the only time Jesus has said anything to you is when you are reading the new testament.
cool story :idunno:
the only time Jesus has said anything to you is when you are reading the new testament.
So that's the root of your major problems
You twist and parse Jesus' words.... therefore, you are not worth listening to.

lol And yet here you are.
Purely for the amusement factor. Some people are just so dumb you have to watch!
TOL Pharisees
Mark 12:13
13 Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words.
Luke 11:53-54
53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.
Luke 12:1
1 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Matt 23:29-34
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30 "and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
31 "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32 "Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt.
33 "Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
34 "Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
Luke 20:22-26
22 "Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them, "Why do you test Me?
24 "Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?" They answered and said, "Caesar's."
25 And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26 But they could not catch Him in His words in the presence of the people. And they marveled at His answer and kept silent.
Luke 20:27-36
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
28 saying: "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
29 "Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 "And the second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 "Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died.
32 "Last of all the woman died also.
33 "Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife."
34 And Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 "But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
36 "nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Matt 26:3-4
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

Eph 4:11-14
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

xxx Everyone is in the bible. If you want to know where your at, just compare yourself and what you believe with the Word of God.
We already have lots of Pharisees and church leaders in here.
xxx You have those who hold onto the old testament.
Gal 5:1-4
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
(NKJ)
xxx You have those who still try to justify their emotions.
Gal 5:24-26
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
(NKJ)
xxx You have those who are full of guile, and trickery, they change their name often so they won't be found out.
1 Pet 2:1
1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all guile, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,
(NKJ)
xxx We have many in here arguing the bible claiming to know the truth and they are just full of bitter envy. They just want to control.
Phil 1:15-18
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will:
16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
(NKJ)
Rom 13:13-14
13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
(NKJ)
I have seen this stuff before. Where the Pharisees of today are turning churches and websites into social clubs. Where you can discuss little things about the bible as long as no one is proven wrong. They have pushed God and His Word right out of the church or website. And the Holy Spirit isn't allowed in either.
Of course this is what is suppose to happen in the last days. Where everyone gets along and no one hurts anyones feelings. Because if they do they call that disruptive. Gods Word has lost its authority.
2 Tim 4:2-4
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
(NKJ)
The Scriptures say His Words hurt they are supposed to hurt. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ; I back you up 10000000% My TRUE brother in Christ Jesus. Keep giving them the Spirit.

I totally agree, they have changed the truth into a lie, with their once saved always saved and the false trinity doctrine. Coffee mornings, various money making schemes, building up the natural temple instead of building up God's true church by the word of God, traditions, pomp and ceremony instead of the simplicity of the word, closing their doors to those in need and and putting their religion before the ways of God. Men pleasers, allowing things to go on their churches that contradict the Bible, turning the truth into a lie and going against the commandments of God even some saying that they don't have to follow them! Putting their flesh before God and not wanting to offend one another they don't speak the truth. Gods true people speak the truth regardless of who it offends even if they themselves suffer for it and God is no respecter of persons! You'll know the true church of God, they will be like Jesus, his apostles and his disciples, and the things of this world will mean nothing to them!
We are to listen to the word of God not man, if we want the truth look at Jesus for an example and we are not saved just by saying i believe and i have faith, words mean nothing, doing means everything. We are saved through true faith by the spirit, through Christ and with true faith we will do the will of the living God, deny ourselves and turn from sin, bare our cross and follow Jesus.
James 2
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works
If anyone wants to know if their church is of the truth, take a look at your church leaders and see how much they are like Jesus!
I took you off ignore to see the list. Wth? Grim Reaper

Have we got an ignore button where is it?
