I went on a low carb/keto diet and it nearly ruined my thyroid. I gained loads of weight that I cannot get off from it. I was also intermittent fasting. It is not as easy as some say. I have Hashimotos - immune attack on my thyroid. No meds as I won't take steroids to enable it as I have Lyme...

The two crossings match up with what I said about three stages: there is a movement to two new locations, from a first. God leads them to each one, each nearer to the promnised land. Please note that here is no continuing journey to the promised land, there is a definate break in the crossing...

Amen! I have said nothing to disagree with this. It is by faith we are sanctified. It is by believing that it is finished - it happened on the cross and now all we have to do is believe it and obey whatever the Holy Spirit asks of us. That means complying with His dealings with us which follow...

#There is a process indeed. It is said to be in three stages: Purgation where the Holy Spirit does His work in convicting the soul that they are failing to be what scripture says they should be in showing the power of God in all they do, as an overcomer, and acting like Paul in Romans 7. This...

Yes I understand. Anyone can check if they are online by asking God where they are not walking with Him as they could. He will answer.

I agree, that God has mercy towards those who have not hardened their hearts and seek Him and as you say, walk according to the light they have been given. For these, He is most patient and will give them all chances they need to fulfill His purpose for all men, to restore them to what He...

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of...

Thank you marks for the opportunity to look again in detail at the doctrine of the second coming. But just to add to your comment on theosis, it is entirely scriptural and is referred to in 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be...

The Day of Jesus Christ is not interpreted in the way you mean, according to the theology I am explaining. The Day of the Lord, rather refers to the day of transformation/transfiguration, or the day of baptism by the Spirit. The very early church taught this as the day when Theosis would be...

I think that is about it. A good few thought that it brought one too near far eastern practises.

No we do not have to be fully sanctified to gain from the word. But the deeper things are not yet revealed to us. Those who have reached that stage can guide us but the emphasis must be on teaching the person to listen to God speaking.

Yes the new man in Christ is holy - completely holy, you cannot have partial holiness. ALL things become new. A little yeast spoils the whole dough (or whatever). At that point, the old man has been crucified and this is vital as the Holy Spirit cannot dwell where there is sin. It must be done...

Of course - everything must be verified in scripture. So long as we are in the same spiritual state as those who wrote it. Then we are qualified to interpret it. In the very early church, only those who had reached the state of being united with Christ and walking in the Spirit, in complete...

Also, it is not just believing in a doctrine, for those who have truly lived it. It is like saying to someone who claims they have been born again (a bit premature) after a first encounter with Christ that it did not happen. It has becomne their life.

Of course they won't, even Paul at one point was not sure if he was speaking his own understanding or not. We always will be learning but it is at levels, and once the Holy Spirit has convicted us that positional holiness is error, we can never return from that. It must be in spirit and in truth...

I agree that we need to train ourselves to listen to the Holy Spirit and give ourselves completely in obeying Him and leading us on the paths of righteousness, but I have personally been helped a lot by these writers like, St John of the Cross, Watchman Nee, General Booth (SA), Oswald Chambers...

I have previously read these views on Guyon and agree that she went a little to far on some things, but her basis was correct - we are enabled through Christ to be fully united with Him and share in His divine energies making us perfect. It is a mistake to get bound up in the details without...

Madame Guyon is a good example of an already believer who came to a crisis point in her journey with Christ, that is spoken of by others throughout church history. You can read it in some early church writers, for example St Maximus the Confessor, who I think is the clearest, then some, easier...

I think he means simple not complicated.

Hi Nancy as the book I mentioned says, it does not always show up in bloods as what gets into the cells is the important thing and B12 transport and absorption are complicated. It is common for people to find that taking the activated B12 - methylcobalamin in shots or oils, not the hydroxy oral...
