How long will deny the doctrine of Scripture and replace it with your own false doctrine?
Scripture denied by you Pharisees and Saducees:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32.
As far as the Kingdom of God goes, have you not read:
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt 6:26-33.
That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. Luke 22:30.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18.
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people Matt 9:35; Luke 9:11.
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near to you. Luke 10:9.
The point of Romans 14 is to not grieve your weaker brother who is offended by what he considers unclean meat. The point of the Kingdom of God is in its righteous, peace, and joy. But meat and drink are certainly not excluded from the Kingdom of God as Scripture attests.
buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich Revelation 3:18.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer them that are entering to go in. Matthew 23:13.
Meant to include you on post #216.
So anyone who disagrees with YOU is a pharisee.
Yeah, right.
Are you now proud of your more spiritual than thou-ness?
Gee...anyone can patchwork quilt snippets of out-of-context verses and pretty much make them say almost anything they want. Good thing you gave references so others can look up the passages for themselves. Nobody’s denying anything - just the false doctrine cooked up by the unstable and unlearned they wrest from God’s word.
