I've wondered...why do people feel such a need to discredit the inspired words of God?
Because people listen to the wrong spirits and they believe the lies of the false prophets:

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

How do you test the Spirit. Is it through a book?
What makes you believe that which is false?

I gave some examples on the other thread where this was being discussed. The next verse to the one I quoted says this: "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: "Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God".

Does your spirit tell you to lie? Its the wrong spirit
Does your spirit tell you Christ did not came in the flesh? Its the wrong spirit
Does your spirit tell you Christ is not son of God? Its the wrong spirit
Does your spirit contradict what Jesus taught? Its the wrong spirit
Does your spirit approve/promote sin? Its the wrong spirit.

What and how you define something, may not be the truth.

Like Paulie was told? All he wrote contradicted Christ and the evangelicals made him a GOD..

JESUS TAUGHT LOVE, MERCY, JUSTICE and COMPASSION, if you ain't doing this, you ain't walking with the REAL Jesus.

No one made Paul God, and since both Jesus and Paul taught love, mercy and compassion, your earlier statement could not possibly be true.

Well, since Paulie writes so many things Jesus NEVER spoke, HE MUST BE GOD for his word to supersede those of Christ.


Then why is it 90% of evangelicals REFUSE to practice LOVE, MERCY, JUSTICE and COMPASSION??

I see you left out JUSTICE in the quote, probably intentional huh?

Your words: "All he wrote contradicted Christ and the evangelicals made him a GOD".

Whoever told you that lied to you.

Your comment about 90% of Christians is also not truthful. Well, I'll give you a change to prove it if you like. The floor is yours.

Read a bit closer, Finn. He didn't say 90% of Christians---he said 90% of EVANGELICALS. It's difficult for a committed evangelical to be a real Christian--at least in terms of love and mercy---they are too busy deifying Paul's writing.
