The unity of faith Paul preached didn't come from the suppression of opposition, it came from his capacity to expose the error of the misunderstandings spread from the beginning of time which continue today only minimally altered for the context.

Try to dig to the bottom of your beliefs. Try to actually understand WHY you believe what you do. And start by reading every part of the Bible that makes you feel bad until not a single verse in there, including the Apocrypha, makes you uncomfortable in the least.

The countenance of God induces euphoria, brings overflowing blessing, and instills certainty of salvation, or have you not read the Psalms?

The Spirit of God raises the children of Israel as courageous soldiers who know very well the God they serve, or have you not read the Prophets?

The Message of God offending broadly while lies are clung to tightly continues as a pattern of humanity started by Eve and recurrent to present, or have you not read the rest of the Old Testament?

It is not my intent to offend nor to antagonize or condemn, but how could I purport to participate in a church which forbids my discussion of faith for their sensitivities to what I have been given by God to share?

And yet, for all my desire to gather with the elect, I can't find any! No one is prepared to discuss faith because they all insist they have it already even in the presence of the condemnation which proves otherwise!

Why, why, why does the pernicious old lie that one can be three and three is actually one yet persist?

If we truly forgive everyone as God commands, we can begin to experience the purity of love which shines through the threats of a deity who would torment forever those who reject Him.

The word translated as "demon" today comes from a Greek word "diabolos" which actually means slanderer! And what could be more slanderous than calling God a liar?

It is slander to say of God, "He is not actually One, He meant He is really three."

It is slander of God to say, "He forever burns the lost, and you find out where you are going after death. Be afraid and spread the fear!"

It is slander of God to say, "The concatenated canon is closed and Christ's calling is canceled. Paul was the final Apostle!"

The Scriptures say "blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD," and yet I find so many don't even know God's real name. And even when you see the reference to it, where it is in most Bibles, and you find a correct translation, if you think He is a singular angry trio, His real name will lack meaning for you anyway. But it's in Exodus 3:14.

Oh, and one final note; no "-ism" applies to me. I do not follow any preacher of men. I uplift no extrabiblical name as a source and have no desire to promote my own. I preach no doctrine but ardent Bible study and ceaseless prayer in dedication to the God of Truth. And I only preach that which I have proven to myself by demonstrably consistent practice.

Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope we might engage in civil discussion of these deeply rooted matters so many insist are inarguable. Truth doesn't contend, it just is and lies cannot stand against it but through delusion.

Do I sound delusional to you?

Otherwise, please contend if you truly believe what you profess, because I most certainly do with all requisite data to validate every point I propound and I seek those of similar resolve.

Yes, I think you are delusional

Prepare for banned camp in 3….2….1….

Perhaps you could respond to a point or reply to something with which you disagree, if that isn't too much to ask of you.

[HappyServant]

I don't like to edit posts, but I see I lack a proper introduction in my introduction.

I apologize.

I seek a church community.

I am rejected by all so far.

I formally request the attention of whoever purports themselves to be leadership here that I might be permitted to openly speak without censorship or be quickly and mercifully banned.

I will not attack, I only defend the reputation of the Word as commissioned by the God I serve. I would even commit to occupying this thread alone, would it help.

I serve the Father of Jesus Christ, who is the Resurrected assurance of the fulfilled promises given to Abraham and recorded in the Bible as we know it today, which is the witness to the foundations of Jesus Christ in Whom I live today.

Yes, I know I edited this post

Why is this a thing? Why do some people think that they alone have the truth?

Wonderful! Thank you!

This is what God offers, the opportunity for just that; to be possessed of Him! By Him!

To belong to God is to have Him, which is to have the Truth!

Isn't that what you want?

It is my most cherished possession, being possessed of the Word.

Why do you think that you and you alone know the absolute truth?

I do not, all of His know Him.

Who are "all of His"?

God.

The nice part is that human intervention is unnecessary because truth is self-evident by nature. It thrives on exposure.

So really it comes down to observing behavior.

Which is cool because it really comes through online for being reduced to communication almost exlcusively by words alone!

So simply using words honestly makes the truth come out.

Easy breezy, right?

So if someone here disagrees with you, they're actually disagreeing with God?

[IMINXTC]

The OP texts in oblique terms. This being a Bible forum, cite the scriptures you refer to and offer your point from there.

Although that could be insinuated, that would not be a fair assessment of my claim.

I only say I am His and that I speak truth.

What others say to God has nothing to do with me.

I do propound that there are some really basic doctrinal errors in need of correction, but most people get angry at the idea they could be wrong on such a deep level (down to their very spirit, even).

But now I can say that God is one and singular all day and most people aren't even going to take the time to actually consider the words I say.

So no, a disagreement with me is a contention I welcome as an opportunity to share the God I serve.
