I’ll take Jesus." The irony here is sweet. I think you'd better check with NS first. Their buildings are very important to them. Like multi-million $ important. If they'd focus on Jesus and not buildings and customs, this blog wouldn't exist. Ben:

Haha Woops. Should have been Matthew 7. Audra, honestly, you speak in circles to the point that it is hard to even respond. I think at the end of your last post you asked if I had judged Perry Noble and Newspring. Yes, I have judged them against scripture and will continue to do so. Would you prefer I throw my bible away? Ben, perhaps you should read the post before commenting? Did he say he hated Noble? Did he even mention a building or customs? Since noone called me out on it…my Matthew 28 reference was wrong.

Gosh, I'm so relieved. I was about to think you actually had a good reason for all of this. I am so glad to know that this is about a building and customs. You can have the building and the customs and all the other stuff. I'll take Jesus. So this is why you hate Perry and Newspring? Gosh, I’m so relieved.

If the spirt is in you then you know what is right and wrong because he tells you so in your heart. And yes I belive that I would know the anti christ because jesus will tell me. I think the only ones who will not know are the ones who Jesus is not there lord and savior. And I also know that as long as I have been going to NS if it was not a place of God and PN was not called to preach then Jesus would have told me to find another church.And yes jesus does speak to me about many things, But my faith has only Grew stronger by going to NS. And No i do not think that for one second That christains should sit back and let God handle it, that is why he gives us the tools we need to be able to judge for ourselves what is right and what is wrong. And I can't tell you how many times PN has said that in church. And how are you (testing) PN and not judging him. The bible say to watch and listen and to judge according to our own heart! It certainly does not say to Judge others. And you can not tell me that you are not judging PN and NS. Now can you? James the bible says be wise and judge for yourself.

In Acts, Paul commended them for testing everything he said against Scripture. Should we not do the same with Noble an all? What about where Paul tells us to test each spirit, and keep what is good. Doesn't that require a judgement against to tell what is bad? What about Jesus warning us against future false prophets in Matthew 28? How we will know these false prophets if we don't judge what they say? Your admonition to sit back and lot God handle it, is not wise or biblical. Audra, what about the Bereans?

You just contradict your self. Go back and count how many times you have judged in the past blog post. My comments are to Mr. Duncan not you! I apoligized for what I said can you go back and apologize for every judgement you have made? James I will not argue with you! You just contradict your self.
