I can’t seem to find the post where someone expressed their problem with blood sacrifice, but it certainly is a difficult stumbling block to overcome. Able certainly had his problems with it, and it’s bothered me too at times. In the end it’s faith that must overcome any lack of understanding. Scripture tells us that God values faith more than sacrifice.
Psalm 111
10: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
...
Proverbs 8
10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
.
17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Proverbs 9
6Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Matthew 13
9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Psalm 82
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

The Bible is The Word Of God
Matthew 7
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

You think the father is limited to just a book? Do you think that all that has created this universe is incapable of speaking directly to people? Oh it was ok for those who wrote the books, but nobody else? Give me a break.
Are you trying to say that a personal relationship with the father amounts to nothing more than a personal book reader? That the father only cares about those who worship a book? NONSENSE!
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

No one other than you can verify the voices you hear. Voices in the head could come from any source, Satan can appear as an Angel of light. The only way to verify the voices you hear is compare them to the truth of the Bible - if they are at odds in even the smallest way with the message of the Bible, or if they tell you of any future event that does not happen, then you can know that the message is not of God.
The Bible speaks the same message and has done throughout the ages. By it, we can come to know God, and test any 'spirit' against it. The Bible was and is essential as it proves beyond any doubt that God alone knows the end from the beginning. There is no other book like it.

Umm, I don't hear voices in my head and I have no use for your religion. I had a vision, which was followed by a period of learning and understanding. My experience is found in John 14.
Christianity is Satanic and has nothing to do with Jesus outside the praising of his name. You don't follow Jesus, you follow Paul and I'll have none of that thank you very much.
If I wasn't able to separate Jesus and the bible from people who believe as you do, I wouldn't speak a word of it. But I'm not going to let you define it for me. You quite honestly make me sick and saddened.

You make a lot of assumptions about me and sound quite angry. I don't follow Paul, I only follow Jesus.
You have no idea as to what I believe, and how I arrived at believing it.
I can't define your beliefs and don't feel a need to. That is precisely what the Bible is for!

I agree with the OP in all but this: Bill Deagle is in my mind without doubt among the deceivers you describe. I wasn’t 30 minutes into listening to some of his video’s when he compared Yahshua to a bowel movement. That’s all I needed to hear. I had listened to his radio show on and off for some time and thought I had discerned intentional confusion, but that brought it all home.
I would recommend that everyone read Blavatsky. Once you are familiar with the type of confusion being sown, you will recognize it wherever you see it.
My recommendation for the truth is Dr. Stan Montieth.
