LOL.

So your ONLY argument is to say that the writer of Hebrews REALLY means the exact opposite of what the plain text says with not a single shred of evidence.

And your little ‘no u’ reply is about what I expected from a mental midget like you.

Rood better watch out; e-s might make him end up like John Lennon.

After all, he admitted upthread that he thinks Rood is bigger than Jesus!

What do y’all think is the reason for such obstinate loyalty? Many shekels already invested in books/videos, etc. as well as Internet defending to let go of pride and admit the Rood truth that he’s a fraud? Is it a guy thing?

We can pray for spiritual eyes to be opened to the true gospel seeing as our earnest contentions for the faith once delivered unto the saints aren’t getting through.

A spirit of delusion that is common in all cultists. I’ve seen it many times.

I don’t think it’s a guy thing, though guys tend to be much louder and in-your-face about refusing to be wrong. In my experience at least.

Depends on how Rood gets people to join his little cult. Could be the result of full on thought reform, or could just be the same reason that liberals throw their tantrums. Too much emotional investment, not enough critical thinking.

That or e-s actually IS Rood trying to get more people to buy into his insane fake-Jewish crap.

He hasn’t denied it!

Awaiting Steelfish's List of +2,000 "protestant theologians that converted to catholicism"

Hey bro, before you get that list, you will be in the presence of Jesus, and that great Protestant theologian, brother Martin Luther, who lives rent free, in the minds of some false religionists. I won’t mention any names, but you can use your imagination. 😁

A spirit of delusion that is common in all cultists. I’ve seen it many times.

Yet, as myself and many others out there know God is a rewarder of all those who diligently seek Him and He promises He WILL be found when we search for Him with all our heart. There has always been deception and Scripture warns us that the devil is out there as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. I've heard that a roaring lion in a hunt is usually the older toothless ones and they scare the prey towards the lions that actually do the kill. Satan can NEVER snatch a soul away from God if the person is seeking the truth, but he is more than happy to continue to lead them astray. Those who reject the truth over and over again have their consciences scarred to the point that they can no longer feel their need to run away.

I wholeheartedly believe that even people bound up in cults and false religions CAN be freed when they sincerely want to know the truth and let go of their pride and come to Christ like a little child - it happened to me. Religions that teach man must deserve, merit or work for their salvation have the strongest hold on prideful people - because they are convinced of their own goodness. God will not force anyone to leave their religion but the Holy Spirit DOES soften the hearts of anyone who humbly turns to Jesus Christ and they will receive His gift of eternal life through faith because of the grace of God. Those who stubbornly hold to their works to merit their own justification will one day come to realize they cannot save themselves but it may come too late. We should pray for them to have their eyes and hearts opened to the urging of the Holy Spirit so they can be saved. It is why we here participate on these threads. We never know who might be reading. It is a mission field.

I’ve had my suspicions about that, too.

Shouldn’t you be embarrassed when a Protestant seminary ends up producing Catholic converts? Have you tried hiding under a rock?

Taken from:

Evangelical Exodus: The Protestant seminary that produced dozens of Catholic converts

You wouldn’t find the thousands of their names because of the stigma that attaches to them from friends and family.

“CWR: One common obstacle to conversion is the stigma it can carry with it—people can lose their friends and family, their whole social and professional network. Was this something you encountered? Is it a common issue with converts from SES?”

You are correct BB. I have felt that way for decades. I have seen people resist the Holy Spirit, so intensely, that the veins of one guys neck stood out. His life took a notable down turn after that. We don’t see any of that anywhere around here, do we? 😁

I wholeheartedly believe that even people bound up in cults and false religions CAN be freed when they sincerely want to know the truth and let go of their pride and come to Christ like a little child - it happened to me.

You are correct again BB. It has happened to many of us. As you know, I also left a false religious cult, that will remain unnamed, but I think you can guess what it was. I was embarrassed by all the false doctrines. I lost friends. My family had a funeral for me, but, I made new friends, and out of 6 siblings, 5 have left that false cult, that will still remain unnamed. There was a stigma to leaving, but I survived. 😁👍

Michael Rood has never taught a single word that is not verbatim from the KJV.

 

 All one has to do is remove the italicised lies and confusion from the KJV and you have exactly what Michael teaches.

 

 

Well; isn't THIS special!!

Why do you hate all who preach the word?

HMMMmmm...


Matthew 4:6 King James Version (KJV)

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,

He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,

lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

His work has proven that he is a called teacher, while your posting history here proves you to be called by the adversary.

Calling something 'proven' and actually Showing something 'proven' are two different things.

You have NOT done the latter though you do the former quite expertly.

You speak of things you don’t know nor understand.
Your generalizations are typical devil-speak.

E-s claims that #fakerabbi has a following of over 5% of the population of the United States.

Not quite.

He typed 'americas'.

That includes North, Central and South.
