did not wind up in the Bible, or believe a few
that did were not scripture.

No, you do that in your Salem Witch Hunt. If what the Bible says is
true then you are going to have to explain on Judgement day why you
persecuted Jesus, for what you do to the least of these you do to
him. Think about that.

The rest of the world does not make these wild leaps and assumptions

Can't tell the different between reality and your beliefs?
Satan, you're a liar. I address the spirit speaking, it is your demon who
reads what is written and changes it to what you claim. And, as you've been
told again and again and still repeat your lie, identifying the heretic and
the heresy is warning others not to follow them into hell.
Do you ride a broom or a churn?
I do. It's the enemies of Christ who are not my brethren.

He didn't say it of a heretic. He said it of a brother in Christ. His
Spirit recognizes the brethren, the few of the many called.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for

Obviously not, for if you had read the Bible you would have seen "faith, if
it hath not works, is dead" (James 2:17). James is addressing the works of
faith, His works in us, as opposed to Pauls addressing the works of the
flesh..

You need to pay attention. Again:
2 Tim. 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
1 Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are

You're beginning to feel the flames and are in denial. The pursuit of unity
in sound doctrime is what Jesus refers when He speaks of the body of Christ,
the body in which its members have minds of their own: "if thine eye offend
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter
into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell
fire" (Matt 18:9)
And what the Bible says is that the judgment of the Christians is a rewards
judgment, and it is the Christians who judge the world "the saints shall
judge the world" (1Cor 6:2).

There are no wild leaps and assumptions. There is His Word and His Spirit,

that. In your ignorance you deny Him twice in one sentence.

If you read any other book the way you read scripture, the only way you

You just lied about me with "Obviously you don't know Him or His
scriptures". What else could that possibly mean? I suppose it could
mean that you have lost all touch with reality and you are not
responsible for anything you do or say.

There is your problem. That voice inside your head is your own
voice. Don't confuse it with God and you won't be guilty of making
yourself into god. You go off half cocked and down the wrong path
constantly and it's because you believe God told you things you were
only guessing at.

In many cases those "scripture" were third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh, eighth or Nth hand stories that someone heard from someone
who heard it from someone who heard it from someone before it was
written down. And then they were copied hundreds of times before any
of the copies that survived to this day were made. You act like there
is zero uncertainty when we have very good reason to be careful about
who we hurt over what we believe.

Then you should not pursue disunity by attacking believers. And
nobody said attendance or merely identify as Christian is what makes
them Christian so lets have no more of that nonsense out of you.

Sure there was. You assume Jesus is almighty. That means Jesus
always had authority and no authority could be given to Jesus. You
also assume the Bible is always right. Yet Matthew says authority was
given to Jesus. That would make Jesus not almighty. Yet you assert
this all makes sense and can't explain how.

I don't have a problem with that. Now if Dickens had said "I love you

eternity" that would also have a very specific meaning. It would be
sarcasm illustrating the dishonesty of evil dictators. Your ramblings

Because he didn't have it before it was _given_ to him thus Jesus was
not almighty. You pay attention. Words have meaning. Given is a
verb and it denotes someone has something they did not have before.

Then Matthew lied when he wrote Jesus was "given" something. You
can't be given what you always had. But the Bible is not a collection
of various opinions held by men so clearly God is schizophrenic. NOT!
Then stop attacking the _followers_ of Christ.

Proof?
I have NEVER seen that! Stop lying, House.
I didn't say you saw it. Fred claims he regards all Christians as
brothers when clearly he doesn't. He calls many followers of Christ
"enemies of Christ".
So? If they are...
You say "if" _when_ they are not.
If you had some logs then you could make a raft _if_ you had some
rope.
If you had four wheels then you would be a wagon. But you don't.
If the people you hate were not believers . . . but they are.
Why are they enemies of Christ? Cuz you sez so. No other reason.
Why are they evil? Only cuz you sez so.
That is a brilliant argument you have there.
You are a liar. I do regard all Christians as brothers, but I don't regard
His enemies, who do not follow Christ, as brothers. It is you who attacks
Christians to defend blatant heretics.
You lie again, for they are enemies of Christ because they've spoken against
Christ. You offer no scriptures and apparently ignore the ones cited by
others:
"A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of

You still don't get the picture. You are the heretic advocating embracing
the children of Satan and sismissing sound doctrine. It is you and your
kindred spirits of which Christ told us to be rid in the body of Christ, for
it is better to be rid of the disruly members than to burn in hell with
them..

ROTFL!!!! Then why are you defending the ones saying they are Christians but
showing they are not. Scripture tells us whoever says Jesus is not returning
in the flesh is an antichrist, yet when I address the spirit posting that as
Satan
you accuse me of attacking a Christian. Scripture tells us that God would
have all come to repentance and be saved, yet when I address the heretic
saying God predestined all the condemned to eternal torment, you accuse me
of attacking a Christian. That by the way is where this thread started.

That's no lie. You've made it patently clear that you don't know Him. You
said I don't like you, which was news to me, so I asked you why? Since I

Your ignorance confounds you. There is zero uncertainty in the Spirit, for

You aren't very bright. The adversary acquired authority over all mankind at
the fall, the Lord regained authority over the circumcision in Abraham, and
redeemed the rest at the cross. He isn't your kind of God who dominates what
He can. He sets the captives free, He doesn't capture then, even Satan has
his rights for a season (Rev 12:12)

What an idiot! He didn't have authority over the ones redeemed because they
weren't redeemed yet. When they are redeemed and the captives are set free
they are no longer under the Satan's authority. That He sets the captives
free instead making them His captives, is not a matter of His lacking the
might; it is a matter of His word. That He gives Satan his time is not a
matter of might, for He ends it when Satan's time is up. .

Once again you give the bankrupt answer. You can't support your

Thus you are as much a heretic as anybody you persecute. Why do you

I do both just fine. However I know what "explain" means.

When you assert things about people that are not true that is not
sense. Sorry but you don't get to decide who is a sheep and who is a
goat based on how much you like what they have to say.

It's your accusation and it is based on _nothing_. It's your lie. I
happen to know for a fact that one of those you attack loves Jesus.
You don't know a thing about it but you attack anyway. All that while
you feel justified because the voice in your head said to do it.

You tell me what I already know. Then you tell me that I did not know
it and I did not see it. I inform you that I have seen it. You call
me a liar for it. Yet I didn't miss anything. I have no response to
the things you bring up because they are irrelevant, not because I
don't know them.
So it _is_ telling you to make wild guesses and hurt people based on
your private beliefs? Wow you are worse than I feared. See a shrink

It is a false statement and a reasonable person in your position would

I was talking about believers in Christ whom you attack.

So as a heretic, you think you are not a believer? If that is the

You don't have to be Catholic to follow and believe in Christ.

Yeah even the parts of Paul's letters that Paul says are not God's

Ever here the parable about the man who's debt was forgiven then he
found someone who owed him money and pressed charges?
It could also mean factious or divisive as per Titus 3:10 "Reject a
DIVISIVE man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such
a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned" - NKJV.
Cheers.

WHO decides who is "divisive"?????
ALL Protestants were divisive in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
Or we could go by what the word means in English. Then the "divisive"
people would be those who turn to their brothers and sisters in Christ
and call them "enemies of Christ".
I'm going to go with that.
Either way 6 and Stover are heretics. That in itself would be
virtually meaningless if it were not for their hypocrisy for hunting
and exposing "heretics".
Very doubtful

No, it does not. "Catholic" means "universal". We do not
determine heresy as compared to what we think everyone else
believes, but as compared to what the Scripture teaches.
>>You guys act like it's such a big deal,

Again, orthodox as compared to Scripture, not necessarily what
other people believe.

Correct. But it's important to note that this is referring to
people who cause divisions according to unsound doctrine, not
divisions that result from holding fast to the truth:
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and
vain. (Titus 3:9 KJV)
We need to be careful about that, because the idea that we
dare not say or do anything that causes any kind of division,
lest we be an heretick, would mean certain compromise with
doctrinal error and an ungodly walk:
(Galatians 2:5 KJV) To whom we gave place by subjection, no,
not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue
with you.
(Galatians 2:14 KJV) But when I saw that they walked not
uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto
Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the
manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest
thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at
variance against his father, and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And
a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that
loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and
he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of
me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me,
is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it:
and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
(Matthew 10:34-39 KJV)
(Revelation 2:6 KJV) But this thou hast, that thou hatest the
deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
(Revelation 2:15 KJV) So hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Again and again, Timothy and Titus are told to hold and stand
fast in the truth and sound doctrine, and avoid unsound
doctrine and behavior.
Thus, an heretick is someone who causes divisions according to
unsound doctrine, not someone who holds to the truth, even if
it causes divisions.

Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone,
not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess.
1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone gets the
glory (Eph. 2:8-9).

This is so wrong on several levels. First of all heresy means
rejecting established doctrine. That is what you do. You pick and
choose which established doctrines you reject. What are these
established doctrines you reject? They were established by
Catholics. If you accepted them then you would be either RC or GO.
Yes as a heretic you go around looking to exposes heretics. That is
hypocrisy.

Orthodox means "right opinion". It's compared to established doctrine
- established doctrine that you reject. These heretics you persecute
are trying to follow scripture but you hate them because they have a
different opinion about the meaning of various scripture. Even though
you are unorthodox you act like you are orthodox.

And by that meaning you are a heretic as well. For look who is going
around attacking followers of Christ and divining the Church.
> But it's important to note that this is referring to

That would be you. "Sound" doctrine means standing up to tests, that
is with merit or does "sound" mean established? Under either meaning
you lose.

Oh please. You know nothing of truth. If you saw truth you would

Doesn't this tell you to not divide the Church by persecuting other
Christians due to their religious beliefs?

You attack those who love Jesus. This verse is not telling you to be

And what doctrine would that be? Notice how doctrine pops up in the
2nd century books of the Bible when it is missing from the 1st century
ones?

2nd century.

That is still you.

You do not hold to truth.
You can't get around it. By any definition you are a heretic. By
picking one def over the other you can make the people you persecute
not be heretics. Whether they are or not it is the fact that you call
them what you are that makes you a hypocrite as well.
And if sound means 'with merit' or 'able to withstand testing' then
you are in double trouble.

That should read ". . . would be either RC or EO". Of course Russian
and Greek are both subsets of Eastern Orthodox.
Ever heard that the guy who came to the man who was forgiven was
himself confessing his debt and asking for forgiveness?
Yes. Di has confessed her sins and asked forgiveness. You imply Di
is a witch. Then the former witch laughed and encouraged you. It is
fitting that the former witch has your back and supports you as you
imply others are witches.
For what?

Where did I say anything about anyone being a witch? Quote your

All. Sinner's prayer - Jesus comes into their hears - all fall short
- the whole 10 yards.

Okay, looking up thread I see Stover did it. So Di asked forgiveness
and loves Jesus. Stover implied Di is a witch. The former witch
laughed at that backing up Stover. I pointed out that former witches
should not laugh at someone being falsely accused of being a witch.
And then you joined adding something irrelevant that implies Di is
unrepentant.

Everyone who has proclaimed a different doctrine than the doctrine of

I do know Christ said that. You are the one who doesn't know it, and the

second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and
sinneth, being condemned of himself" (Titus 3:10-11). He's already
condemned, speaking against the Holy Spirit, the Author, isn't forgiven.
Another esample of embracing the heretics and attacking the Christian.

Satan, your a liar. There are no voices in my head, simply the discernment
of the Holy Spirit, who revealed what disagrees with your opinions, and you
denied His discernment and mocked His promise of discernment.

Like this? "I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as
one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful' (1Cor 7:25)? Of
course! .
It is you, not Paul, who says it is not God's word. You are too anxious to
dismiss His word, so you can ignore it and make yourself God. You ignore His
attributing to the Spirit: "I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained
mercy of the Lord to be faithful.'

Crawl back under your rock, Satan.
But some know the meaning of "reject" and "condemned" and do not attack
Christians who do not embrace the devil and his followers.
Again, Titus 3:10-11
A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of
himself.
Why can't you follow his example and accept your brothers in Christ?

Is "scriptural fact" some kind of double talk for "not a fact"? Yes I
made the analogy with the "Telephone" game. So far nobody has been
able to refute it. So far none of this proves your claim that I
advocate embracing the children of Satan or dismissing sound
doctrine. Of course I mean "sound" in the sense of having merit and
being able to withstand testing. Perhaps you mean "sound" in the
sense that it might be completely lacking in merit and cannot
withstand the simplest of tests but the Catholic church established it
and called it "sound" for the purposes of propaganda. I would dismiss
that kind of doctrine if that is what you meant.

Show me the proof. Remember I didn't ask for proof that this story
appears in some literature - say written by either the authors of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, or perhaps by Paul or so on. I'm asking if
you have proof that the real Jesus really said it.

You seem to think heretics are not Christian when the leader of the
main Orthodox branch embraced heretics as brothers in Christ. If the
pope can do it for Graham then why can't you do it too, since you are
as much a rejector of established doctrine as any other heretic?

I know. I have never said nor implied that the HS was not God. I
have also never said nor implied that I was God.
See you can look at a blank screen and read things that are not
present. I never said or implied those things but somehow you got the
idea that I did. That idea was internal to you. It came from you.

Because I do not brag about how God puts divine discernment strait
into my brain like he does not do for everyone else and this knowledge
makes me a better Christian than everyone else. Yet you do claim

The NKJV and the NIV use "Divisive" instead of Heretic and the NASB
uses "Factious"
Titus 3:10-11 (New King James Version)
Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright � 1982 by
Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved
10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11
knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being
self-condemned.
Titus 3:10-11 (New International Version)
10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After
that, have nothing to do with him. 11 You may be sure that such a man
is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned
Titus 3:10-11 (New American Standard Bible)
10 Reject a (B)factious man after a first and second warning,
11knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being
self-condemned.
Now the footnote for factious lead you to this verse
Romans 16:17 (New American Standard Bible)
17 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause
dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned,
and turn away from them.
Matt
As you know, Satan, but continue to repeat your lies I do accept and defend
my brothers in Christ. It is the folks with the doctrines contrary to Chrost
who I do not accept.

Don't change the subject, you denied that scripture is the word of God. I
have not denied it and I do have every word with His scriptures and His
Spirit, and in Him I have everything.

You lie, Satan, that the Holy Spirit will reveal all and provides His
discernment to His, refutes your other lie that His scriptures have not been
accurately transmitted.
That it is written in the scriptures, which you deny, does not alter the
fact that we who do follow Him have received His word.

You know what I mean by sound doctrine, Satan, for you've been told and told
and told that sound doctrine is revealed in scripture, the scriptures you
deny: Again, the relevant scriptures you presume irrelevant because His word
disagrees with you opinion: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in righteousness" (2Tim 3:16), "But the natural man receiveth not the things
of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1Cor 2:14).

There's nothing funny about an exorcism, though the events may be when its
over, but I wasn't recommending your being exorcised when you'd welcome the
spirit to return. The exorcist would confirm the demon, then the exorcist
would work with your denial, and when you were prepared to have it cast out
to remain out, he would exorcise you.

That's what a heretic in the KJV means, divisive, teaching against the
doctrines of scripture. That the heretic is already condemned and should be
rejected is what reveals that it is the sin not forgiven: "whosoever speaks
against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
neither in the world to come" (Matt 12:32).

They tell you things that are false and then you brag about this
discernment that mislead you and how it proves you are a real
Christian and those without it are not.

You have no clue which doctrines are contrary to Christ. You yourself
reject established doctrine. That is what makes you a heretic. Yet
you insist in hunting people who are just like you and pretending they
are enemies of Christ.

Yes I'm sure there is a Bible verse that talks about Dr. House of Alt

I would be _crazy_ to suggest no such verse exists in the Bible.

You mean in your fantasy world where you are God. You don't have to

You don't understand what any of these words mean do you? You are

Spouting off your opinion and calling me Satan/liar a thousand times

you did these evil things to Him.

Let me guess - you would throw me in a river and if I drown then I was
innocent. But if I float then I'm a demon - or even
Satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah but you have already "discerned" that I am
Satan so we could skip that part - right?

No silly, I find that God does not lie. That is why I think your

_can't_ be from God.

So you say, Satan, but He says: "the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things" (John
14:26): "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned" (1Cor 2:14). And contrary to your lies, what He

Right, and in your ignorance you call knowledge "belief" you're the one who
thinks faith isn't knowledge: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb 11:1). By believing His followers
receive His Spirit, which gives them the knowledge you ridicule because you

Your an idiot. You saw contradiction in unity. Paul taught letting Christ
live in us, not trusting in the works of the flesh, and James teaches the
same addressing the works of faith, His works in us, not the works of the
flesh. It is when His works weren't seen in us that He wouldn't be living in
us and our faith would be dead.

By calling them Satan? By with acceptance like that who needs
rejection?
It was a question. Don't you need an answer for it to be correct?

I don't dispute what Hebrews says. You have no proof that it wasn't
written by a man.
You think anything you believe is fact and that is the source of your

I've only taken confession once and the priest stopped it for some
reason. I think it's because he realized I was not Catholic. I don't
know why because he was holding a form that said I was not Catholic.
Maybe he didn't read it. Most of the conversation was in a language I

Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone,
not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess.
1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone gets the

The scriptures I cite do not reject establiahed doctrine, and your

You've done nothing but attack scripture and Christians who believe them.

The scriptures I cite prove the doctrines, and that the people with
different doctrines are contradicting scripture.
<Satan's repeated babble snipped.
Dumbo still isn't clear on the fight being spiritual. He still thinks he's

You have to remember that Satan doesn't consider scripture reality.
Both are idiots.

the nations that there is no devil, and that there is no God but his own
ideas.

Good so.
He should troll off and leave the Christian folks in peace wth his
babble.
Amen.
What I have asked you to do was prove something. You can't and I have
pointed out that you can't. When you hurt other people you are doing
so over your opinion. Can't you see why that is wrong? My point has
been confirmed. You don't accept or defend your brothers in Christ.
You call them Satan because you jump to conclusions and misjudge them.

Of course not. You are the one who does that. Your heresy is your

you form.

My accusations have been confirmed true by you. You have admitted
that you are Protestant. Would you like to see the place where you
admitted it? Protestants reject established doctrine.
But in your hypocrisy you think it is okay to be your kind of heretic
but not okay when someone else goes through the same process and
arrives at slightly different opinions. People like you have been
dividing Christianity for thousands of years.
> You've offered no doctrine.
What does that have to do with anything?
> You've done nothing but attack scripture and Christians who believe them.
You are not attacked for being a Christian, but rather for being a
hypocrite who attacks others. It's about your behavior. Why don't
you make a change?

Yes, that is the excuse you use in order to justify being a heretic.
There is nothing wrong with being a heretic. The funny part is when
you want to pretend that your heresy is orthodox and you need to hunt
down every other kind of heretic and expose them all for not being
your kind of heretic.
