Question Everything
This is like saying "anyone who loves is born a Democrat, for Democrats invented welfare, and caring for those in need."
Those who love, and are not a Democrat, might take offense...

Ghosts? What twaddle are you hallucinating?That was my exact thoughts about your original post. Making things up in order to concoct a post to fight your ghosts.Go back and look at the history. It's easy to do.
And you say I am making things up
after I proved that "used of" is a saying.
Are you quite well?

Did you miss this part:
" Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"
That comes first.

Well 1 is just a false equivalence, love is word we use to describe a range of different emotions, the god is superfluous at best.
2 is demonstrably untrue, as I love and have loved, and I don't "know god". Nor of course am I alone in that.

And you are quite sure you don't neglect truth?
I'm quite well. Yourself?
If you don't recall, I said you are apparently fighting ghosts, because you responded to something that nobody on this thread actually said. If you believe they actually said "used of God", then it is your hallucination. Hence, "ghosts". Of course, you can always prove me wrong by pointing me to where they actually said "used of God". That would settle this question pretty quickly. Which post number offers this "proof" you speak of?
God can start.
Then God's believers can follow the example.
They need to prove it.
We Never Know
No Slack
How does a myth start doing anything?
Who starts proving it first? Straight, gay, trans, black, white, religious, nonreligious, etc etc.
That is a good question for believers. And where is their absent God?

Any believer who acts through dogma against others, especially marginalized categories of people like gays and trans.
We Never Know
No Slack
I would more think "Anyone who acts against others regardless of the reason"

Yes, quite sure.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

No doubt you believe that is true.

I see no one is going to mention the elephant in the room, that the passage is actually addressing people that are already believers in Christ.
InChrist

Yes, I do. Do you?
No critical thinker believes in this Christian idea, it simply is absurd and non-rational.
So why would we expect believers to understand what this means. The real question is: what does "through" mean?
