True or fake, who are we to lay the judgement.. we are to defend ourselves from fake prophets.. never in the bible were we asked to attack.. .
and by learning God's word in depth, it is an even more effective manner to defend from false prophets or false doctrines..
2 Timothy 2:15-19

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Faith cometh by hearing.. not by arguing..

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
And to your anger in truth...
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
What more does the Bible say about those need reproof of doctrines?
Hebrews 5:11-14

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Up to now, i don't see how this thread is beneficial to Christians.. (benefit of doubt to those who think they are saved but are not).. It is a sad thing that this thread is a thread of arguments rather than a thread for Christians to grow..grow as in taking meat rather than milk..
Exactly what Satan would have desired to happen.. give a bunch of people argue.. and yet turning round and round the bush..
1 Corinthians 3:4-11

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Your discernment is actually very, very lacking.
If you really are interested in learning and debating on the truth, this thread is not the best place to do so. If you cannot see that up to now, you seriously are very deceived.
I guess Jesus was wrong then for being angry when the pharaisees where misrepresenting the truth.
1 Corinthiams 3:4-11 does not apply to this thread. If you think it applies, I guess your eyes have not opened yet.
That's my point. If you still think this is really a Christian Thread, even after reading the things here, I really got nothing to say to you.
I hope you are not like a certain person that you "discussed" before but then at the same time, just want to hear doctrines that tickle your ears.
Maybe you should go and read the verse that states that we should not share pearls to swines?
