The Heart and the Philippians The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked and who can know it? Jer 17:9 For as he thinks in his heart so is he Prov: 7 For out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts Matt 15:19 It is the heart which is the seat of the moral life not the...

Not met personally but I believe that the very early bishops were chosen on those terms. Then again I have not been looking for any.

The verse says if we sin, not when we sin which it would if that was the expectation. We can be restored but as Hebrews tells us it is not easy and man cannot do it, only God so serious a matter it is. And it can take quite some time.

"Finite Understanding: Humans have finite minds, and our understanding is limited by factors such as language, cultural differences, and personal biases. " This is only correct for the carnal mind. The spirit of man is revealed truth by the Spirit. "A false teacher teaching error can spread...

Yes. There is the need to know how not to slip back into seeing things from human eyes rather than spiritual, and all of the guiles of the enemy and keep them in mind which is the hardest. But that longing for more closeness with God has been satisfied. He has filled the hole as it were...

Paul often used the term 'we' or 'let us' when he was obviously not including himself. In 2 Cor 5:11-20 It seems the word "we" sometimes refers just to the apostles (eg verse 12-13). Other times it refers to everyone (eg verse 21). However it is often ambiguous (eg verse 14, 20). Yes I think it...

Brethren, how sad it is when the church does not have unity on this, the most important doctrine of all and even less today than ever. For if we get this one wrong, there is no hope for us. We are either in or out of Christ, as in the time of Noah, when you were in or out of the ark. You are...

@Johann I know you would like to do it, but I have found it futile arguing scriptures with anyone wearing different lenses. I found this out with JW's. Unless someone is showing some inclining of seeking the truth then I consider it a waste of my precious little time to get into that. Besides...

I don't believe this: Ephesians 2:8, Paul says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” I am talking about doctrine here not praxis. Do you have any examples of additional doctrines? This is true, but as I have mentioned, many who enter...

They were all in agreement about Theosis and how it is attained in the first few hundred years, and then belief in gradual sanctification grew. It is one or the other and there have always been opposers as Satan has always been active to destroy the number one doctrine he hates, as sinning...

There is much testing of course, during the period where we are led to the fullness of ES, and the trials help strengthen us as you say. Once we are in the fullness however, everything changes and we get the full on battle with Satan whereas before we had enough battling within ourselves. It...

Scripture says that, when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part will cease ie will be in fullness, including knowledge. I take this to mean entire sanctification as it also says: “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I...

Indeed but the only disagreement that counts is over the issue of what God expects of us in this life ie entire sanctification or the deliverance from the presence of sin, which is the answer to mans' problems. There were of course opposers to this question and is now endemic. They are said...

Thanks sister I appreciate the support as it has been tough. Up till this week I have only been able to drive a couple of miles shopping but this week it has been four hours over the four days. The Lord enabled. Yes I agree. The remnant is very small today. There has always been opposition to...

My computer is all sorted, after a wait of ten days and many one hour heavy driving trips taking it back and forth, for further work. It was the system driver, then I found out, the mouse needing replaced. Even though it was extremely stressful, not driving much of late, due to my health, I feel...

Oops was meant to be in the previous post @marks. Good news! New tech has fixed it and l lost nothing! Thank you Father!

She stopped because she had felt the full force of his blows. Maybe she naively thought he was not going to do that to a woman.

I can't understand why the woman went ahead with the fight, after she saw the obviously male body of her contestant in the ring.

This idea would go against the whole principle of the OT and the cleansing of the temple before God could come down and dwell in it.OF Brethren l am very sorry l am unable to get back to answer all of the questions that still remain. The shop l took my pc to is messing about and l still, since...
