    You are much better getting your parents help in this so they will need to read the links I gave you as it is going against what most docs will say regarding the tests. Some docs might come round if they read the stuff I gave you but for a start I would email the man who makes the B12 oils and...

    I feel for you Kayla. I can't imagine what you are going through, but my sister was psychotic with schzophrenia, and it ripped me up to see her suffering. But here's the thing - she had severe B12 deficiency as well and had to have monthly injections...

    St John of the Cross

    Watching this short video, I remember now that Evan Roberts came under some dellusion that made him sacrifice his health, which is what we are not called to do. Missing sleep and care for our bodies, means we have become carried away with what is happening. He was very young and inexperienced so...

    St John of the Cross

    I would just like to add that JPL followed Keswick Theology, in which there is a 'second blessing' like the teachers from the revivals in the US. This does depart from the early church fathers teaching on the three stages: Purgation, Illumination and Union or Theosis. I believe that the...

    St John of the Cross

    I would be rather wary of accepting things that come out of a time of revival regarding those who were at the top end of it. Satans minions are very active at those times to bring down God's servants with rumours and bad reports. Of the two, I thought that Evan Roberts would be trhe one, if not...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    I never saw that before so thanks.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Their journey is an example to us to follow, just like the Israelites in the OT. I believe the 2 covenants have been there from the start, and pictured in the two trees in paradise. As God is eternal, anything He does at a point of time, applies for all time thereafter which is why we find men...

    St John of the Cross

    Oh yes agree about that.

    St John of the Cross

    I don't know the answer to that but will think about it. Oh tell me about narcissists! I have had many in my life.

    St John of the Cross

    I think the unabridged (for a reason) is hard to get. I know we cannot avoid danger but should not put ourselves in a place of it especially thinking 'God will protect me'. He will only of He has sent us there - perhaps.

    After your born again do you think you will never sin again?

    The problem is, I believe, that 'born again' is not what happens when we respond to the gospel. We have an encounter with the living Christ and our eyes are opened. But we are not a new creation yet because we still sin. Sin is the big problem and why A&E were kicked out. If we still sin, how...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    From my readings, she upset the authorities just as JOTC did and suffered for that. Her teaching was considered dangerous to the RCC. Taking away the necessity of a priest.

    St John of the Cross

    I am pleased it is helping. I should read it again as it is many years. Do you have the unabridged edition? It is preferable. I don't think we should put ourselves in danger, even though God will bring benefit out of all of our sufferings. I don't think He guides us into situations whereby we...

    St John of the Cross

    We always gain from these events eventually, as we are more clued up to the ways of the enemy. I still can barely believe what happened to me at that church, a small congregation that I had been a member of for many years. The minister tried at first to de-ECF me, after I was reading their...

    St John of the Cross

    Oh yes I remember he said that and of course, if one does not have a Director, like me, it is best to ignore them. I did run into trouble once, in staying at a Reformed church after I had read the ECF's which ruined my Protestantism, and thought that God wanted me to stay and pray for the...

    St John of the Cross

    Those walking the mystical path in the past (there are few doing it today), would have a Spiritual Director, who would also be consulting with their own SD to avoid the danger you mentioned. This was so both in the east and west until Protestantism came along with its 'you are your own pope'...

    St John of the Cross

    "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

    St John of the Cross

    If God has written His law on their hearts, they would obey it perfectly. God does things perfectly. Men do good things for various reasons, like to be popular or out of fear. It is still from the flesh and any who operate from the flesh, even good acts, are not in the Spirit and united with...

    St John of the Cross

    I would just like to add, that the early church believed that where it was, was a place for healing, not a law court. People came into the building for healing - the ultimate healing from sin. Even just hearing the words of the saints would cause an effect in the area as we saw when revivals...

    St John of the Cross

    This thread is not for arguing. The tradition is well established in all arms of the church, and frankly, to refuse to believe something that the very early chuch clearly taught and to which no-one brought about a charge of heresy, is really putting oneself on the enemy's side and in danger...
