    The Inner Man

    Again, you are drawing the wrong conclusions here. We are to use a righteous judgment. God judges but is not judgmental. You are not understanding that many Christians are building upon their foundations with improper materials. You are also missing the true condition of the inner man...who...

    The Inner Man

    The natural man is to be broken in order to let the life of Jesus come out. Christians have the potential for a spiritual walk... The natural man is the normal order of things...and the source of power of immature believers who have not yet been broken by a deeper work of the cross. You are...

    The Inner Man

    I have a known a number of believers who thought that now that they have been awakened to the truth...and even operated in the spiritual gifts...that they are always walking in the Spirit. But what has changed in this condition is that they have added on a spiritual persona on top of a carnal...

    Sound Doctrine

    I can't think of one. We follow apostolic tradition as we can.

    The Inner Man

    This is very good. Israel is to the world as the inner man is to us. God is looking to enter in and grant life to us inwardly.

    The Inner Man

    Amen. The natural man carries the death of Jesus (His cross) so that the life of Jesus can penetrate to the inner man.

    The Inner Man

    If the inner man gets help from outside (God) then there is no more use for the natural man. So it is to the benefit of the natural man to keep the inner man weak and dependent...but on himself. So this is the SELF-confident, SELF-sufficient nature at work. The natural man is really connected...

    The Inner Man

    Thank you for your thoughtful response. I think it is important to get out of the downward spiral ourselves first...then we can try helping others out of theirs. :) I feel like I had to go through a number of conversions to get where I am now. Each time I thought I was done or at least on the...

    How does God lead?

    You think that the perfect is the bible? Paul is talking about the new age to come. Why would the bible supercede the bible and create a new new testament? You have invented a new undocumented testament? When was the NEW testament put out of date?

    Personal Revelation

    I am trying to reach the inner man...not the rebellious outer man. I don't pick on the outer natural man unless he tries to teach something as if the truth resided there. The inevitable result is to get the flesh into a big snit. The alternative is worse...to let the natural man dictate the...

    The Inner Man

    What is the provision to get the natural man out of the way of this pipeline of grace to the inner man? The cross of Christ. The cross of Christ breaks the husk of the outer natural man...so that the inner man is reachable to God to be filled with His grace. So then with the outer man we take...

    The Inner Man

    What are we do with the gospel message? How do we respond to the calling of God? When we respond from the outer man we get religion...institutions...and every other worldly version of the way in Christ. But this is a counterfeit of the truth. God is calling us in the inner man. Deep is...

    The Inner Man

    Jesus said to the Laodiceans...who saw themselves in no need of anything...that they were poor, naked, wretched, and blind. But that is the condition of ALL men that have not put on strength from heaven. THAT is our natural condition in the world. The truth is always like a wheel within a...

    The Inner Man

    Let us define our terms before beginning into a study on what constitutes the ceiling of the inner man to the faith OF Jesus Christ. We could see ourselves as a seed with a protective husk around it. The outer husk is the natural man, the carnal man...who so often is presented as being who we...

    Personal Revelation

    Prov. 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. God is still a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
