If you were one of his servants and Abraham confided in you over how stressed out he is over the fact that God commanded him to sacrifice his son what would you say to him? Do you honestly believe that you would tell him to trust God?

I think it's more likely you'd tell him that it's the voice of Satan that he hears. Or that he's crazy and that he should get some help. I think you'd say that there's no way God would command something like that. And with absolute confidence you'd say that God doesn't want you to murder your son. Which is extremely arrogant because you know that you cannot possibly know the will of God and yet still you assume to know.

I confide in you and not once has a Christian ever told me to trust God. It's always been the latter. You guys are Christians supposedly. But you think like atheists, because you immediately adopt the position of disbelief when I claim to be me. And you hold so firmly to that disbelief even when shown evidence that my claims are true. Just like an atheist who holds firmly to their disbelief when shown evidence that Jesus is God.

I've only talked to two Christians who were more agnostic in their thinking. They didn't believe me nor did they adopt the position of disbelief. They were simply open to the possibility that maybe what I claim is true because unlike you they at least had the sense to acknowledge that they do not know. I wish you guys were more like them.

But you guys, even though you know that you do not know, you're so confident in your ignorance that you don't hesitate to insult me and accuse me of either being crazy or confusing God for Satan. Even when I explain the logic behind why God wants me to do what I'm supposed to do you don't believe. Which tells me that you truly do not believe in the God of the Bible who works miracles. And I just think that's so funny.

But this Is the pattern all throughout time. What generation didn't believe in the God that they claimed to believe in? The Jews say they believe in their God. But all through the days of Moses all they did was express disbelief over and over, even after all the miracles they witnessed. Even the apostles after witnessing the miracles of Jesus did not believe that he could return from the dead. Do you think you're different?

In the beginning I was naive. I thought we're in modern times now. People know how to reason and think logically. If I explained things well enough, explain the logic and show the evidence I could get them to see. But I don't think any of you even try to see. I think you're so closed off to the possibility that the word of God is true that you immediately insult me for claiming what I know to be true.

That's why I'm so jaded. It's cause I know how you are. I wanted to like you guys. But seeing how disgusted you are at the truth repulses me. And so I'm repulsed by you.

I meant to stop after the first paragraph, then I just kept typing lol. Answer the question honestly though. What would you say to Abraham if he confided in you?

Hi, I know I’ve been inactive here due to personal priorities. I just wanted to share and respond to some of the criticisms I’ve saw today and remind everyone what our priorities are for this community.

The moderators and even members here have various different beliefs regarding biblical doctrines. Our goal however, as moderators, is to promote Jesus and bring others to salvation. This community allows dialogue, disagreement, and we even welcome the doubting, because we want the truth to be made apparent. Jesus asserts He is the way, the truth, and the life.

As far as our convictions go about calling out communities like NAR and the Pentecostal movement. This is something God has placed on our hearts, and for me it is because I did not know my Father until I deconstructed from those harmful movements. It comes from a place of love to want to encourage you guys to seek the truth in God’s Word. You don’t have to agree with everything we post, but this comes from a good place in our hearts to correct and point to Jesus.

The most loving thing we can do as Christians is to speak the truth, despite how uncomfortable it makes people feel. If we stay silent on everything, nothing will ever change. Just as people are politically active to want changes within their country. We as Christians should be spiritually active to want changes within our community. Our goal should be leading people to Jesus, but also to cut the weeds around us.

Despite how you feel about some of these recent posts, I hope you recognize that there’s a diversity of thought in the body of Christ and all of us in moderator positions want you all to know the truth in Jesus Christ and find salvation and peace in Him first and foremost.

Thank you,

Acelia
