I don't even know where to start to separate the wheat from the chaff that I've been accused of believing. So I won't. If you're curious there are links to my church on my profle page, both the local congregation and the UCG main site.
Jesus had such harsh words for false teachers. There is no reason for us to do anything but follow His lead on that. Such false teachers as those who deny that Jesus is God Himself are properly condemned as vipers, sons of satan and, simply, heretics.
I think the main reason he was condemning them was for their hypocrisy. They pretended to be the gatekeepers of religion in their day but inwardly were rotten and corrupt...the ravenous wolves of his time. AND he was Jesus, the Lord, who could righteously judge a man's heart.

***And He properly condemned false teachers as ‘sons of the devil’. There’s plenty of reason to follow His lead on that, rather than to be soft & fluffy with outright heretics. Those who deny that Jesus is God Himself are rightfully condemned by Jesus and if you want to be soft & fluffy while they devour baby christian souls, it’s something that you yourself will be held accountable for.
Matthew 18:6
New International Version (NIV)
Causing to Stumble
6 If anyone causes one of these little onesthose who believe in meto stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Kevmo: Then all of this anti-trinitarian Universal Church of God stuff is baloney?

***I’m in the process of separating the wheat from the chaff and it would appear you are spreading anti-trinitarian heretical beliefs on Free Republic. You even acknowledge that Jesus is God Himself, so it puts you in a relatively rarified atmosphere of especially tricky heretics.
