It is a fact. Do you ever Google stuff, or you just like to ricicule people when you hear something new you haven't heard before?

Are you also aware that the military, in full artillery, bulletproof vests, are being placed in cities to get people used to marshal law, to seeing armed soldiers in our towns and cities? Alex Jones reports on his show yesterday and today Marines armed, w/ Humvees with big guns on them, parked in front of Toys R Us in Austin, TX, passing out toys. Nice PR stunt that gullible people in denial will fall for.
So sad to see the reaction of people like you who refuse to open your eyes.

In my experience, not only do the pastors not know their Bibles, knowing only what they were told in seminary, but they don't know how to apply the stuff they were spoonfed either. They rely on each other for warmed over sermons and offer platitudes to their people that makes them victims of the culture and lacking in saltiness.
The church is a racket, just as medicine, education, media, agriculture, you name it. Further, many 501c3 pastors are outright agents of Satan's system, having signed contracts with the government agreeing to preach only the party line.
28,000 pastors, at least, have signed up with Homeland Security to help round up Christians during marshal law per Romans 13.
Very sad situation we have, but it explains a lot of the apathy, or prejudiced and hateful attitude of Christians, support of torture and unprovoked war.

Integrity?
It depends if you are a Calvinist or not.

May God bless His Israel this Thanksgiving Day. (Gal 6:16)
Yesterday my nephew (one of four nieces and nephews; all very dear to me) had emergency surgery to remove a ruptured disc in his lower back. Early yesterday morning (5:30 AM) his legs just quit working with no warning other than a severe lower backache. The doctor indicated after surgury that sensation and full use of his legs should return by this morning. I learned early this morning that no sensation or feeling had returned and they now concede that my nephew will likely be paralyzed from the waist down. He is forty years old, raised in a disfunctional family, single and without the love of God in his heart.
If your complaint in your linked post below is the most troubling thing in your life at the moment then I'd suggest you get on your knees and give God praise and thanks on this Thanksgiving Day as there are people all over the world with real problems.
God bless you, Dessie.
Fellow Saint wrote:First and foremost a solid foundation in some important basic doctrines: Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Scripture Alone, Christ Alone to God's glory alone, at least that much, setting that pastor and the local church on a good Protestant doctrinal standard. And the pastor also needs to know this is truly his calling, to be serving the Lord in the congregation.

You said,"I don't think you know the difference in the intellect and the Spirit."
I know how to read the English language and how to define the uncomplicated words of the Scripture. For instance, I know what the simple term "firstborn" means. I even know what "predestinate" means.
You said,"You have no discernment of spiritual matters and are trying to understand the Word of God with your intellectual abilities."
Are you suggesting there is a non-intellectual means to understand words? Have you become a Calv?
You,
"Some day you are going to find out that you do not know everything there is to know."
Your post made me realize that. That is the reason for the questions.
