John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Philippians 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Members Martyr_4_FutureJoy Posted August 28, 2021 Members Share Posted August 28, 2021 "No idolatry" That's a commandment, not a suggestion. Breaking the commandment results in death . The Creator Created all things. He Says He directs everything - He is Sovereign over civilization, geology, change, and the idolators who serve other gods bow down to mankind's historians (and other carnal sources) who serve other gods falsely. The Creator not only directs everything, He does so "for the good" of those who are not idolators. For those who Love and Obey God and Are Called According to His Purpose and Plan.

I would appreciate your answering my questions. Medical idolatry (google it). You (according to all your posts for months) have been deceived by the unrighteous idolators utterly and completely, thus , by definition, you cannot recognize idolatry at all, nor obtain nor know any truth in Scripture, unless by a miracle God Grants Repentance and sets you free. He is also Well Able to heal ocd, His Way (He chooses). Freedom from idolatry and from the enemy's deception spiritually and physically is not given to most people on earth, because they blatantly, willingly or wittingly or unwillingly and unwittingly, refuse to turn to God and to trust Him.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked." Psalm 101:3-8 - "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD." 1 Timothy 6:3-5 - "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (Note: God's Word does not seem to agree with Bonhoeffer's word. So, which will we choose to follow? As for me, I will follow God's Word as the very truth, and will disregard Bonhoeffer's word as a falsehood against the truth.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if you look at the life Christ lived and how he treated those who suffer you will see that your proof texting is incorrect and that Bonhoeffer was correct. Remember the woman taken in adultery? Remember the woman at the well? Remember how he treated the hated tax collector? Remember Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, consoled the afflicted, and comforted the broken hearted. Remember his comparison of the rich man and the woman who gave the widow's mite? Remember the only people he came down hard on were the 'professional' buffed up religious people, (men), of his day who spent most of their time criticizing other?
