"Sound Doctrine" Are Not Dirty Words!
Because wolves have twisted the meaning to ”big stick to whack sheep with.”
Mod
My response: Is that how you define quoting and believing the Bible ?
Is the wolf the one trusting the Word of God or the one offering only their opinions?
No. But experience and pain change the way words are perceived. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying it's reality.
Mod
My response: It is not reality with sound doctrine . I may be reality with false doctrine .
That is why one must trust what the Bible does say … not what they want it to say.
Thus the importance of quoting and believing the Word of God.
So. You are in favor of beating already beaten sheep. Good to know. Doesn't sound like a gospel of mercy and righteousness to me...
Mod
My response: this is a LIE ! Quote me ever saying any such thing.
Here is what I DID SAY …
That is why one must trust what the Bible does say … not what they want it to say.
Thus the importance of quoting and believing the Word of God.
(Note: Isn't it odd that stating one must trust the Bible... gets changed into "beating sheep"?)
Now if only we could agree on how sound doctrine is established and interpreted.
Mod
I agree with this...
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

How do you establish doctrine? The Bible plus something?
Well, obviously Robert is the authority on that... Kind of like a post Catholic pope...
Mod
My response: Thanks for you OPINION . Is this the same way you establish doctrine... without Scripture ?
Nope. Scripture tradition reason and experience.
You quote more than enough for the both of us lol
Mod
Oh boo. The big bully Woberts fewwings are hurt.
Mod
NOPE! Just stating facts... you NEVER quote Scripture... and you REJECT it when it is quoted...
Yea there's this thing called context. You never account for it... Almost always you quote out of context. Your beliefs are stitched together from random versus. You've got no roots in the faith delivered...
There's no point in throwing pearls to swine such as yourself. I won't sully the word of God on a pharisee like you...
Seriously Robert, so far none of us reject scripture: just your interpretation of it. You need to stop saying that.
Mod
There is NO context when you NEVER quote the Bible... just your pretext
Mod
LOL!!!!! ROFL!!!!! That is because you don't value the Word of God...
So you throw your opinions instead.
Mod
You need to stop saying that."
My response: YOU REJECT the Bible. I quote it with NO INTERPRETATION... and you REJECT the direct quote.
Nope. You do not excuse the right use of the Word of God. I won't engage you because it's useless. You must repent from your hardheartedness and stubbornness. I plead with you, resist not the Spirit of God.
Mod
My response: The "uselessness" of interacting with you is that you rely on you opinions and think they are the Word of God.
I don't resist the Spirit... the Holy Spirit wrote...
Acts 17:11 - "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily , whether those things were so."
I read and study the scriptures daily my friend. Your presumption is that if it's not quoted its not formative. That's a classic mistake a mistake made by blunt biblicists. The most despicable form of Bible scholarship.
Robert wrote: "YOU REJECT the Bible. I quote it with NO INTERPRETATION... and you REJECT the direct quote. "No, Robert, that is simply your unsubstantiated claim and you bearing false witness.
Rod does not reject scripture, nor do I. No one has rejected "the direct quote", which is why you can't demonstrate anyone actually has, including Rod who you have accused of doing so.
Steve wrote: "Yea there's this thing called context. You never account for it... Almost always you quote out of context. Your beliefs are stitched together from random versus. "That is so true. Robert loves to rip verses and passages out of context.
Let's add some context:
"Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you."
Titus 1-2
Again. I do not reject scripture. I reject the improper use and application of it....
Mod
My response: This coming from someone who compares those who disagree with her to Hitler ! Did you ever apologize to Joel for comparing him to Hitler?
Ah there's that old chestnut. I guess Robert needed to drag that horse carcass into this thread too... Sigh
Mod
My response: You NEVER quote the Bible and when direct quotes with NO commentary are made... you MOCK the direct quotes...
You do REJECT the Word of God.
Mod
My response: Yes, lets add some context to how you operate...
__________________
For those unfamiliar... Alexandra's methods... as soon as someone disagrees with and stands up to her, she...
* Compare people to Hitler (2nd paragraph)
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* Apologize for derailing a thread (Message # 179 and she continues at least until Message # 322 )
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* Continue to keep the thread off track
* Lie about people
* Keep lying
* Get caught and exposed lying
* Justify her lies (2nd to last paragraph)
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* Keep lying some more
* Use vulgarities in her posts (last paragraph)
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
All of these are true and can be readily seen in this thread. (For the Hitler comment, check out message #11 at the beginning of this thread. It did not take long for her to go on the attack.)
Yup. Horse brains and blood everywhere already. Did not take long... Robert is nothing if not predictable.
Robert is an aggrieved senior whose mental faculties and social graces are swiftly vacating the premises...
Mod
You have posted 15 times in a thread about sound doctrine …
ZERO have quoted or referenced the Bible.
ZERO have even been about the topic.
ZERO have offered any spiritual insights.
PROVEN!
Steve wrote: "Robert is an aggrieved senior whose mental faculties and social graces are swiftly vacating the premises..."I don't think they ever made an appearance ;)
Yea I won't waste scripture on a corrupt wolf...
Mod
Thanks for your ungodly and judgmental OPINION again... completely lacking Biblical support.
But not surprising.
Mod
FACTS are FACTS. She hides behind her arrogant self-righteousness... casting judgments and using vulgarities...
...and then I am blasted for quoting the Bible!
Robert wrote: "Thanks for your ungodly and judgmental OPINION again... "The irony there, which I'm sure is quite lost on you, is that that statement is merely your opinion ;)
Scripture is so precious I reserve that for the community practice my faith in. The community that knows me more than Robert ever will... The truth is, one can make the scriptures say whatever one wishes to believe.... Only the Spirit of God can guide us to truth...
Mod
My response: Wow! Jesus QUOTED the Bible in self-defense to satan… and you think it is a waste!!!!!
Matthew 4:4 - "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
For the others in the thread, I think jeaus spoke directly to Robert with these wordsYou study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me John 5:39
Steve wrote: "The truth is, one can make the scriptures say whatever one wishes to believe.... "It's a quite common tactic among cult members, and others who believe false things, to rip verses and passages out of context to give the appearance Scripture says something it does not, or to try to claim a verse or passage is applicable where it is not. And yes, to the unwary and uninformed it can be made to seem the Bible is saying pretty much anything, when people are willing to misuse it in such a way.
If Robert were truly the Biblical literate Christ follower he claims to be, he'd refrain from such shenanigans.
Mod

My response: LOL!!!! Context!!!!
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me John 5:39
Jesus was NOT bad-mouthing the STUDY of the Scriptures... He condemned the FACT that they missed the Messiah that those passages pointed to!
He condemned their re-writing and re-defining what the Bible actually said.
Mod
My response: LOL! Coming from someone with such DISDAIN for the Bible that you almost NEVER quote it.
You prefer to rail against those who disagree with you and stand up to you with comparisons to Hitler and repeated LIES (even after getting caught lying)
Mod
My response: Oh, you mean I would not compare people with Hitler (like you do)… I would not lie about people (like you do)… I would not use vulgarities (like you do).
I am glad I am not like you.
When God speaks so positively about sound doctrine, why do some of His people cringe at the thought?
Titus 2:1 - "But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine."
