I agree with message 6.
There are many examples of Jesus calling people names and the names He called them were the TRUTH. Jesus called a spade a spade and made no apologies for it.
in #9 Bryan says
I believe most people in this group, love Jesus and his teachings. Though the way we believe in him may vary, we are still followers of Christ. Remember, a kingdom divided against itself will fall.
Skyangel says: Most professing christians like to think they love Jesus but do they really? How many are kidding themselves and merely giving God lip service exactly like the Pharisees did? The whole church on earth is divided against itself if you havent noticed. Look at all the divisions and different doctrines over which people split up and fight about like stupid children and they all claim to have the TRUTH while NONE of them really have the TRUTH at all because they all hate each other while they pretend to love one another.
Message #11
Bryan says: That may be the only one you find, and we all know the reason he said it. God was in that flesh, and he knew Peter's thoughts and motives.
Skyangel says: Who is in your flesh? (< That is not just directed at Bryan but at all readers of this message)
Dont you think that anyone who claims to have the Holy Ghost and the MIND of Christ in them would know the same as what JESUS KNOWS ?
Anyone who does not KNOW what JESUS KNOWS does not have the Holy Ghost or the MIND of Christ but are still operating in their own carnal minded flesh and deceiving themselves about being filled with the Spirit of God at all.
IF the Father tells us to call a hypocrite a hypocrite then we are to say what the Father tells us to say and not hold back because we might offend the delicate egos of those hypocrites. How is any self deceived hypocrite going to realise their own hypocrisy if no one ever points it out to them?
We are to speak the TRUTH in TOUGH LOVE and that TRUTH might hurt a few egos but TRUTH sets people FREE IF they repent of their sins which are pointed out to them.
People who truly LOVE the LORD never get offended by anything including others who call them names and they appreciate and welcome the people who can show them their errors and put them right.
