Ok, that’s fair. You offered your opinion.

You now do not partake in any Communion (bread and wine meal), right?

So you believe God called you to leave all that. I hear ya, and I naturally believe and have great confidence that this spirit is not from the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit.
 
You seem to be avoiding my question. You earlier said you accept that I am Christian as I have been Baptised. Are you retracting that?
 
No. You are Christian by your Baptism and belief that Jesus is Lord.

Are you thankful for your Baptism?
 
Okay, now will you apologise for repeatedly saying that I wasn’t Christian after I had told you I was, that Is been Baptised and asked you to stop, explaining that I found it insulting? You have admitted you were mistaken, so it should be easy. “I was mistaken, I’m sorry”: would be a recommendation.

Again, plenty of Scripture was before Jesus. The apostles were not toothless, nor Writless. Yes Jesus fulfilled Scripture, and that Scripture also confirms Him. I mean the Word became flesh.

" They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”…Luke 24:32

Did their hearts burn because Scripture was elevated, confirmed, or that Jesus and the Word are one.

Or to follow your suite, Jesus did not come to be confirmed by tradition , or by a magisterium. For sure He put all things to the test of truth, by His “fire”, as to which traditions were good and which were faulty, and what leadership and teaching was good , and which faulty. The Word should do that , even His written Word.

Alex, I have to say that it does not appear that you are Christian. I don’t want to accuse you of this, but cannot help from getting the strong impression that you do not believe in several tenants of the Christian faith.

Or this? This also seems bad.
 
Yeah, I don’t think that warrants an apology.

Denying the inerrancy of Scripture is denying the Christian faith. Among other things the Quaker religion rejects.

I’m not going to deceive you my friend. The Christian faith can be denied.

Are you no longer a Christian? It’s a very dangerous place you are going, my friend. There are spirits who deceive.

I am not going to deceive you, and attempt to appear nice, while affirming something anti-Christian.
 
Then you’re a rude person who can’t accept their own mistakes. I’m sorry to hear that.
 
How do you know it’s a mistake?

How do you know it’s not true?

Your Baptism has made an indelible mark on your soul! You only need to maintain the faith you were Baptized into.

Not really. You are making the claim yourself! It’s not just guess work on my part. You cannot simultaneously claim to be Christian while doubting Scripture to be free from error.

Not sure that disqualifies one…in fact I do not disqualify them when they would not side with sola scriptura, as Catholics do also…in fact they are a bit Catholic for they believe in other forms of revelation beside Scripture today.

What?!?! Public revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle!!

What is a “form of revelation”?

Because you specifically said I was Christian after saying I wasn’t. It’s a lot of doublethink to accept both.
 
You said I was Christian and said you didn’t recant that. So you were wrong when you earlier said I wasn’t and you gave offense with your mistake as you repeated it after being corrected. It’s pretty weak to not apologise after admitting fault.
 
It is for your benefit that I call you unChristian for the beliefs you have been deceived by.

I speak to your spirit, and denounce him.

I welcome you back to the Christian faith you were received into by Baptism. If you knew the Lord, you would not leave the Church. If you knew His call to suffer for His sake, you would remain in Him.

I encourage you with the Spirit to come to Him and also pray for my own strength and resistance to evil temptation and deception.

RC, love you and understand your discomfort with Quaker differences, as I also wish oneness in all things.

Had to do a quick read on their beliefs, and i partly understand some of their views. What I understand even more is the context of history from which they “evolved”. And on reading your staunchness (dogmatism), I partly see where they are coming from. Staunchness that Protestants can also have. Just like some reformation was born out out their historic reality, or the reality of the Catholic Church and its “culture”. As an example, perhaps SS was new, or the insertion of “alone”, but considering the role tradition had taken and some of its practices, twas a positive jolt , to a more neutral ground.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that I am not as extreme on some of their points, say on baptism, but when I read you response, that baptism is regenerative, indellible, I go right back to a Quaker direction.

LO, but yes a serious matter, and Lord help us …discern…and love…may we see the Lord’s challenging us
