Having to EXCUSE or RATIONALIZE what the Holy Spirit tells us in our heart is Evil using the "precepts and doctrines of men" written in ink . . . should be sufficient proof against any doctrine. But indoctrination and fear are strong motivators to ignore it.

YouTube - ‪Overcoming Fear‬‏
That was an AWESOME video...the man speaks with profound wisdom and insight into the spiritual meaning of the scriptures. Perhaps some will take notice.

This passage should help you fight with fear

Rev. 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.â€

cowardly=fearful in KJV and probably in Greek as well.

Yet it is.

It's easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than a fundamentalist to enter the kingdom of God..............but we have to remind ourselves all things are possible with God.So although it may appear that they are not taking any notice, God is doing something in the Fundy, that Fundy is not aware of.

Sincerely pcamps a former Fundy.

But...how do you KNOW what you're hearing is from God if you don't check it against the scriptures?

By checking it against the Living Word of God . . . the "mind of Christ" and the Holy Spirit within guiding us to what God has written in our hearts.

In other words, by checking "within?" How do you know it's the Holy Spirit talking and not yourself or some other spirit? What if it contradicts the Bible, such as in the case of the original link?

The only contradictions that matter are those that violate Christ's revelation of God's love . . . since God IS love. We have 1cor 13 and the Sermon on the Mount to aid us in assessing what is or is not contradictory to love. We also have what God has written in our hearts . . . if we sincerely test things against what we know in our innermost hearts is or is not loving without trying to make excuses.
