Quote: Therefore, if someone else is convinced that he has come to know god, but his revelation is different from yours, then the only possibility is that he was misled by Satan.If one's revelation does not match what the Holy Spirit left us in the bible we know Satan is indeed misleading people.
Quote:You were not misled, because you cannot see how your interpretation of scripture could be any more clear or logical, and you have always been on guard against the wicked machinations of the devil. The only possible explanation is that the other guy is lying or has been lied to.Which is very appearent when they produce other 'books' that suppliment or arguement the bible.
Doctrinal issues derived from the bible are non-issues for the most part. It's when some special revelation is introduced is when we can know without a doubt the devil is at work.
Quote:It's not much different from the way that prayer can be rationalized to always work,Prayers as per the model Christ left us ALWAYS Work. Supplication is not prayer.
Quote:or the way that A/S/K can be rationalized so it always works.A/S/K works if one follows what has been written in luke 11.
Very simple if you want the treasure you must carfully follow the map.
Quote:The most effective trap is the one you set for yourself, sometimes.This is true.
