Read in Acts Chapter 5 where Gamiliel gives sage, sound advice: (I am paraphrasing) If these Christians are not from God, they will be scattered and amount to nothing; but if they are from God, they will prosper.

You will know them by their fruit.

The super religious people of the Bible were the very ones who crucified Jesus, who persecuted the Disciples, stoned Paul, imprisoned Peter . . . .

Be careful who you condemn to hell - that’s above your pay grade.

Where did I say someone is headed for hell? Don’t misrepresent my words, please.

If by super-religious, you mean the Pharisees, that’s interesting, because the Gamaliel you quote was a Pharisee, so I don’t see why you would look to him as an authority on anything. If Gamaliel was correct, why has Islam prospered? Or Scientology? Or any false doctrine? I have read, though, that Mormons tend to use Gamaliel’s words as an argument, so maybe you’ve been taught to do so, I don’t know.

I’ll say it again. Your religion teaches that Jesus and Satan are brothers, that God was once a man, that you can have your own planet, and that God had sex with Mary. That is not Christianity; in fact, it contradicts all Christian doctrine.

Good quote about the FALSE PROPHET who foundered your chosen religious organization!


Matthew 7:15-20

15“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.20“So then, you will know them by their fruits.
