I wrote about knowing Rico Cortes and he never said he is humble that is what we all see in his actions and it really does not matter what you all believe being that what I read in this website is so strange and judgmental to other ministries that are trying teach the word. I amazing how much you all really know the bible and how it seems to me that only you guys are the only ones that know how to interpret scriptures. you know what just live the scriptures and let your fruit be your witness. Times are hard in the world and the world needs to have the body of Messiah United instead you all really divide. Maybe you guys should jump on a plane and meet this teachers in a public arena and just debate the points to see if you all could do that? let the scriptures speak. is easy to sit at home and do nothing but judge things.
I hope that you all understand that is my opinion and is ok if you do not agree. In regards to Rico he is a friend and good people and he can kick some behind on the mat. wink wink hehehehe

Hi there Victor,

Nice of you to drop back in. I think it's rather judgmental and hence hypocritical to call everyone judgmental for being Biblically obedient and trying the spirits and proving/testing all things to the Word of God.

You must have a close relationship with Rico, to know his attitudes and behaviors and geneological history so well, including the levitical priest claim. I guess that would be why you also can use his email address. Sorry, I don't normally mention those things, but since you appear to be speaking for Rico, I noticed you also use his martial arts addy.

Did you notice his website has disappeared? Maybe too much focus on being a warrior instead of the Kohen he claims to be....

My personal invitation to Rico is that he come on over and present his geneological data, and prove who he is. Then we can discuss his beliefs. If he has the courage to.

I find it funny that you would find a website focused on Christ and pointing to Him and the Word of God as our standard...to be strange...To me that's strange.

2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

We aren't the only ones to interpret the Scriptures nor do we claim to know it all. However, each has been called to study to show themselves approved and use discernment, which means knowing and using the Word of God---that's our Sword which we "kick some" with. aka heretics and heresies.

We are to rightly divide the Word. The Scriptures are clear about us having sound doctrine and testing those who call themselves leadership--and we need to see if they are fit to be called anything but deceivers.

You might think it's all about uniting everyone---but the Body of Christ is already united. The issue is whether some who claim they are of the Body are wolves.

I think someone's fruit shows--all the time. No matter if they try and hide it or or try to hide who they are...it's still there for all to see. Good or bad. Real or deceptive.

Umm. In case you didn't notice this is a PUBLIC forum, and the internet is PUBLIC and has worldwide outreach. No one I know is "sitting home doing nothing". Many of the 'leaders' in HR are also on the net--being public, and have had or do have rooms on Paltalk etc. They've been refuted totally there and their response is to ban those they don't agree with or keep them red dotted so no one can hear the scriptural, language or factual refutation. Rico experienced that I believe, as you would likely know, being friends with him.

1Ti 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Nomad man, aka Jeff Benner is a member here and came and discussed things. I believe although we dialogued quite willingly and were very friendly, he disappeared. And left after a day. Didn't seem able to answer the hard questions.

But for you Victor, allow me to extend a very personal and special invitation to Rico and any others from HR leadership who want to become members and "discuss" the various beliefs, language claims, ..you name it....the invitation is there to come to this very public forum. Just as Nomad Man did. ...

Although we have discussed the various beliefs in the many threads, we can do it yet again. We could even start off by discussing the Scriptures I am putting into this post.

Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

In these hards times, why would anyone want to waste money jet setting all over when we have an open forum here, at my expense, and which will cost no one else any money...

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
