    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Are you saying that anything beyond your understanding has to be false??? Making you the final arbiter of truth??? It would seem that you are guilty of the very thing that you accuse Epikopos of doing.

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    We will have to agree to disagree... This is YOUR opinion, based on YOUR discernment?? Please point out specifically any ONE of his teachings, pick one, and PROVE (show me) where it does not line up with scripture.

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    You need to agree with your heart, not in principle. I agree, we need to test ALL things. Saul, (before being renamed Paul) with all his training in the scriptures persecuted God's disciples, yet he claimed to be doing it for God. Was he deceived?? How are you so sure that you are not the...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Jer 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with  all your  heart." If you, @bdavidc , @amigo de christo , @Lizbeth , would seek God at least as much as you persecuted Epikopos, you may actually find what Epikopos found. You are putting your efforts in the wrong...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Question: Have you ACTUALLY read 2 Corinthians chapter 4, ALL of it?? Here's the first few verses: You said truth isn't hidden. I can't and don't agree. Jesus said He was the Truth (and the Way and the Life). Since the Truth needs to be revealed to us, it is hidden until it is revealed...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    ...to answer a fool, or not to answer a fool... Your previous post to me, similar to this one, I let slide. God sees you. You are accountable to Him for what you do and say. That should bring a fear, but you have no fear of God. Thus, the lack of wisdom. I have witnessed your misquotings...

    She doesn't. This is her autobiography, her story, her journey into holiness. She doesn't use that terminology.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    @ProDeo This book is about Madame Guyon's journey of becoming a saint. It's with much tribulation that we enter the kingdom of God. There are very, very many layers of "self" or "ego" that the Lord deals with, and very many surrenderings that one must consent to to be able to continue on this...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I'll give you a hint, ProDeo. Look in the concordance at the Greek word G1519 "eis" pronounced "ice", and compare how they translate it. The Bible translates the Bible. With this information, look again at the verses Epi gave you.

    I don't think on anything you say, because of statements you say like this: That's just one example. That's where I stopped reading that particular post.

    @Lizbeth I suggest you read a book, an autobiography. "Autobiography of Madame Jeanne Guyon" I really think you could benefit from her life experience.

    You may not have "meant that" but you did say it... in post #55 when you said, "I was once like you," and then proceeded to explain what you experienced. By saying "I was once like you," you are assuming that Epi's experience is like yours.
