Short passages God has shared with my fellowship:
Perfection is the goal; failure is the means.
Simpletons think God is simple.
Shoulds are sh*t.
Fighting deception is deception.
Truth without action is pointless. Action without truth is evil.
God doesn't condemn you for falling. He condemns you for leaving the path.
Authority should be little used, but it is there if needed.

Qualifies as an empath.
A real empath is someone who can literally feel your emotions - you know possessing actual empathy, not just someone who can read your body and make an educated guess about what you are feeling. The latter is the way a spiritually blind and ignorant world tries to explain away the supernatural.
Rather just like from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45), physical signs are an overflow of the spirit, but they are a much weaker and insufficient way to determine what is really going on than actually reading the spirit of the person. Physical signs can be helpful evidence to point out to non-empaths and to confirm one's read, and the flow from heart to body can probably be felt, making identification of the physical evidence easier, but a real empath doesn't start with them. The physical signs can also be suppressed or obscured where the spirit cannot
An example of a real empath would be a woman at my church who has had occasion to have to leave our group meetings because she was picking up the negative emotions of those around her so strongly even though no one was even particularly focused on how they were feeling. That is a real empath. There are elements and similarities of this in my spiritual gifts, though my purpose is a little different than this term implies.
Really though, empath is a word of the world and not how God has ever defined somebody's purpose in my awareness. I would say some of the types of beings (purposes, callings) God creates have this trait. For example, it might be helpful for an evangelist to truly understand what their audience is feeling.

If I went through the whole list, picked every item apart and explained why it was both illogical and contradictory to what the Bible says... You would just keep arguing about it. You always do. There's no profit in doing that.
I will instead just make the blanket statement that almost all the items on that list are both illogical and contradict with the Bible says.
Proceed with your arguments.
