There is no refutation for what Esaias has posted. NONE! Even if you take away his comments, and just line up the verses of Holy Scripture he has gathered and made available in the original post, the answer is clear.
For this reason, I quote from and remind us all of the following:
Grace is a teacher!
Titus 2:11-12a,
Quote:
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Rabbi Jesus, by the saving grace and truth that was in Him (
John 1:17), is fully able, through the Holy Spirit of Truth, to help us overcome our own errors and carnal tendencies. The trick, if you will, is to know how to recognize that small, still voice, and hear what the Word of the Lord says. Many, quiet, humble men and women of God have had a simple word or two from the Holy One turn their world upside down.
Let us be patient, apt to teach, and do those things which make for peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the CHILDREN OF GOD.
Peace takes on many forms, but one of the main ways is when two or more brothers or sisters can come together and discuss their differences without rage, animosity, competitiveness, or pride, and together help each other come to a fuller understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
Too many people get in their own way in trying to communicate their understanding of truth, and would find, if they could tone down the approach, and be more amicable in their sharing, the message wouldn't get rejected so much.
Enter the teacher, who, as Paul wrote, is supposed to be GENTLE and NOT STRIVE...
