True teachers.

Maybe now is a good time to steer this back to the original topic. I'll admit that I didn't help in sidetracking it. This thread was intended to talk about modern teachers who are teaching in truth; that we give our suggestions.

I mention Hanegraaff --> this person is frowned upon --> example given of him "affirming the Catholic church" --> discussion all about Catholicism.

Let's get back to topic. :yes

Do you really wanna argue about this when we both say the same thing?

We are Justified by faith ALONE. Faith which MUST naturally bear good works.

We dont purposefully do good works in order to ADD justification before God.

Agreed or not? Make a thread if your still confused over this.

Dear Strangelove,
Not agreed. I am not confused over this. Those who say "justified by faith alone" defy James 2:24, and make St. Paul contradict St. James in Scripture, and this is clearly IMPOSSIBLE. Martin Luther himself tried to FOOL people and get around this by questioning whether or not James is Scripture, because it questioned his "Lutheran" doctrine of "sola fide" (by faith alone). Luther was questioning some of the dead works (traditons of me) he saw in Roman Catholicism, which came in the name of good works, such as papal indulgences, so Luther came to question all works, all good works, and though Paul taught faith alone. Not at all. It is clear: SCRIPTURE CANNOT CONTRADICT ITSELF. But if you say "by faith alone", YOU CONTRADICT JAMES 2:24. AND THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Do you believed both Romans 3:28 and James 2:24? Both must be affirmed. The "not of works" in Ephesians 2:8-9 means not of "the works of the law", that is, circumcision, Jewish dietary kosher laws, animal sacrifices, but not without all works, all Christian good works, which are prepared beforehand by God Himself,which God specifies in Eph. 2:10.

Please make a thread on how Christians are Justified by works and I'll give you my exposition of your James 2:24 proof texts again. It may be against the forums Statement of Faith but I'm sure they will allow some leniency to clarify your confusion.
 
There are just two teachers from start to finish! God SAYS DON'T.. satan called God a LIAR, and said DO!! Gen. 3:3-4.

Which do we still believe? Free DECISIONS are made from start to finish, and how can one know true teachers without finding that the others do indeed call the Godhead liars with false teachings??? See Gen. 3:22 'To know GOOD and EVIL.

The word 'cult' only in bottom/line means teaching satanic lies. And again in Gen. 4:7 we see satans first new DESIRED first fullfledged convert. And?? He was a killer! And the 'True Teacher's' Son of God Seth did not come on the seen until much later.

Subject: --A True Cult--



The TRUE ANTICHRIST CULT must have complete authority!! Notice his DOCUMENTED work. "All dogmatic decrees of [the Pope], made with or without his general council, ARE INFALLIBLE ... Once made, no pope or council can reverse them ... This IS THE CATHOLIC PRINCIPLE, that the CHURCH CANNOT ERR IN FAITH." --The Catholic World, pgs. 422-423.

OK: That is the first [TOP] priority. 's'atan has himself in charge of a number one human man! See Gen. 4:7's start & Rev. 3:9's ending. This is & ever was satin's antichrist organized denomination. (and who took over when Christ left Israel of old? See Matt. 23:38 when they BECAME DESOLATE OF CHRIST)

Number two: A CULT ANTICHRIST must have a 'SECOND' book held in high esteem that is opposite to the Bible! In this time frame, It IS THE 'CATECHISM! It even openly changes the Commandments of God! [ANTICHRIST!] See 1 Jn. 2:4 & Isa. 8:20.

Number three: Surely it MUST HAVE A LARGE BROADWAY WORLDWIDE CULT MEMBERSHIP! See Matt. 7 & Rev. 17:5!! To have DAUGHTERS this denomination was here FIRST, huh?
Again, the TRUE LEADER of even the Pope, was seen working before the flood in Cain! (Gen. 4:7) Notice whose his 'DESIRE' now was his!

A denomination has always been found by satan to 'FORM-or have them become a FOLD' that would do this [FIRST CULT LEADER'S WORK]. See Rev. 2:5. well, who would now take over when even old Israel apostised!? Rev. 3:9. And Israel became a killer of Christ and needed Caesar power to do so... and USA is just about there going from lamb like to dragon like's 666 forced church & state. And their Supreme court are 'now' [FREEDOM LOVING TEACHERS]??
We will very soon now see!

And Cain killed his brother. Cain was still a professor of worship! He brought an ANTICHRIST 'FRUITE' SACRIFICE! As does Rome in having Sun. for God's eternal Sabbath Day Covenant! (see Heb. 13:20) Rome, also is and was a MURDERER (from the beginning) as is DOCUMENTED in Fox Book of Martyr's. It states that it MIGHT EVEN BE A LOW ESTIMATE, OF UPWARD TO AN HUNDRED MILLION KILLED BY ROME, OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRS!! [[TRUE TEACHERS!!]]

Take note: This is satan's church! Look around you today! These LEADERS ARE [OPEN PARTAKERS] of ALL OF THIS DOCUMENTED DAILY EVIL! See Rev. 18:4! And in a quote that was posted some days ago about Pope John Paul 11 suggesting that voodoo believers would not betray their traditional faith by 'converting to Christianity'. ('From the Los Angeles Times' 2/5/93) :screwloose:screwloose

CHRISTIANS?? Hardly can a person be [A HONEST 'TRUE TEACHING' CHRISTIAN ] calling an CULT ANTICHRIST denomination [CHRISTIAN!] And the Lord's CALL is for the [IGNORANT BABES IN CHRIST THAT HE STILL 'HAS THERE, TO LEAVE]. Again SEE John 5:16's Eccl. 3:15'a required repeat!!

And NOW: We see satan still doing his evil work in suggesting that there is another antichrist?? Wow! what is new, God say's NOTHING!! See Eccl. 1:9-10 & Eccl. 3:15. Yet, these ones teaching this ARE THE CULT LEADERS 'little' daughter's that are DOING the work of mommy. What is next?? Soon ex/Protestants will do the dirty work of having Caesar do what they can not do OPENLY until religous Freedom is reversed. That of again Killing their brothers! And the USA Supreme court is all set up only waiting.on romes daughter's.

And there is no need to get excited perhaps, for that is just the way that it is Prophesied!

---Elijah

No it's a movie. And has no bearing on my faith.



Your rambling man. Venture to do what?

I challenge you to a one on one debate regarding the Eastern Orthodox lithurgy.

Either accept or decline. Or you can continue evading.

Dear Strangelove, I am not interested in anything that speaks against Eastern Orthodoxy. John 15:26 clearly proves the truthfulness of Orthodox Christians to me. That and so many other verses where the Protestants defy Orthodoxy such as James 2:24 and John 17:15 and Matthew 1:25 and Ezekiel 44:1-2 and Romans 3:38. What I have been saying is the truth. Perhaps you will be aware that PERHAPS most Protestants say "FILOQUE" and the Son. Those who agree with Eastern Orthodoxy in regard to John 15:26 receive an ETERNAL MEMORY and are blessed of GOD. The Eastern Orthodox liturgy defends itself. It begins with an acknowledgement of God in His Sovereignty, "Blessed is the kingdom of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and forever and unto the ages of ages." Attend a Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Church before you reject Orthodoxy without any reason from Scripture. Orthodoxy teaches Scripture, and Scripture teaches Orthodoxy. To say that it DOESN'T is to MISUNDERSTAND AND TO TWIST SCRIPTURE (2 Peter 3:16, cf. KJV, ESV, NIV, NASB, NKJV, ONT, etc.).
Anyone who has a heart for God can experience the beauty of worship "in Spirit and in truth". You will not find anything so beautiful ON EARTH as attending even once an Eastern Orthodox liturgy. It brings people to Christ and brings happy feelings into the heart. It reveres and sings the Scriptures and chants all the prayers, and the soul sings unto God, and it is all very blessed. I need to get back to Church which is all I am required to do. I only mention Orthodoxy in words because I desire people also to have the same EXPERIENCES I have had the few times I have actually been at a Russian Orthodox Church liturgy. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. GOD IS GREAT AND GOD IS GOOD AND THANK HIM FOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH; AMEN. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington
PS I am going to take a break from posting for a while, so I will not for a while be responding to your concerns, nor concerned for your defense of Protestantism or Catholicism, or concerned if you choose to say things against Eastern Orthodoxy. I need to actually become Orthodox Christian because it can't remain just words. I need Orthodox sacraments, and I need to do more things and if I need words, I will continue to write the book I am working on regarding the FILIOQUE from the writings of St. Photios the Great. May GOD BLESS YOU all as you search for the Truth the Holy Spirit imparts unto the penitent in Christ (John 16:13). Amen.

It all depends on whether the group fulfills the general defintions of a cult.

Sports? Well, actually...I've definatley seen fans of certain football teams developing into cults. With veneration for their team and having authoritarian leaders and certain initiation rituals involved.

A 'cult' doesn't have to be the Hollwood version of the term.

i wish to discuss this in another thread.

IF THIS CONTINUES HERE. THIS THREAD IS DONE.

SL, I'm just using this as an example, because others have done it too. I wish members would stop playing games with members' names. Whether intended or not, it comes across as condescending and snide. Just sayin'...
