Do you really not see that you equate them to God? Even Jesus did not equate himself to God!
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4
Pleaaaseeee add commentary. What you interpret from scripture can be completely different. It does Not speak for itself.
Luke 10:16-- He that listens to you( anointed teachers) listens to me.
@kjw47 Another thing that is being taught by the governing body which is the same as saying, we are God, is that they alone can keep you safe from Satan. Do they not teach that to be safe a person must join them?
Its not hard to understand--If one rejects the teachers who Jesus appointed, they reject Jesus and God as well or vica versa-- is what it is saying.
I add this because I dont know your point:
Think about it this way: 1% people (moses, christ, abraham, etc) know god; the father. 99% you, me, and this present humanity only 2500 years later, it seems, all of the sudden does not.
How can you, as a full body of christ not you as an individual, can become part of that few?
I think you mentioned 99% of people arent real christians so they are not following god. 1% follows god.
Between ALL christians (real ones. God knows who no one else), why 1%?
Many many christians make the exact same claim (and some same wording) but you guys exclude yourselves from the bigger number of people who arent "real" christians. You all quote scripture as if it talks for itself. It does not.
That is a bold claim. Why do you feel you are part of that 1%?
Are you the only one that knows the real christ?
That is a bold claim as if you speak for god.
Knowing your religion, your so called anointed 'slave', that "new light" can come at any moment, how do you be certain you're not living in error today?
Fact of Israelite God worship= Taught, served and worshipped, a single being God named YHWH(Jehovah), from Moses on up until this very day. The God taught and served and worshipped by Matthew, Mark, Peter, John, Paul and even Jesus his first 30 years attending the synagogues and temples.
They never refuted that God, They taught that God
John 20:17, Rev 3:12( Jesus
2Cor 1:3, 1Cor 15:24-28, 1Cor 8:6( Paul)
1Peter 1:3( Peter)
Rev 1:6( John)
An error at John 1:1 in translating causes the confusion.
How in the world do you get, "anointed teachers" out of that verse kjw47? No one had the Holy Spirit yet, no one got the Holy Spirit until AFTER Jesus died and rose again. Think about it for a moment!
How are you not a part of 99% of fake christians?
You are not the only one who makes this type of claim. What do you know that what you call fake christians do not?
Do you know god well enough to tell another who is a real christian?
How do these verses relate to my other post?
Please, look at the beginning of that chapter. He is talking to the 70.Luke 10:16-- He that listens to you( anointed teachers) listens to me. And he that disregards you disregards me moreover, he that disregards me disregards him that sent me forth)= Father( John 5:30)
2 thess is about the false religions on earth. Not the one Jesus is with( 1Corinthians 1:10)
Please, look at the beginning of that chapter. He is talking to the 70.
Luke 10: 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.....3Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves......9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'.....16"Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."Luke 10:16

OK. If Luke 10:16 applies to the governing body why doesn't Luke 10:9 apply to them as well?
You are changing the subject. Do you know you are?It doesn't say things like that would occur in these last days. It says( Daniel 12:4)--Truth would become abundant. It has.
34,000 religions claiming to be Christian--one is( 1Corinthians 1:10)
A house divided will not stand( Mark 23:24-26)
The teachings of Jesus prove who is who. Do you know them?
He doesn't do that.Why wont you answer my questions?
