    Often b vit multis do not contain enough thiamine b1for better brain function. I take extra. Tinnitus is a sign of some deficiency I think. We sometimes think that we have fully submitted till a crisis comes along as in the life of Wesley.

    Hi sister. I understand about the poor memory. Do you take b vitamins? I agree that sanctification is also a process that begins when we come to Christ. It is a matter of being purified. It seems that once one reached a certain stage, they are then trained in walking in the Spirit but then they...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    @marks I hope you don't mind me moving this post of yours here as it is discussing the same subject: Monday at 8:17 PM Add bookmark #528 I don't understand them that way. "There remains no more sacrifice", this means once you've learned about Jesus, you can't go back to offering sheep, and...

    @Johann brother, I think you need to take a break here. It seems to me that you are being triggered and having a complex-trauma fueled 'fight' response because you strongly disagree with me. Debate can only take place correctly and in a godly manner, if the two parties show each respect, love...

    I have already debated the issue of denying self on epi/John's thread with his video on the subject and have no interest in reviving it. It is selfISHNESS that is against kingdom rules. We need a self to survive. The old man is to die and the new man in Christ is to serve Him. Loving our...

    It is the old man who is crucifed with Christ. Self is to be denied. They are not the same. You are the Buddhist. We are commanded to love self and others likewise.

    This is what I have been arguing against here - the idea which quite a few held that 'self' is to be put to death. That is Buddhism and I do not teach it.

    Here is the scriptural evidence for Theosis/entire sanctification. Thess 5:23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

    I already said that it is progressive as well as instant. You are misrepresenting me therefore Johann.

    I am not Eastern Orthodox and will never be. I think they are very important because of the doctrines the early church did not teach like a great deal of Protestantism. God will judge us on whether we support these departures from the faith. The spirituality they taught via Theosis which is...

    CONTENDING THE SILENCE OF HEAVEN: A STUDY ON JOB. INTRODUCTION. Many identify with Job because they see themselves or others as victims, expressing their disappointment towards a silent God, for failing to step in to prevent their suffering, due to not understanding that Job's contention was...

    Well we only have to look to Paul who said that he could do all things through Christ who strengthens him. That is the energies of God.

    So I wonder why most Christians you ask will say that they fail. They have been told they have it already, yet repeatedly fail. This was my testimony till I learnt that something more was required, that is a much deeper submission to Him.

    The Early Church Teaching of Deification. Referring to Jules Gross’ seminal work: La divinization du chrétien d’après les pères grecs , the eminent modern scholar of historical theology, Jaroslav Pelikan says, “Yet salvation was not merely vivification, but deification. This doctrine for...

    @Lizbeth There is nothing wrong with the term Theosis. No it is not in the Bible but neither is Trinity. The concept is sound though and just means the joining or union of man with Christ which is what we believe in. The Bible talks about partaking in the divine nature and this is just what it...
