To promote better understanding of several events recorded in the gospels.

Ya need to wear special clothing to get that across?

How does one tell? Experience, common sense, a mind that first asks about possible alternatives setting aside the impulse to find fault and criticize immediately. Giving benefit of doubt when possible.

I will try to do the above more also.

“Constantly posting falsehood that has been completely demolished

Never demolished.
Totally true.

So, where is the thread or post completely demolishing the arguments against your leader, Michael Rood? Will you ever get around to opening a thread where you can prove this? Be sure and ping me when you do. Thanks.

LOL! Posting excerpts from a link that disputes your leader is now “worshipping Satanic websites”??? Seriously, E-S, is this the best you can offer in defense?

Rood is an anti-Christian, who used to be in The Way cult - one of the leaders.

When it fell apart, he moved on to make money in the Hebrew Roots movement. It is also a cult.

So I have been learning. Like all cults, those who are trapped within them can find it very difficult to get out. They have usually been brainwashed into believing the leader is the "real deal" - a lot of times based upon some twisting of Scripture that those who are unlearned and unstable also wrest, to their own destruction. When entire families are brought in, it can make leaving that much harder because they have often been used as emotional blackmail to keep those thinking of leaving to stay in.

I think there is also a certain amount of pride that has to be swallowed especially when someone has been a vociferous apologist for a cult when he realizes he is wrong and has been fighting for a false gospel. Like Martin Luther, who had to let go of a lifetime of vocation within his church, when the Holy Spirit opens ones eyes to the truth, there is no turning back no matter how ashamed one may be for having once defended error. All we can do is continue to speak the truth in the most loving way we can and to pray for those caught in cults to come to the knowledge of the truth.

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

  - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)

It is not my job to keep supplying links, and the satanic filth that you posted is self-demolishing to anyone with a genuine desire for truth.

Of course such people do not post garbage from such contra-scriptural sites in the first place.

Michael is not anyone’s “leader” which you would know had you done even the most cursory of investigations.

Rood is a man with strong spiritual gifts, who associates with similar individuals, and together they provide Yehova’s revelations for this current age that have strongly demonstrated their calling.

That of course puts them at odds with the deceivers that refuse to relinquish the “ inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit” (Jer 16:19) that constitute the doctrine of present day “Christianity.”

So no surprise that attack like the vipers that they are. Visiting their websites is spiritually destructive.

Just read the chapters.

In them the strife among the disciples to be masters of each other is discussed.

Yeshua makes it plain that he has no “great men” in his Kehillah.

You should be searching for the truth that replaces the “ inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit” that you currently embrace, and fearing for your own soul.

You really need to stop searching for “alternatives” to the plain truth of the scriptures.

The scriptures are all Yehova gave us.

They are plain and clear, and need only to be read, not “interpreted.”

There is no man on Earth qualified to “interpret” scripture.

Yehova’s called servants do not interpret anything; they dig for and present physical evidence that supports the scriptures.

They are led to that evidence by the Holy Spirit.

Your methodology is easily discernible by merely reading your arrogant, insulting tagline.

It is neither arrogant, nor insulting to those with a clear mind.

Stop dismissing scripture!

Jeremiah was writing for our time specifically.

Heed his words completely.
