Of course - everything must be verified in scripture. So long as we are in the same spiritual state as those who wrote it. Then we are qualified to interpret it. In the very early church, only those who had reached the state of being united with Christ and walking in the Spirit, in complete...

Also, it is not just believing in a doctrine, for those who have truly lived it. It is like saying to someone who claims they have been born again (a bit premature) after a first encounter with Christ that it did not happen. It has becomne their life.

Of course they won't, even Paul at one point was not sure if he was speaking his own understanding or not. We always will be learning but it is at levels, and once the Holy Spirit has convicted us that positional holiness is error, we can never return from that. It must be in spirit and in truth...

I agree that we need to train ourselves to listen to the Holy Spirit and give ourselves completely in obeying Him and leading us on the paths of righteousness, but I have personally been helped a lot by these writers like, St John of the Cross, Watchman Nee, General Booth (SA), Oswald Chambers...

I have previously read these views on Guyon and agree that she went a little to far on some things, but her basis was correct - we are enabled through Christ to be fully united with Him and share in His divine energies making us perfect. It is a mistake to get bound up in the details without...

Madame Guyon is a good example of an already believer who came to a crisis point in her journey with Christ, that is spoken of by others throughout church history. You can read it in some early church writers, for example St Maximus the Confessor, who I think is the clearest, then some, easier...

I think he means simple not complicated.

Hi Nancy as the book I mentioned says, it does not always show up in bloods as what gets into the cells is the important thing and B12 transport and absorption are complicated. It is common for people to find that taking the activated B12 - methylcobalamin in shots or oils, not the hydroxy oral...

@My Dreams It could very well be vitamin B12 deficiency that does not show up in bloods. His symptoms are found with that. There is a book called 'Could it be B12' for education.

Rib eye my favourite!

Sister dear @TLHKAJ, do you eat a lot of tuna? Pleased you are recovering.

We are on the same page and I like those things too! But not the possibility of homesteading unfortunately else I would be doing that as well. I home educated two of my kids too. My interest in natural living came from my poisoning with mercury as an infant and the ill health from it, and I...

Very good thank you. I love the late Fr Romanides. "Basil the Great, attributes the change in attitude to humanity rather than to God (Migne, 1857-1866b)." I have pondered on this a few times, in that, it is not God who is angry with sinners (with sin yes) but it is man who is angry.....with...

@Pavel Mosko THE PATH TO SALVATION, A manual of Spiritual Transformation by St Theofan the Recluse. St. Theofan says: "Thus begins the warfare of the parents with the sin that dwells within the child". Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your...

Reformation doctrines came directly from Augustine of Hippo who departed from early church teachings and has been or is classed as a heretic by many EO.

I don't use scripture like Protestants, but as the early church, I believe that scripture will not contradict the teaching direct to the church via those who were/are united with Christ, apostles and their followers, which was expected of all bishops until there were not enough to continue with...

Thankyou very much for the links you provided and your own testimony. Mine was very much on that line, coming from nearly 50 years of Evangelicalism, some of it as a Calvinist, and slowly seeing that it did not match the early church in its doctrines. I had read a lot on entire sanctification...

Fair enough, though I think we have a lot to learn from him about the spiritual pathway back to the garden of Eden, entering through the fiery swords which the angel guards with, in order to be united with our Saviour and be given the position that Adam did not achieve. Indeed. Psychologists...

I believe that God created Adam to choose to be united with Him in perfect obedience, but that it required a test before that could happen, as willingness was vital, as love cannot be forced. So He created him innocent, without sin, and so therefore he could communicate with God but was not in...
