I'm not trying to help you anymore...you see...remain as you are.

Completely illogical reasoning. But hey, you can believe as you want to. You are welcome to your own mind....as be it religious as you want it to be. And you can ignore my testimony of a different KIND of life....an alien life....the life OF Jesus Christ...that blows away all the silly human...

You are being religiously simplistic and illogical here. An arm can be broken....and a mind can be fleshly or carnal. Is every arm broken (see how simple I have to explain things to you)??? Is every mind carnal? But put on the mind of Christ.

Of course not...otherwise the mind could not be renewed to become the mind of Christ. You are missing the part of the truth that you lack...which is the greater part. And because of that you can't see what you are lacking. Your condition is very straightforward and to be expected. But you are...

You are using an oversimplified use of the text. There is no state of death for a believer...you are making an error in interpretation. A disciple of Christ is always alive before God. You need to look at what is meant by "robes of righteousness"...which is an actual biblical term. A naked...

You are missing the real playground of the devil here....the mind....especially the religious mind that is looking to get the "right" beliefs in order. We know someone is living in the futility of their minds when they go shopping to see which doctrines they agree with. How can a person be...

I'm not speaking here of a way of reasoning but of an actual visitation from God that takes us into His life. Only God can judge that standard of humility. Again, if we consider ourselves humble are we not just being as self-righteous as they who claim to be justified by their own faith?

The way to help a Christian away from demonic power and influence is through a better influence and power. It is through knowledge of the truth. The truth sets us free. So then God's people indeed perish through lack of knowledge. This fact magnifies the efforts of people who walk in the truth...

What I have found is that these specialized ministries are themselves caught up in the same error as everyone else. They seek a magic power from a magic Jesus. But their whole premise is false. It isn't based on a different kind of life. It is a religious grasping at God's healing power...but...

I see it as more insidious than even that. There is a fanaticism I have seen in many evangelicals....this obsession with their own salvation. This claiming to be righteous while they live a very common life according to the flesh....but religiously. The Pharisees were more honest than these in...

This is true. The problem is that we want God to respond on OUR terms. But God uses silence in order to quieten our spirits. God whispers to us. We want Him to be forceful....but that is not God's way. So then to actually contact God requires humility and quietness. I guess we prefer a voice...

Actually anything less than total sanctification as the goal is to frustrate the grace of God. God gives us grace so that we can fully do His will. His grace is SUFFICIENT for the task of a full sanctification.

You are inspired in this thread brother....good to see! :)

Actually that is true until we learn true humility and become mature. This is what God is looking for in us.....the full stature of Christ...which is actually being small...

Grace and effort are not synonymous. One does not work for a gift. But they do go hand in hand. It is when we are not filled with grace that the effort must come. Grace teaches us how we ought to be. But we are not always "under" grace. To think that is to be religious....and that is error...

As in...the love of God constrains us.

The reality is that the closer we walk with the Lord the less the world will pull us in. It's about influence and momentum. I know that I have to go full tilt for the Lord or I get slack. I go to my own imagination when I am not fully engaged in my heart. I have to fight back. If I get a...

Our hearts are divided into 2 parts unless we are crucified to self. What we love and esteem is in the greater part (2/3). And the part where Jesus lives is our spirits (1/3). So then there is room to entertain demons and all manner of uncleanness in the heart of the carnal believer.

Yes, a living sacrifice tends to crawl off the altar.

Not the old man.....the natural carnal man. The old man is the person you were....without the Spirit. But there is a new battle within yourself with the natural man until you go to the cross of Christ to receive the grace that crucifies all that impedes the new man which is Christ in...
