You may think questions are a great start to discussions sometimes and explain a lot in themselves, did you not enter this discussion with only a question thinking it explained a lot ?
Do you believe The No True Scotsman Fallacy is true ?
In WHAT CONTEXT?
Aoi Magi,
You may think like from how I started this thread, in comparison to 1 John 4:1.
You may think there was no mistake from me really.

He established the criteria for judging the spirits (prophets) by claiming that if they don't agree with his criteria then they are false prophets. He essentially said that all of the earlier prophets (such as Moses) mentioned in the fairy tales are false prophets because they didn't mention the Jesus character.

Losty,
Do you think Jesus ever talked about Moses and agreed with him and thought he was a great man of God ?

Boru,
Do you think that every person who tells you they are a Christian is really a Christian ?
Do you think 1 John 4:1 talks about testing the spirits to see if they are really from God ?
