An American Christian named Rosaria Butterfield has preached against some of lies that are permeating modern culture.
She does part of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJaQYNrKaWI
and I have seen other videos of her on this
She is of course correct.
BUT I reply to her post below. For such denunciations barely scratch the surface
FWD
and I said . . .
This very good and necessary. Now i suggest she looks at the lies that have been the foundation of the church since almost the beginning.
and note i did say ALMOST. i never said these following lies were ever preached by the apostles. ND NEVER WILL
But the carnal mind, when it encounters the commandments of God will always twist them, corrupting them into something else entirely, namely lies and they include
1/ that forced obedience against one's own heart is genuine and that God both requires it and is pleased with it
2/that faith can be engendered, ie pumped up by willpower
3/ that love is actions and has nothing to do with feeling
4/that doctrinal assent equals saving faith
5/ that we actually believe the gospel of Christ and are honest about it when our lives show WE DO NOT
6/ that His yoke is hard ( remember that He said it was EASY
we can preach all we like against the lies she speaks about but until we look at the ones i list here we have NOTHING to counter these other lies with for we do NOT believe the gospel. After all the hypocrisy of us Christians is proverbial and has been for CENTURIES

You can disagree with me, even spiritedly. But keep it civil as I am the one hurt by cruelty. I must protect myself from nastiness and will block or ban users if I must. And it would help if you offered reasons for your disagreements. If they are good I may respect you. If they are sound I may even change my mind
