See? Is the Word of Christ now a question of Facebook walls?

You write a
doctrinal post and say "leave me a comment", and when a brother leaves you a
comment with the words of Jesus that plainly contradict your teaching, you delete
it without addressing the very words of the One you call Lord, with all the
revelation and light that you claim to have.

Rightly did the Apostle Paul, the Apostle of grace himself, prophesy this: "For the
time is coming when they will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears
they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will
turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths." (2 Tim 4:3-4).

At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall all truth be established. Where are
the witnesses in Scripture that say that the righteous by faith should not confess
their sins? On the contrary, we have many apostolic and prophetic witnesses that
establish that believers are to confess their sins IF it happens that they sin:

1- Jesus our Savior and Advocate taught us to confess our sins and urged the
Churches that had fallen into sin to wake up and repent, otherwise He would come to
them like a thief in the night against them and would remove their candlestick out
of its place, giving to each according to his works (Mat 6:12; Rev 2:5, 2:16, 2:21-
23, 3:2-4, 3:17-19).

2- James taught us by the Spirit to openly/publicly confess our sins to one another
and to pray for one another that we might be healed (James 5:14-16).

3- John taught us by the Spirit to confess our sins honestly to God and to receive
the cleansing of the blood, clarifying that he who sins has neither seen nor known
God and does not have the love of God perfected in him (1 John 1:9, 3:6, 2:4-5).

4- Paul taught us to "cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit,
bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God" and rejoiced that the
Corinthians were "grieved into repenting" (2 Cor 7:1,9).

5- Much more, when Paul preached and manifested the power of God in Ephesus, the
Scripture that cannot be broken, the Word of Christ in the New Testament after the
cross, does clearly say that: "Also MANY of those who were NOW BELIVERS CAME,
CONFESSING AND DIVULGING THEIR PRACTICES" (Acts 19:18). They were now believers,
not Gnostics, and after becoming believers, that is, after having confessed Jesus
as Lord and having received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness,
they came, CONFESSING PUBLICLY (disclosing, divulging) their sinful practices.

6- The Psalms that the Word of Grace in the NT commands us to meditate and speak to
one another in connection to being filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18-19) do
teach us that the righteous by faith in whose spirit there is no guile (no hardened
conscience) does acknowledge and confess his sins (Psalm 32:5-6, 38:18, 41:4, 51:1-
10, 25:11, etc.)

7- Proverbs, the word of wisdom, does teach us to confess our sins: "Whoever
conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes
them will obtain mercy." (Pro 28:13).

8- Job, the earliest book of the Bible, does teach us to confess our sins publicly,
not fearing the great multitude and the families (Job 31:33-34); the Spirit also
reveals here the connection between sin and sickness in James-like words (Job
33:27-28, 36:8-10).

9- Jesus in the parable of the prodigal son taught repentance and the heart
attitude of the son who said, "I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to
him, �Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you." and who did just that
(Luke 15:18,21).

10- Jeremiah prophesied the Word of the LORD, in words similar to those of Jesus in
Revelation 2-3: "RETURN (repent), faithless Israel, declares the LORD. *I will not
look on you in anger, for I am merciful*, declares the LORD; I will not be angry
forever. ONLY ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GUILT, THAT YOU REBELLED against the LORD your God"
(Jer. 3:12-13). Compare this with Isaiah 54:9 to understand the meaning and faith-
requirement of the grace promise in "I will not be angry with you and will not
rebuke you".

And what more shall I say? The witnesses and examples are too numerous to count. I
warn you that if you teach a different doctrine and do not agree with the sound
words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostolic and prophetic teaching that is
accords with godliness, you are proud and puffed up with conceit, you understand
nothing, but you have the sickness of morbid interest for controversy and quarrels
about words, such as about ??�????e�? (homologeo) vs. e???�????e�? (exomologeo, a
compound of "ek/ex" and "homologeo" which intensifies "homologeo") which actually
show your ignorance of the Greek language. Blind guide! Repent and humble yourself
under the mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you in due time, lest Jesus come
to you like a thief in the night. Children in understanding should not be teaching
on their Facebook walls, but rather learning and exercising yourself in godliness.
You are putting yourself in serious danger by teaching such foolishness. And, by
the way, I believe in the eternal security of the saved. What I did here is to wash
your feet. Humble yourself and receive it. Grace to you.
