so Christianity is nothing but a tool for the devil?
if that is true, then why does he attack Christians with such hatred and lies about them so much?
do you actually stop to think about the import of what you have said here?
you have basically stated that Christians are anti-Christs in disguise and the Bible is no longer the realm of the Holy Spirit meaning the Holy Spirit has abdicated His role as teacher among others things
do you think about YOURSELF that way too?
do you believe you recognize the truth? meaning, according to your post, that you believe yourself to be immune to deception
quite the post there deade
The Bible is full of examples of people who believed they were serving the living God, but were not. One way for us to know is by what they preach. Jesus said the Mainstream Preachers of His time "Transgressed the Commandments of God by their own traditions". We also have "many" examples of men, who claim to be God's Children, but became angry when God's servants would expose their doctrines as coming from man and not from God.
We have folks on this forum who believe things that are just not true, like they believe and preach that the Pharisees were trying to earn salvation by following God's Instructions. This is a false preaching according to the Christ, the Word which became Flesh, yet there are folks who will argue and refuse to concede this teaching even when the scriptures are shown to them and the truth is clearly seen. They will ultimately stop listening, refuse to discuss and many even place those who expose their doctrines on ignore. The Mainstream God of Abraham preachers of Christ's time did the same thing, silencing and ridiculing, and even killing those who would point out false doctrines they taught.
It isn't Deade's fault that folks have been deceived into believing a lie. And as is the custom of religious man, instead of discussing the scriptures and changing our minds to mirror the mind of the Christ, they attack the messenger, and try to place their deception on the heads of those who would love them enough to warn them.
It's an age old story repeated over and over since Abel was killed by his "Christian" brother because abel honored God with all his might, and Cain did not.
No one is immune to deception, that is why the Christ has His Words which will last forever and they have been the same, pretty much, since man first received them.
This is why Jesus inspired it to be written;
3 And hereby we do know that we know him,
if we keep his commandments.
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
unto a perfect man, (Like Jesus) unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head,
even Christ:
This was a hard pill for the mainstream preachers and those who followed them to swallow in Christ's time, and before. I think it's a mistake to believe we wouldn't be burdened by the same Pride and deception they had to overcome, but refused.
I think Deade is simply recognizing and willing to talk about the Elephant in the room, which are the doctrines and man made traditions of today Mainstream God of Abraham preaching people.
I would be much simpler to just follow the crown even when it is apparent the crowd teaches things that are not so.
But what good would that do for the brethren.
