    Heart Talks on Holiness

    You'd have to do your own research....this is the first book of his that I am reading.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I'm going by the definition that Brengle gave..... You're right, that's not what it means, but that's one of the benefits...as well as much more!

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I agree! Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God Jesus says: John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. I agree, we must be regenerated! Which means made clean (whiter than snow, Isaiah 1:18)...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Thank-you!! (The sad face was for "not many interested in holiness these days".) This is true but sad because "without holiness none shall see the Lord."

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The only One I want to "reason" with is the Lord. Isaiah 1:15-20 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I would agree, but you asked me.... and I replied.... Separation like this.... Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    What exactly do you mean by dead to sin? That I don't sin anymore? That's how I understand "dead to sin". When something is dead, there is no life in it. In which case, in all honesty, I don't try to sin, my heart is not to sin, but I certainly wouldn't/can't say that I don't sin. I would...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    What a wonderful, glorious day here!! So Chapter 3 is a real page turner!! This is just the first page of the 3rd chapter!! "CHAPTER III. Holiness: How to Get It. Holiness is that state of our moral and spiritual nature which makes us like Jesus in His moral and spiritual nature. It does not...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I believe regeneration is defined in the same sentence..."which washes away all the man’s guilt, and all the sin for which he is responsible." I don't have a problem with this definition. I also understand that one could see this as the beginning of the race of faith which could be the...

    You are asking my opinion of what the author thinks? Why would it matter??

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I love this book...and I want to read more!!! "...this work is not to be a slow, evolutionary process, but an instantaneous work, wrought in the heart of the humble believer by the Holy Ghost. Blessed be God! And the Bible further teaches that the one thing needful on our part to secure this...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    So, I found/find this very interesting what Brengle says/teaches: "Some people say that growing in grace is the remedy. Some people say you never get rid of it while you live. It will remain in you and war against you till you die. They are not altogether prophets of despair, for they say the...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Continuing....Brengle goes on to say this: "John calls it “sin,” as distinct from “sins,” and the “ works of the devil.” Ezekiel calls it a “ stony heart ” (chap, xxxvi. 26). The theologians call it “inbred sin,” “original sin,” and “depravity.” Whatever you wish to call it, it is something...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Hi, I've been a "visitor" to this site from many, many years and finally became a member when one thread I was interested in took off and I wasn't able to read it as fast as it was happening. That's what sparked my membership...but what keeps me away is all the ridiculous bickering. My interest...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Your statement is very unkind. I have no cult leader. These type of statements chase kind people away.....but what do you care about good fruit?
