Interesting, because when you are walking in the blessing, you cannot imagine life not doing so. But outside of it, you cannot imagine life doing so. Having a pure heart can include all of those things yes. And more. The thing is that through the power of God that is within you, you are led...

If we look at verses 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 in 1 John 1: 6, If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness we lie and do not the truth. 7, But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from ALL sin...

The early church were very much aware that folk would connect their teachings to ancient eastern people which is why they were so thorough in their explanations of this not being the case.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is DEATH Me. Well previously. As of late the Lord has decided to remove me from that blessings for His own purposes. Water baptism was administered at the same time as Spirit baptism. It was deification that saves. "For the Greek patristic tradition...

@GodsGrace I am not prepared to debate with anyone who has at least done a bit of homework, which you have clearly not done when you say such as the following: There is no-one that I have heard of that says that once we come to Christ for forgiveness, we will not sin again. That is a gross...

Also, there is a distinction between the image of God and the likeness, which we attain through His grace when we are transformed though we never become God and never lose our humanity.

Yes absolutely. I think the problem is that you are just unused to hearing it, a common problem amongst westerners who do not understand the distinction between God's energies and His essence. We never share in His essence. We are in the realm of explaining the mysteries.

I am finding that my efforts have not helped a great deal because of some healing to the brain done by trauma, which the Lord has chosen to conceal the full extent of till now by His wisdom. In doing the things advised I see a huge change already.

Agreed, and the rot had really set in during the first century. I am not interested in anything other than how to please God as He has shown in the NT as far as sanctification is concerned. I am not the least interested in how man, in any part of the church has interpreted things.

We have to take into account, scholastic distinctions, which are apologetic in function, and as far as union with God, the terms are used to show, in opposition to other parts of the church, that this union available to all, there is no hierarchy as in Catholicism and Protestantism, (no second...

Agreed. Ha! It's hard to find one but I did. It is okay. I have done every diet there is. The macrobiotic helped the most but brown rice has arsenic in it now. I eat red meat but about twice a week and have done the carnivore but my thyroid was not happy. I have read up on vitamin a toxicity...

I say he was a man who was a follower of Christ but had not yet come to the point whereby he could be free from flesh and walk in the Spirit. If you are talking about 1John, I can go over that with you. But yes, she is saying sinless! Agreed ! Wesley said that it is possible to be entirely...

In this sense, Orthodoxy believes that human life reaches its fulfillment only when it becomes divine. This is the goal of man, to be united with God and the man is not as he was meant to be without it. Divine is not having God's attributes, but being deified or holy as He is holy as we are...

Thanks same back. I don't see it this way. If you cook from scratch, there are plenty of cheap ingredients like lentils and farmers markets where you can get cheap fresh produce. Many say they cannot afford to eat quality foods yet spend plenty on other things as they have their priorities...

I did not say He does not heal today. I said it is not as common as in the past. If you say He heals as much you are looking at satanic healing which is what is seen in charismania. I am Spirit baptised yes and have followed Christ for 50 years.

@GodsGrace Thank you for that very thoughtful and thorough reply which I will get onto in the morning.

Sorry I did not put that correctly. I am 74. :Ohz Yes agreed many have no choice but when we have and do not take advantage of it for our health, that is sinful behaviour in my mind. The flesh is also the natural for example our God given instincts. But of course we die when we die, but if...

I have not actually and think you are fooling yourself.

Thanks. Don't worry, the avenue I am researching has plenty of evidence based science behind it. The aim is first of all to get the nervous system quietened down as it has been on high alert since childhood. As for allopathic doctors, I stay well away from them. My system is too sensitive for...
