Subject: Correcting words
Hi Paul and Victor,
Have you ever received correction with an open heart? In fair warning, your pride will react instantly to any correction or rebuke. You will immediately start thinking of scripture or ways to back your doctrines and reputation. You may react in anger and arrogance, perhaps with snide or rude remarks discounting the messenger/other person, that may include facts and scripture but are of a proud condescending nature. I know that I’m no better than you, and I’ve struggled with pride and fear and control, and all sorts of crap in my past. So please don’t feel the need to push me down to make yourself feel better. Please don’t react that way now. Ask Him to reveal His heart and love for you right now instead. Please don’t read further until you do.
Tonight I read on your site, so many quotes of yours of people correcting you, and you’re quoted remarks to them, and they are full of great pride. The correctness of your theology and doctrine do not define who you are, nor does trying to prove that you own the Truth show the value of your worth. Please stop trying to own Truth. Truth, and Wisdom are a person. He is your Father and you are His son, and you need to come to Him, seeking His face, and live dependent in Him in fear and in His love, and as a child in humility. You must not look to the left or the right, or to theology, or to all the blog wars (this garbage division and grief among God’s people, including you…the enemy rejoices when he reads these). Fall on the Rock (you don’t want to be crushed instead). Don’t compare yourself to or judge others please, especially those who you don’t even know…not with this pride thing. Judge and humble yourself first or He will.
If someone is in sin and needs your correcting, please go to them first in humility and love and find out the truth. If they truly are false and in sin and won’t repent, go to their pastor…don’t assume they are false based on a few quotes or videos and then publicly declare them online as false and of the devil. That is not the right way to deal with it, and that is not what God has called us to, nor should it be on your website.
Please please please seek to know HIM…read the scriptures to know HIM…NOT theology or to win theology battles. It’s such a sad counterfeit to the joy and Truth He wants you to live in.
I see that the Lord has been drawing you and has revealed many truths of Himself to you, and is refining you…just embrace His refining fire and let go. You guys are amazingly wonderful and God has gifted you and called you as His sons, to an amazing adventurous life full of Him, full of Truth, and full of love. I pray that God reveals His face and heart to you more and more and that both your hearts and mine will be totally surrendered to His.
Take care,
Sarah

“Have you ever received correction with an open heart?”
Yes, we have, Sarah, by God’s grace.
“So please don’t feel the need to push me down to make yourself feel better.”
We feel no such need whatsoever, because we know full well we’re nothing and have nothing to prove to anyone. Listen to It’s Great to Be Somebody.
As for the rest of your letter, it is similarly full of assumptions, opinions, and unrighteous judgments. What Can We Say?

Now, Paul said that not he but God commands that thise who are married - not those who are married in the Lord - do not divorce, but if they do, they are to remain unmarried. Paul addressed first the singletons and widows, then he addressed the married, but says his instruction is a command of God's, then he says, "Now to the REST (neither married nor unmarried) I say..." and he discusses if a man or woman has an unbelieving boyfriend or girlfriend with whom the person is in a serious emotional or sexual relationship with (fornication) in which children may be involved. The third group is being carefully catered to. These verses are for the church in Corinth, a godless city. People there would have had sexual partners and relationships as is the case today. Imagine that today I am a young woman living together with my boyfriend and am pregnant. I become a believer. Now I suddenly have a problem on my hands that I did not habe before. Paul does not command but gives an instruction that if my unbelieving boyfriend consents to live with me, we may live together (he may mean this formalizes the union), but if he doesn't (for example my being a Christian freaks him out and my behavior has changed a lot), then I am not bound to him. The fact that we have eother had sex or have had children does not bind us together. But this i...
From: Charles To: The Path of Truth Sent: Friday, January 08, 2016, 10:00 PM Subject: Eternal or Everlasting I saw your discussion about eternal hell in the title "The True Meaning of Forever, Everlasting and Hell. In it you make attempts at proving that everlasting does not mean forever and ever. So tell me what to make of Jesus' words in John 3:16 when he says God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him has eternal life. If eternal does not mean forever and ever then what exactly is Jesus saying in this verse. Are you saying when scripture talks of punishment for eternity it doesn't mean that but that when we read about eternal life we can beleieve that means forever and ever? I am quite confused by what you write. Charles From: Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk To: Charles Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 6:56 AM Subject: Re: Eternal or Everlasting “Eternal life,” Charles, is a quality of life, not quantity. Notice that there’s no such thing as “eternal death” in the Scriptures. The Lord said to one man, “Follow Me; and let the dead bury their dead” (Matthew 8:22). There are those living in this world who are dead because they don’t have eternal life. They are dead to God. That’s you; you’re dead, and that’s why you don’t understand these things. You’ve been born of the flesh, but not of the Spirit: John 3:1-6 MKJV (1) And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ...

Joe From: Paul Cohen To: Joseph Cc: 'Victor Hafichuk Sent: Friday, February 12, 2016 7:11 AM Subject: Re: Jonathan Cahn Regarding Jonathan Cahn, we glanced at his materials several years ago and had this to say to another person inquiring about him: “We’ve run across The Harbinger before, but didn’t see anything worth spending time on. As I recall, it’s sensationalistic speculation without revelation or a Word from God. Stick to the things that the Lord is making known and the judgment He brings to you personally, and you’ll be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Those captivated with judgment coming on others don’t realize they’re part of the problem and that judgment is coming for them.” Are you reading on our site, Joseph, and if so, are you sharing the Truth the Lord has given us with your wife? Only the Truth that makes free can supplant with Life the knowledge that goes nowhere. Paul From: Joseph To: Victor Hafichuk Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 8:47 PM Subject: Re: Jonathan Cahn I would think his speculation and unfulfilled predictions would meritinclusion in your list as false teachers. Perhaps you can reevaluate ,especially since he has written a second book. Thanks Joe From: Victor Hafichuk To: Joseph ...
