People without experience of God will come up with various dictionary explanations...all vanity. Holiness is living in the presence and power of God. It just so happens that the result is a sinless walk in the Spirit.

Holiness begins by an event...only. There is no such thing as a partial holiness. This is to confuse the purity of holiness with a maturity in character. We can be half mature (immature) but never half-holy. Anybody with any sense of holiness will see that. The only people that have been...

People who try to figure out God's ways will fail. One has to know Him and not His ways...since His ways are past finding out. There are major themes and patterns, but the specifics will vary as He doesn't do the same thing twice the same way. It's very petty to make a theology about what God...

Yes, I read some of his many books many years ago. I remember them encouraging me in the face of a modern church that didn't have any understanding of spiritual things at all...going exactly the opposite way to what is sound and wise and pleasing to God.

That would be all things in the eyes of God....not in our imagination. ;)

You are not understanding the experience. It's one thing to experience something and quite another to get the context right. I too have walked in Zion in the light. I remained the second time for over 2 years. So I know the eternal peace and rest of God. But I fell from that place...I was not in...

God's "enegies" is His Holy Spirit. There is no other energy from God that affects us. You are merely repeating a "factory setting" that somehow is supposed to explain away something that is not found in the bible. You are not understanding the doctrine of theosis as it is taught. Deification...

Can humans be deified? Can we become gods? Or, is the Christian walk about being perfected into Christ in His humanity?

LOL. Lizbeth calleth things as though they were. Those who have any natural discernment can see that. ;)

The simplistic truth is transcended by grasping the truth by the Spirit. Otherwise a religion is created based on word patterns that has no power. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Your rationalistic bent has caused you to assume yourself into the text....but you are not understanding the depth of the verse. You are reading it logically according to your own understanding and experience. This verse is not a name it claim it verse for human beliefs. One needs the faith OF...

I never posted this before because of the forum rules, but here is a deeper take on the subject.

I checked and the 2 Cor. 5:9 is both stated and displayed at 37:47. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 2 Cor. 5:9 What strength of glasses do you use? ;) I go to God for answers. As such, holiness can never be a process. No one becomes holier...

We can be clothed in His righteousness. But that righteousness is always His own. When we abide in Christ we grow into His likeness and partake of the righteousness of saints...which at that point is imputed to us. So then God's righteousness is training saints to become righteous even as He is...

I agree with this. Protestantism is based on Western rationalistic relativism which means that nothing truly spiritual and miraculous can be accepted. Everything is just seen as moralistic, hyperbole, figurative, or abstract. This causes a person to miss the mark by undervaluing the mystery and...

I have laid out in detail how religious people twist the meaning of words to arrive at a place where self-justification seems reasonable. But imputation is really very simple. God imputes to people what is real not imagined. If God sees something worthy of being called righteous, He imputes...

Old Testament righteousness: Either by works or by faith. Examples are of both Phinehas and Abraham respectively. (Please do not respond unless a study of both is done...otherwise one is just opining in ignorance of the scriptures). God can impute righteousness to a person for either faith or...

This episode is a follow-up to "Harmful Doctrines Part 1" whereby we continue to examine certain words that are being presently misunderstood by many, as well as other doctrines that are based on an incomplete understanding of God's ways.

Your imaginative reading of the bible is not the purpose of this thread. You can imagine yourself as the hero in the text...as a fun speculation...but to try pretending to understand the teachings by rebuking actual believers is a terrible thing that invites a very hard judgment from God. Will...

Believing in a cross is not the same as experiencing the power of it. Your ministrations are purely religious having no power but to think that you are righteous by your own beliefs. All who agree with your outlandish claims are also in the same category as you.
