I'm not the one comparing my spiritual journey with Paul's. I'm not worthy of him, not even close. I simply accept his counsel to be God's word....to be of that same mind as he. You seem to be imputing things that aren't written. Shouldn't we take what is written at face value? Paul didn't...

I googled the question “what did Madame Guyon believe about imputed righteousness?” and this below is the answer that came back….. (let me know your thoughts @Episkopos) Madame Guyon believed in a form of imputed righteousness rooted in the Puritan concept of justification by faith alone, where...

Well, I think it is a matter of honesty to express and discuss honest points of contention and observation. I don't call myself anything but a believer.....but God can call me anything He wants and ascribe to me anything he wants and I will gladly and gratefully receive it. It is not "me"...

ok, thank you, I might have a look at her book. I don't dispute that we are, or should be, on a journey of a growing and fuller or deeper consecration and being separated (surrendering) from self and from the world. But I don't see that is possible without the foundation of Christ in us. What...

Where do I come into this...? I'm not talking about myself. This is a common tactic of yours, to twist things back onto those who are not agreeing with you. Such tactics do not proceed from the Holy Spirit, but from elsewhere. Paul was testifying that he considered he was still trying to win...

I will further say that I perceive your understanding to be from the Tree of Knowledge (carnal mind), not the Tree of Life (Spirit). It often closely resembles the truth because the difference between flesh and spirit is like a thin fine line.

Was Paul a saint, who didn't consider that he had already attained and was still seeking to apprehend that for which Christ had apprehended him.....? He didn't call his race finished until he was about to die. He also admonished the church to be of the same mind as he, which was one of...

I've noticed you don't cotton on to spiritual things. Sad but not surprising for someone who calls the preaching of the gospel the preaching of death. Relying on one's own righteousness is what leads to death. It's the power of God that brought us to faith and changed us in the first place...

And no wonder. Those who are relying on their own righteousness easily become enamoured with themselves. It just feeds their pride and vanity. Kind of like actors in Hollywood.

Through the Holy Spirit I only wish you meant. Some people are forever splitting linguistic hairs under a microscope but Jesus and the apostles weren't teaching and preaching to linguistic scholars and intellectuals were they. On the contrary the truth was hid from such and revealed to such as...

Either way I believe one does well to lift up the true gospel and warn against that deception....the last days comes for everyone at the end of our days as individual souls, in any case. Christendom is coming under God's judgment, of that I have no doubt at all.

Bless you sister. That might or might not be about right, subject to the Lord confirming or correcting it. I wouldn't try to hold Him to an exact number in any case....it could just be representative or symbolic and conveying the general idea of a remnant not being the majority. I have often...

His kingdom is not of this world, amen. NAR and their Kingdom Now, Seven Mountain theology believing our job is to take over the world are badly mistaken. We are not here to fix this world, but to rescue souls OUT of it before the judgment/wrath comes. We ourselves are in the world but also...

Brother, I'm seeing a church and society in free-fall in western Christendom, and sin and evil seems to be increasing everywhere as well as a lot of it being exposed.....I wonder if this is the earth disclosing the blood shed on it. It's not looking good. But I'm also mindful that Jesus said...

You need to stop splitting hairs.....that is the carnal mind trying desperately to make the scripture fit your doctrine, instead of forming doctrine from what the scripture teaches. The natural man can't perceive the things of God because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned. By your carnal logic...

Our new man is righteous and holy. But we still need the Lord to be imputing His righteousness to "us", because we still have an old man still existing. Sure wish you would get the foundation of your gospel right...as it is, I'm afraid it is a false gospel, bottom line.

Yes I've heard about the bema and Great White Throne, but haven't looked into it up to now. Whether they are literally two different thrones or not the final outcome is the same. OSAS folks are always saying that those who fall away were never really Christians in the first place......but what...

Isaiah cried, though the number of the Israelites be as the sands of the sea, only a remnant will be saved. I believe this applies to the number of Gentiles as well. I don't know for sure, but I'm just guessing possibly 10% who are holy to the Lord...? I'm wondering if that is what a tithe...

Not sure there are two judgment seats, but for sure there are two ultimate fates....either eternal life or the lake of fire. With varying degrees of reward or torment, I believe, as the Lord deems to be just. To enter into eternal life one must still be in a state of grace at the time of their...

In Romans 4 right in the very context of the Lord imputing righteousness to the ungodly, it says "God calleth those things which be not as though they are". It is only by the Spirit of Christ in us that we can see and grasp what the gospel is. An indescribable GIFT. But of course it doesn't...
