Definition of a cult

And your chronic and habitual lying show that you don't know anything about "God's Kingdom".

It depends on what you call a public ministry. All Christians are not called to minister exactly alike and there has to be people to minister to. Some people minister by providing food, clothing, and medical assistance. Some are called to minister to bring the truth of Christ to cult members, like yourself. 😏

HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Holy! Holy! Holy!

bwahahaha,

“Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.

see if you can identify yourself, see if you can identify us.

Satan the devil is the accuser of our brothers. I think you are attempting to associate ThinkOfOne with Satan, right?

So you must be one of the brothers that is being accused day and night and who is witnessing and who does not love his soul even in the face of death, right?

He clearly states that Christians are to withdraw from those who are unruly. But if you are not convinced then i suggest you meditate deeply on the following, so that it percolates from your mind to your heart the seat of motivation.

They are counselled not to greet such a person, but a closer examination of the text reveals that the author is talking about a specific type of greeting.

The word used is chairo, which means 'to rejoice'. ie a warm embrace. It doesn't mean a simple hello, if it did the word would be aspasmos.

So it's quite clear the author of 2 John is counselling Christians to not greet those of 'wicked works' in a brotherly way (for want of a better phrase), he's not counselling Christians to greet them at all.

Exactly, Jesus ate with sinners and tax collectors.

The problem here is not really what the Bible does or doesn't say, it's that the Governing Body of the Jehovah Witness cult tells the cultees to shun people. So they do.

LOL, more pedantry, he is counselling Christians not to greet them, not because of the nuances in greetings, weather brotherly, cordial or anything else, but because of their wicked works, it makes no difference whether it is an embrace or a hello or a handshake or anything else.

I know that it doesn't tell me to psychologically bully people who don't conform to my rules, just because I think I am the sole holders of god's truth.

yawn, always on about what the Bible doesn't say rather than what it does, i tell you what it does say, suck this up,

(Proverbs 16:28) A man of intrigues keeps sending forth contention, and a slanderer is separating those familiar with one another.

see if you can work out its meaning.

I know the meaning of this from Matthew:

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

its admirable in itself, but one must draw sound arguments on the basis of your analysis. Its encouraging though, you surpass many of the Christians.

You know what robbie I've just realised what you are, you're a modern day Pharisee; bound up in the legalistic tradition of your sect and full of dead mens bones.
