It would appear that you are continually sowing discord among brethren. God says that He finds that “detestable”.

I think you are confused about sowing discord, which has to do with needless personal offenses, as opposed to pointing out errors in doctrine or fact or life issues.

Jesus, Peter, Paul, et al were often faced with the need to correct others for their defective doctrine/sin issues. Jesus was not sowing discord when He called the Pharisees a “brood of vipers”. Neither was Paul sowing discord when he opposed Peter publically on the Galatians 2 issue.

This forum is fertile ground for all sorts of defective theologies and questionable statements of fact. Some of them need to be opposed strenuously. I try not to make it personal per the instructions of the religion moderator.

You came in to this thread with a questionable observation about Chuck Smith’s past statements vis-à-vis the rapture. That was pointed out to you. Drop it if you wish.

Yet I see over in this thread you have some rather unflattering things to say about the ministry of Joel Osteen. Was that a case of sowing discord?

love builds up knowledge puffs up.

What makes you think I don’t love you?

I am confused?
not hardly.

Enjoy your self-appointed position of prophet.
Then reflect upon the fruit of your words.

You compare your actions to that of Jesus and Paul?
They actally won souls.
You strive to merely win arguments.
Ask yourself when the last time a life was healed by your words, or when the last time someone looked at your life, your words and said; “Gee, if being a Christian is to be like you, how do I become one?”. How many souls were won?

But hey...at least you feel you win arguments, right?

You love me?
please.
Don’t compound sin with lies.

Have a pleasant and thoughtfully reflective day.

and FWIW, I take no issue with you having a differnet view.

I do take issue with your boastfully arrogant manner in doing so.

your words do not biuld up, they tear down.

that is the issue.
