    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    I am finding that my efforts have not helped a great deal because of some healing to the brain done by trauma, which the Lord has chosen to conceal the full extent of till now by His wisdom. In doing the things advised I see a huge change already.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Agreed, and the rot had really set in during the first century. I am not interested in anything other than how to please God as He has shown in the NT as far as sanctification is concerned. I am not the least interested in how man, in any part of the church has interpreted things.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    We have to take into account, scholastic distinctions, which are apologetic in function, and as far as union with God, the terms are used to show, in opposition to other parts of the church, that this union available to all, there is no hierarchy as in Catholicism and Protestantism, (no second...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Agreed. Ha! It's hard to find one but I did. It is okay. I have done every diet there is. The macrobiotic helped the most but brown rice has arsenic in it now. I eat red meat but about twice a week and have done the carnivore but my thyroid was not happy. I have read up on vitamin a toxicity...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    I say he was a man who was a follower of Christ but had not yet come to the point whereby he could be free from flesh and walk in the Spirit. If you are talking about 1John, I can go over that with you. But yes, she is saying sinless! Agreed ! Wesley said that it is possible to be entirely...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    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.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    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...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    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...

    Lessons from God about healthy Christians

    @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...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...

    Need some help.

    @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...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    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...
