@Squeakybro,
Quote:Your first instinct is to doubt what is written
Your assumptions here are incorrect Squeaky, I value every word and expression that I read in scripture, both Hebrew and Greek, so much so that I don't put up with abuse of the text and the twisting of scripture to the benefit or theological spin of a given interpretor. How many times have I shown you where scripture does not support what you have used it for? Should I not check scripture to see if it is really so? Acts 17:11, Should I not test your "divine expressions" 1 John 4
What on earth did you do for 14 years if you didn't study?
I pray for holy spirit, and for understanding, and when I study the scriptures, they make sense, I don't claim divine interpretation or superior knowledge, I am a human being that will make mistakes, but I rest assured in the fact that I make them in good motive and clean conscience.
I find it peculiar that you quote 2 Thessalonians 2 to condemn me for studying scriptural texts in order to not be deceived by translational abuse. A love for truth and scriptural integrity is what drives me. Your objection appears and correct me if I am wrong, to be the degree to which I study, as if to say the harder I search for truth, the more God will deceive me. Read the scripture again. add to that Luke 11:11. You do not appear to understand what was being said here.
I'll share with you a few reasons that I do not buy what your spirit is selling.
On the one hand you speak of "not leaving the simplicity of the Christ" and "not looking beyond what is written" while on the other you claim special understanding of verses, reshuffled by your Spirit to give new meanings that at times, may contradict the old.
On the one hand you quote "don't take away a single verse", and on the other you remove the entire known Hebrew scriptures
On the one hand you claim "do not add anything to scripture" and yet you also claim that God alters the bible through translators, including the spurious addition of 1 John 5: 7-8.
On the one hand you say the Hebrew Scriptures are moot, that you should not look into them, for they are written by thieves and robbers (one of your special understandings), and on the other hand you quote them when it suits you
On the one hand you say that your spirit only quotes the new testament, then you claim you had a revelation based on Jepthah's daughter and the sacrifices of children in worship.
I hate to say it Squeaky, but your left hand and your right appear to have no idea what the other is teaching. I left the list considerably short because I still don't think you are being purposefully deceitful. If you feel that I have misrepresented any of your teachings, please correct them, I can only work from my own flawed perception.
Quote:God put many stumbling stones in scripture. If you believe scripture first God will reveal the stumbling stones. If you don't believe what is written first. God will send you strong delusions, and then condemn you.
You're paraphrasing here to try to fit this scripture to your purpose. be careful when you do that. Thessalonians 2: 11 speaks of those in the Christian congregation who had no love nor interest in truth or righteousness. I am confused by your application of it.
I repeat my former question. How do you spot a counterfeit?
