cont' I am not wanting to label as I know that in any theological system there will be differences, but I find it extremely frustrating that people will not be upfront about which system they adhere to and all say 'well I just believe in the bible' which is impossible. We all see through a...

I was describing the term and how I understand it is used, not saying you are so. I know you study deeply, and I learn from you, but you still interpret according to the idea of different dispensations which I do not and consider all spiritual truth eternal from the two laws in Eden onwards...

The authority they had is the same as all those who have been ES'ed and who share in the energies of God and demonstrate His power but do not share in His essence so are unable to forgive. They can however, see straight into the heart of a man they speak to and know exactly what is in that...

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL things are become new. 2 Cor 5:17. Our heart is much more important to God than our mind: 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the...

I am still on that roller coaster one wakes up on when one realizes they were in a narcissistic family scapegoat role and lack concentration atm. Maybe I shouldn't be here. It is confusing when people hold to certain doctrines then deny they are in that system.

What I meant was, that an apostle knew if the person was truly repentant and could assure that God would forgive the sin.

God must put into us a pure heart as it is the only way we can walk without sin as I have done at times in the past.

'The analysis of Christian development into these three ‘ways’ or phases derives from Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite, who ascribed a rhythm of purification, illumination, and union (or perfection) both to the hierarchies of angels and to the Church on earth. Medieval W. interpreters of...

Sin is anything in thought word or deed that is against the commandments of God. It is not boasting to say it is all of God.

1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready, 3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not...

Paul addressed his letters to 'the church'. He rebuked them for allowing immoral people (not the church) to remain amongst them.

2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: You are misunderstanding me. Once one reaches the state whereby they do not sin, they can fall...

I don't think that way at all. Rather it signifies not taking the whole of scripture into consideration while using selected texts. I stand corrected. Thank you. I had not studied the passage myself which I usually do. look at the genre of a passage, whether it be narrative, as of Jesus going...

@marks I know, so many different views so who is right? You are wanting to have the Way pointed out for you so you can find scriptures, but walking in the Spirit means you need to start listening first. It is very simple and l think you meant something like it earlier.I Ask the Lord what He...

Glory be! How the sinful human mind will twist and distort the clear simple meaning of the text when it disagrees with their theology!

It has been a remnant who have gone on to perfection, apart from the 12 , hence the need for the teaching and admonitions.

1 John: 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This verse shows us what John is talking about ie those who say (gnostics) that their sin is not counted as sin because the flesh is not the spirit and God does not see...

1John8:If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us This verse is repeated ad nauseum by those who ignore the rest of the verses in the same letter: He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. He that loveth his brother...

I see the likeness of the journey of the children of Israel in the journey of the NT disciples before they became apostles. Yes you are right! Destroy the captors is much more suiting. I think that we can compare our own experience to the facts of scripture. If we are born again are we...
