In this sense, Orthodoxy believes that human life reaches its fulfillment only when it becomes divine. This is the goal of man, to be united with God and the man is not as he was meant to be without it. Divine is not having God's attributes, but being deified or holy as He is holy as we are...

Thanks same back. I don't see it this way. If you cook from scratch, there are plenty of cheap ingredients like lentils and farmers markets where you can get cheap fresh produce. Many say they cannot afford to eat quality foods yet spend plenty on other things as they have their priorities...

I did not say He does not heal today. I said it is not as common as in the past. If you say He heals as much you are looking at satanic healing which is what is seen in charismania. I am Spirit baptised yes and have followed Christ for 50 years.

@GodsGrace Thank you for that very thoughtful and thorough reply which I will get onto in the morning.

Sorry I did not put that correctly. I am 74. :Ohz Yes agreed many have no choice but when we have and do not take advantage of it for our health, that is sinful behaviour in my mind. The flesh is also the natural for example our God given instincts. But of course we die when we die, but if...

I have not actually and think you are fooling yourself.

Thanks. Don't worry, the avenue I am researching has plenty of evidence based science behind it. The aim is first of all to get the nervous system quietened down as it has been on high alert since childhood. As for allopathic doctors, I stay well away from them. My system is too sensitive for...

I forgave the perpetrators a long time ago. I am afraid this mind over matter idea causes great harm to people like me with cPTSD. The autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve need to be restored and that does not come with 'walking away'. It needs specific treatment that has nothing to do...

Sister, I am not suffering from aging - that problem I have found, is mainly due to the unhealthy western diet and the pills taken to alleviate the symptoms, as I have eaten an organic whole food diet for 42 years. No, my illness is due to childhood trauma, mercury poisoning and Lyme Disease...

But you say that the devil brings it up in the mind so a mind problem. My experience has been that the damage caused to me was buried deep despite baptism of the Spirit with the fruit. Not fruits. I was too young for fight or flight. I was in freeze. Anxiety can also be caused by problems...

Brother I was 10 months old when the abuse started in full swing, having been admitted to hospital after mercury poisoning from medications. I was sent back home to take on a scapegoating role in a narcissistic family, then on to two abusive marriages. You do not recognize abuse when it has...

@dev553344 You are missing an important condition, that is to say complex post traumatic stress 'disorder' (I prefer injury) which is very common and causes injury to the brain and nervous system which can be healed by various means and is talked about in Bessel Van Der Kolk's book The Body...

Sister, we are not far apart in our beliefs. However, the timing is an issue. If anyone had told me that I had received the Holy Spirit when I first believed, and was convinced reading scripture that I had indeed been saved, plus the church told me so, I would have argued to the death! What we...

@GTW27 As well as prayer, it might be of interest to know that a Christian has this site: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/ He is also on Facebook. Chris had stage 4 colon cancer and used the methods he explains especially diet to cure himself. I know he is probably older than you but I am...

Just to add that I am providing opposing views and do not endorse the ones I have provided. They are for information only as in the Walking With Giants site.. Those using the argument that the early church taught the unsaved version that was Paul an unbeliever, are taking things entirely out of...

@Lizbeth @marks @GodsGrace @MatthewG Romans 7. In returning to Romans 7, the correct interpretation of which is vital for one wishing to understand the doctrine this thread is about, and which is found in the early church writings as Theosis and much later in the west as entire...

It is what is left when the error is taken away and what is left does not contradict scripture (but not proof texting). It happens when you can discern the voice of God when you have reached that stage of spiritual growth of which I have spoken of on other threads.

I agree absolutely, that we must bring everything we hear from God directly, under the direction of scripture. It is always secondary for me to me to take early teachings into consideration. It becomes a problem though when people speak from their denominational understanding of texts...

I agree that there is a danger of eastern mysticism spilling over into Christian mysticism, which is nothing but being sensitive to hearing the voice of God, obeying what He says, and becoming more deeply intimate with Him. This is simplicity itself, much more than studying biblical doctrine...

To be set aside, is a part of it. but in the OT, items, a type and shadow of His people, were not only set aside, but cleansed.
