How can this be? It is time the Remnant grow up in wisdom and consider that these are the last days for which they were created. It is time they get in the presence of the Lord, remove all distractions, and sharpen their sword by renewing their mind with the Word and start using it for what it was meant for: the enemy! The Lord is grieved at the twisting of scripture for personal gain and manipulation. People better start fearing the Lord now because correction is coming. We must learn self-control and humility.
It is time we take a seat at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to heal our brokenness of rejection and insecurity. It is time we sit in the Refiner's fire and allow Him to burn away anything that does not look like our Savior. It is time that we ask for an increase in discernment and close our mouths of our own opinions long enough to hear the opinion of the Lord. There is a war going on, and too many of God's children are being used as a pawn in the devil's schemes, and God is grieved!

I Timothy 6:3-5 NKJV
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, [4] he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, [5] useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
