Hi Debs, Quoting the Bible is essential but it also can be used as a smokescreen to proclaim false doctrines, as you already know. :like:

Tom

You said “Mildred has very subtly and, may I say, cunningly dodged the real issue by quoting just about the entire New Testament without really understanding…”

Yes that’s exactly it what I thought too…with a few of these :dazed: in between my thoughts. I was just so flummoxed at her ‘cunning abilities’ that I truly had no idea how to explain what she had done, but you explain it in such an eloquent sentence. Congrats Tom :like: .

Dear Al

Right you are… :thumbsup:

And you wont believe it but LT’s back again…under another name: See comment here. Remember when I said I smelt the bad odour of Calvinism in the air…how right I was.

Anyone else (besides LT and any other name he can come up with) out there that can answer Tom’s questions?

Frank

I have a few questions for you. Do you think it is necessary for the Body of Christ (true Church) to be purified, and if so, what must she be purified of?

Were the persecutions in the past the means God used to purify the church? What do you think the real reason is why the church has been persecuted since her inception?

The word “purified” appears three times and the word “purify” only four times in the New Testament and never once in connection with persecution. Why is that?

As soon as you’ve answered these questions, I shall tell you why Deborah said the things you don’t like.

Who or what is ‘LT’ anyway? It’s just a fake name. LT could be 1 of a few hundred different people or terminologies even, from ‘LT’ as in Lieutenant, or ‘.lt’ for Luthuania, or ‘LT’ used on Facebook chats for “Love(d) This/That”. So many LT’s and variants thereof out there. Like LT77 could be LT77 Ashcroft Transmissions, or a Land Rover LT77, So who cares? I don’t. Moved on. 🙂

“Tom Lessing (minus the B) and Deborah Du Rand I sure hope you aren’t mixed up with Pedophilia (presumably)?”

Apart from the fact that he is disobeying God and bearing false witness (Proverbs 12:17; 14:5; 19:5, 9; 21:28; 25:18; Matthew 15:19), he allowed his daughter to be baptized in a church that is swamped with pedophiles. Here’s the proof, and by the way it is verified by true and not false witnesses like Mr. LT.

My advice to Scott Pruitt is to withdraw himself from LT (2 Thessalonians 3:6). However, I doubt whether he would heed Paul’s caution because they are brothers in arms in their hatred of the Pre-trib Rapture. Scott Pruitt is one who likes to associate with false witnesses and then to put the blame on the victims of their foul false witnessing. He repeatedly accuses me of ad hominem attacks and slandering whilst he merrily associates with his partner in arms against the Pre-trib Rapture – the honorable Jacob Prasch, who to this date has not apologized to Deborah for his vicious satanic ad hominem attacks on her that lasted 2 solid years.

If I or Deborah accused either LT, Scott Pruitt or Jacob Prasch of pedophilia (presumably, because we would never be so desperately deranged to do such a thing), they would immediately file a lawsuit against us. It’s despicable, to say the least.

LT has the nerve to say on Scott Pruitt’s site, “On Toms page, he has a callous tone and snarky attitude” and yet he has the nerve to accuse Deborah and me of pedophilia (presumably). This is so typical of those who hate the Pre-trib rapture. They love to remove the mote out of your eye whilst the beam is in their own.
