A couple of extra passages to note.

Nehemiah 9, that great and awesome post-Exilic prayer of national repentance contains one of the clearest OT pictures of grace you can get: verses 16-21 (but esp. 18-21). Incredible declaration of the Gospel right there, 480 years before Jesus preached it.

Ezekiel 6, [after I have utterly destroyed you and left a scant remnant], "then you will remember how I have been broken by [your] whoring hearts which have departed from me" [whoring after your wretched idols].

Yes, blood and flesh Israel continues to break YHWH's heart with their perpetual persuit of idols and abominations. And so do we when we too turn away to chase the worthless trinkets and vain promises of this passing age. But even in Eze. 6 is the Gospel of repentance:

Ezekiel 6:9

[9] "then those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes that go whoring after their idols. And they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations."

The level of evil is quite ostentatious.

Good writing and scriptural support. This is one of and perhaps the most pernicious among the many "doctrines od demons" served on the the plate of countless brick and mortar churches over many years. It continues to persist, despite exposure by biblical revelation, that this is a man-made system of deception.

A recommended study on this heresy with your bible on your lap and using Scipios bible references (a walk-thru history of its development, naming names of those responsible for it & those who have called out these false prophets for what they are.)

You're antisemite. Kidding. Satan has brilliantly infiltrated the body (church) of Jesus Christ like a cognitive disorder. As if people that call themselves Jews are somehow set apart and the political state of Israel has license to murder. It's insane. Zionism (fake Jews controlling the Jewish community) has infiltrated the church, controls our governments, Hollywood, etc. They are of their father the devil (Jn 8:44). What part of that do Jesus Christ followers not understand. They are of the synagogue of Satan (Rev 3:9). The same Satanists that rejected Yeshua are still rejecting and defiling Him today. God bless you.

I have a bit of an odd request. Might you check out a British acquaintance’s website — https://www.2malachi.com/start-here/ — and give me your opinion. I’m concerned that the author of that website might be schizophrenic. Many times schizophrenics are overly filled with religious zeal and enthusiasm. My younger brother was and he killed himself when he was nineteen, a little over forty years ago. I’m hoping to help this guy, but I don’t know how. Any suggestions?

In all seriousness, lots of prayer.

Schizophrenia and religious zeal?

I published a stack on this topic five days ago! Maybe you find some answers:

Bipolar.

Going through it myself, but I have been gifted enough wisdom to check my behaviour. There are several interlocking phenomena between bipolar, acute stress disorder and PTSD that combine to create fatal cult experiences. I'll write about it sometime as I took lengthy notes on it just today in my journal.
