anti-christian

[refugepsa91]

We are supposed to warn our brothers if they sin or do wrong, follow a false doctrine, after we warn them we can walk away. But if we don't then their wrong is also on us. Notice I did not say rip them apart or malign them. Just warn them in love.

Yes things can get heated, it is this "itching ears" (check Timothy) syndrome that seems to be running rampant nowdays. There are false teachers out there...the Bible told us there would be...and boy are they getting good at using enough truth to pull us in.

We must always remember that a kind word goes alot farther than wrathful words.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. <> 1 John 3:18

Pray for those that use harsh words, pray before you post.

Love and Blessings,

Angel

If only I could describe the concern and anguish in my heart when I see discussions like this. Christianity is in a terrible state accepting all kinds of false teaching and divisiveness Exactly because of such TOLERANCE.

Today good Christians get rebuked for standing up against false teaching!!!

I simply cant understand this and it can only be Satans tool. People should start reading there bibles properly again and TAKE NOTE of how PAUL STOOD AGAINST FALSE TEACHERS.

Loving acceptance for the teachings of Benny Hinn and the like NEVER NEVER NEVER

Acceptance of Christs teaching once and for all handed down to the saints. YES YES YES AND A GLORIOUS AMEN. I shall settle for nothing else.

And please note I said teachings of Benny Hinn and I will continue to pray for him and his false brothers. As God has warned them and I fear what awaits such men.

2Pe 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.

2Pe 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

2Pe 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;

2Pe 2:5 if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2Pe 2:6 if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;

2Pe 2:7 and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked

2Pe 2:8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);

2Pe 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,

2Pe 2:10 and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones,

2Pe 2:11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.

2Pe 2:12 But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction,

2Pe 2:13 suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you.

2Pe 2:14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

2Pe 2:15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing,

2Pe 2:16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.

2Pe 2:17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.

2Pe 2:18 For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error.

2Pe 2:19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.

2Pe 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

2Pe 2:21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

2Pe 2:22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire."

Exactly, refugepsa91.

I don't see anyone of the ones who object to the bashing, myself included, that believe we ought to accept or even tolerate false teaching. But the "cure" of using name-calling and accusatory denouncings is just wrong.

In addition, many of the ones denouncing the loudest have their own false teaching that they believe and defend if pushed to say what they do believe rather than what they heard someone else said someone said that is just so "off" in their lights.

Like some medicines, the cure is worse than the disease.

As always, though, when anyone goes against majority opinion, there is heat.

This is making me crazy. There are two threads cirulating right now that say I'm going to hell for my disobedience to the word. I married a divorced woman so I am going to hell and I'm thinking of getting a vasectomy so that to is insuring my place in the lake of fire. Why should I bother to try and be a good christian when I'm already condemned? I agree with the OP of this thread about the abuse of one another in this forum. I am really confused with what I should do with the remainder of my life now.

I guess there are a lot of us that are on our way to hell if a vasectomy will send you there. I guess I missed that thread Gerioke.

Gerioke,

Have they told you that you are going to hell? Or have they just said it is a sin? If the former, then please report the posts. If the latter.....well some things are sins, some things are not. Praise the Lord that He forgives us our sins, whatever they may be. I have a few too many sins myself.

I noticed the divorce thread seems to have disappeared. Some people believe that contraceptives are an unpardonable sin.

Oh but praise the Lord, we don't have to worry about what some people think! We only have to be concerned with what our Father thinks.

1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

I think we as Christians need to step back and listen a little. People who are struggling with their faith don

If you stick around long enough you'll begin to recognize who has sound doctrine with wise counsel and who are the wackos. Unfortunately, it seems you've encountered most of the wackos.
