Yes. I was banned for saying, "Stop lying." Imagine that . . . being banned from a church for telling someone to "stop lying."
Pretty amazing.

Can you show me where I entered into a "tirade," a long, angry speech of criticism or accusation?
Thanks.
Thank you! And isn't it something that a person can say that I am closed-minded and its of no consequence at all, but if I simply say, "Stop lying," I am short-term banned?
And people say that I am closed-minded. Laughable, absolutely laughable. But, may the hypocrites have a wonderful and amazing day!
First, I read all that you wrote, and thank you. I appreciate your level-headed approach to this drama. Again, thank you.
I am with you, should anyone have taken the time to ask. I am a mere human being. . . what do I know (compared to our God?) I am a mere human who is doing his best to understand things in a right manner. That said, God can do absolutely whatever He desires. If God wants me to speak in Tongues, it's going to happen, and I won't argue one bit. All that I am saying is that we should use our brains and ask ourselves, "Who has the Power and Authority from God to replace legs from the men and women of the world who have lost them? Who has the ability to give eyesight to a person born blind? Who is doing this today? There isn't anyone capable of these kinds of miraculous healings, but our God is completely capable of restoring a missing leg, eyes, teeth, hair, or anything else wrong with a human body.
All that I am saying is that we need to think in more simple and rational terms . . . yet I am banned. Classic. Absolutely classic.
1 Cor 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
Could He be more clear?
Because we're talking about speaking in tongues. But if you want to talk about prophecy:
1 Cor 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
How many Christians do that?
Really? All caps to prove this point?
When food is distributed, those who received the food . . . do they not possess it?
Perplexing. My many translations all say the same things, which is that the Disciples were given Power to heal. Even the evil Spirits obeyed them and Jesus didn't argue the point.
Luke 10:19-20 NLT - "Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don't rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven."
Careful! I was banned for simply saying "stop lying." To say that someone is confused is pretty risky at this ultra-sensitive site.
Your question did not say every time. But the Holy Spirit who Inspired these written Verses made sure what we do read is greater proof than your intent.
I don't remember that post. Was that the entirety of it or was there more. If it's part of a larger context, it may be clarifying, not impunity.
No. And Paul was also clear when he wrote, just a couple verses earlier . . .
"Let love be your highest goal!"
"Love" is in the pit, isn't it? Do you Love me, your enemy? Are you feeding me, your enemy?
Nope. Instead of "food," I got banned. How's that for utterly backward?
You people think that I am struggling, so you ban me?
That is absolutely perfect, and I love how the True character of this site has shown through. Thank you!
And David was GIVEN POWER to kill a lion with his bare hands, and kill a giant with a sling shot, and Samson was GIVEN POWER tobring an entire building down with his bare hands, and Elijah was GIVEN POWER to stop rain, and call fire down from Heaven, and Moses was GIVEN POWER to split the Red Sea. Oh, and Balaam's donkey was GIVEN POWER to speak Hebrew, and the fish was GIVEN POWER to get a coin, and give it to the disciples to pay taxes with. And there was the Axe Head that was GIVEN POWER to swim.
Nothing new there. The person/animal MEANS NOTHING. God's POWER given to whom/what HE PLEASES means everything.
Nope. My entire post was "stop lying."
I'm a bad, bad man! It's a good thing I didn't call anyone a Brood of Vipers, etc.
