    Atrial Fibrillation.

    I agree about Dr Berg and think highly of him. The most important thing is to be on a toxin free diet for whatever ails us - no processed food, cooked from scratch, no seed oils, organic if possible, avoiding the 'dirty dozen'. I remember you saying @Ritajanice that you have childhood trauma...

    Yes you must do a lot of research and find advisors with your condition before taking anything. No I do not have AF. Everything else but ...lol

    Atrial Fibrillation.

    Unfortunately, the medical establishment cannot give you much dietary advice, if at all, but I have found much help amongst micro-biologists to get my system stabilized. Vitamin K is important for calcium absorption. But you have to know which one to take from those who have spent a long time...

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    Here we have Dr Beau Branson, Eastern Orthodox, who explains that the early church taught that the western understanding only developed after Augustine of Hippo brought into the church new doctrines such as the Egalitarian Trinity as opposed to the Monarchial Trinitarianism of such as Gregory...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    The temptation of Jesus was to act from His own strength when His mission was to do the will of the Father who sent Him. He could not sin and that is not sin. It is the same for those who walk as He walked - they must resist the temptation too, and see all through the eyes of the Spirit.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Those considered the pillars of the church were from the Antiocene School: Sts. Basil the Great (379 AD), Gregory of Nyssa (394 AD), Gregory of Nazianzus (374 AD) and John Chrysostom (407 AD). Then there was the Alexandrine School was founded in 312 AD. St. John Chrysostom, Sts. Clement (150...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    It is ironic that, nowhere in scripture does it say that its writings are the only authority for the church. rather it says: So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. (2 Thessalonians 2:15; RSV) To understand...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    "Aren't you doing the same? Am I expected to have a conversation with Adam Clarke instead, @Hepzibah? Do you truly believe I’m incapable of engaging you-or anyone else, for that matter-in an honest discussion?" Yes Johann, I did the same to prove my point, and you even confirmed my suspicions...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Entire sanctification is scriptural and which means being in a condition of submission to Christ whereby He saves us from sin, which the Bible tells us He came to do. I am not walking in entire sanctification before you ask.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    I will answer one thing, that is Philippians 3, from the quote by Dave Reid, in the manner it was given, by quoting someone else and not engaging in discussion, which is often your habit Johann, and which others have rightly complained about previously: "Verse 12. Not as though I had already...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Very good Lizbeth, indeed it is walking in the Spirit and once one arrives at this stage, according to all with that testimony, there is a time of instability, of once more trusting in ones own understanding, or not seeing things through spiritual eyes. This goes on for a period till...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    This is your view Johann which you are entitled to hold though many have disagreed with it. This is why it is so difficult to have a discussion with those who bring presuppositions to the table. It is indeed a progression as well as an event. It is the end of an ascent, after participation...

    Sleep apnea

    From my reading on systemic inflammation in the body, and the testimony of those who have reduced it in their bodies though a clean diet and specific supplements, sleep apnea is one of the things that ceased.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    @Johann we have touched on this previously. There has been a dispute amongst theologians on the aorist tense, whereby some, (those who defended entire sanctification) in the west during the Holiness Movement, claimed that it can be used in a completed past sense which I believe is the ECF's...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Well, I would say rather, can partake in His energies, that is, the purification of the Holy Spirit to become closer to Him to know Him more deeply. But we cannot enter into His essence which is far beyond our finite minds. Hmm not familiar with Timothy Ware, as he does not teach the patristic...

    I will get back onto this later. I need some rest.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    I have read Nee's books, and it seemed to me that he held to, what came to be known as Keswickian (a small town in England) theology. It differs somewhat to the patristic doctrine of Theosis. In Keswick theology, there are two steps, one of justification and then a 'second blessing', which also...

    It is the thread starters responsibility to keep it on topic.
