Hi Lightbearer, no Goodnewsman was not a "prophet", that is why I chose the name "false prophet" to describe his character and deception on this forum. And because you agree with his bad theology I'm not interested in anything you have to say about God or the bible.
So according to you it was okay for him to place "isolation and destruction on our heads." God will judge who the offender is and it isn't going to be me or the gracious and loving people here on this beautiful forum, Christianchat.com, I guarantee.
The professional leadership here that chose to ban him, to include almost all on this thread, agree that this person's post earned his banishment, but of course you did not, and why, because, "Birds of a Feather Flock Together."
It is frightfully revealing that you agree with this heretic.
Peace

Look guys...
Lightbearer isn't saying he is agreeing with the man. He was speaking of words that were spoken that aren't seasoned with grace as the scriptures say.
I just recently had a dream. I know its from the Lord. I was throwing arrows similar to paper airplanes, trying to make them glide and was having great fun doing it. But, the last arrow flew and smacked a woman on the back of the head....she pitched forward. That was when I woke up. Interpretation needed?

Paul was worried that some of them may be deceived just like eve was deceived.
...But I AM AFRAID that just as Eve was DECEIVED by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be LED ASTRAY from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3
The truth is that the deceiver has been deceiving from the beginning until now.
These deceivers will REJECT and NULLIFY the Word and believe the deceiving spirits.(Isaiah 5:20-24, Mark 7:6-13)
...while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:13
...THE SPIRIT CLEARLY SAYS that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through HYPOCRITICAL LIARS, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 1 Timothy 4:1-2
How would we know who were the ones that were deceived?
We know that Eve was deceived when she believed the deceiver and disobeyed God's command.
Who are the deceivers and who were deceived?
..But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
...At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:10-14, 24
...For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
And those that were deceived believed in the deceivers mentioned above and disobeyed God's commands because they were made to believe that they would not surely die, IOW, "always saved". But scriptures warn us not to be deceived;
...Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Ephesians 5:6-7
...Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”... Genesis 3:1-19
Just think what could have happened if Eve did not believe the serpents deception but OBEYED God instead. ...NO NEED TO DISCUSS SALVATION FOR SURE because no one needs to be saved.
The truth is that Adam and Eve were created according to the image of God's righteousness and holiness and they BELIEVE and OBEY God until they got DECEIVED and disobeyed God. If they were deceived, why can't you?
Did God warn us about the deception? If He did, then why refuse to take heed of them?
So who would say now that OBEDIENCE TO GOD HAS NO BEARING IN SALVATION?

If i said anything wrong, please share
I started asking him nicely, he not only continued, he got worse, then started to try to blame shift.
He is not the first one to act that way he will not be the last.
By the way, he was the one throwing arrows. Starting by saying a sister did not do something a sister not only did, but did a few times, he mocked her and then lied about her
Its time to start calling out sin for what it is and that started long before things got out of hand,

Too long believers and false teachers alike have been coddled under this DON"T say anything offensive because it is not biblical.....
JESUS, JOHN, PAUL, ELIJAH and others RIPPED false teachers......and in the process used very pointed designations and or titles......If one is honest, decent and does not twist what we say, embellish what we say, is open to truth, does not reject verb tense and context I engage them is a decent enough manner......but when they start violating the the above I will engage them in the same manner that JESUS engaged the Pharisees and or the way John the Immerser engaged them, or the way Elijah engaged the prophets of Baal.......It is not unbiblical to use sarcasm, and or call a spade a spade.......and I have on more than ONE occasion fessed up to being stiff and or pouring heat at times.......and on more than one occasion openly apologized if I took it too far......
With the one that went bye bye.....I knew from day one, just as I knew with Jason007 that they were false and would eventually expose themselves.....
I hate no one on this site, however I cannot help but call a spade a spade.....ESPECIALLY when they are flat rejecting truth that proves the man (Judas) was never saved..........

Jesus said this verse below for those who prefer to listen to FALSE MAN MADE DOCTRINES and teach what they say while rejecting God's Word, laws, commands, instructions/teachings and warnings because they have saved themselves ETERNALLY and that WITHOUT GOD.
Anyone who disagrees with them will be silenced so as to suppress the truth.
...If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. John 7:17-18
...The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who SUPPRESS THE TRUTH by their wickedness, Romans 1:18

Hi decon, thanks!, many thanks for your words and opening up a topic that few wish to discuss, I guess you could call it, "name calling", like calling a spade a spade. By using tough language meant to expose their bad theology everyone can bring the light of the bible to discuss and reveal what God's truth say's about their false teaching.
And I cannot believe that some people even said, "but he was such a nice guy", hey! reality check -- "nice guy's" do not place on the heads of kind loving Christians a curse of destruction, nice guy? Nope!
