That post was beautiful @marks! I heard a few days ago that those who have recovered from cPTSD are going to be the ones that the world is seeking for in these times. I do believe that, going by the amount of growth in emotional intelligence I have seen develop in myself just in a few weeks. I...

I'm sorry Behold but that is foolish We are not to worry about tomorrow but only a fool does not make plans using their sanctified mind. We can plan things yet be open to the Lord's leading to change them. We are not meant to operate like puppets. Anyway, if you are referring to my situation...

No I don't as you are seeing things as black v white. She could have quickly turned the subject to something else. Talking about violence is something we as Christian are told to avoid. I mean, she could have excused herself from that subject in an inoffensive way by saying she did not like the...

Of course we are to bring the gospel to those who we meet, but that does not have to include encouraging their ungodly practices. We meet a murderer and listen to how he kills his victims?

@marks is this it? As part of my recovery from childhood trauma, I have come across a coach called The Crappy Childhood Fairy, and she does courses on looking for a partner which I may get myself as she seems pretty wise about romantic relationships. I have decided that I will look for a...

That what I have found. Things coming up from the past can be very disturbing and part of the healing is being dysregulated whilst working though it.

So you enjoyed spending time encouraging a man who gains financially by entering a ring and beating another man up, causing at least brain damage, in one of the most violent of sports. Lady you really are mixed up.

Agree not always and these days not much.

Johann, I don't see how your citations go against the sign miracles in the early years. The healings that we read about are no more - healing from a handkerchief or from a shadow. They were for a sign to the unbelieving Jews but although the sign gifts period has gone, God has continued to heal...

"These are the states of beginners, the state of progress, and the state of the perfect. the Pseudo-Dionysius into the "purgative way", the "illuminative way", and the "unitive way". These consolations are often withdrawn, and a state of desolation ensues, and then the passive purification of...

@Johann "They have indeed contrived the fiction, that it is a sacrament by which the spirit of regeneration is conferred, a dogma by which they have mutilated baptism for what was peculiar to it, they transferred to the imposition of hands. Let us then know, that it was instituted by its first...

I won't bite. Blessings to you.

Why did God give us brains then? I fear for you regarding the place you are in. Hoping for the Light to dawn for you sister.

I have know times when I had His faith, as well as my own. I am not sure of the position I am in at present because of the circumstances I am going through in regards to some very deep healing. Thanks.

Sister, I obey the Holy Spirit's leadings and do not have them in this instance. I suggest you do your own homework if you wish to understand where I am now coming from. Thanks.

I am afraid that I will not comply with your request at the moment Ritajanice and be grilled as you have done to others here. I even gave you my testimony a while ago which was pretty dramatic, even so that I even remember the time of the day not just the date and year.

@Ritajanice if you are content to carry on with doctrines that were not found in the disciples of the Apostles, then please go ahead. I understand exactly where you are coming from as once I was also a Calvinist. You cannot convince me to return to my days of ignorance. I have not fallen from...

Galloway - A Study of Holiness from the Early Church Fathers - Chapter 14 Thank you for this quote Johann. The spirituality of the early church, has also been found in the RCC, from the likes of St John of the Cross, apart from one point, from most of these teachings in the west. St John of...

"John Calvin acknowledged that the custom of praying for the new converts to be filled with the Holy Ghost was derived from the apostles, and admitted that the Protestants should have something in the place of it, yet did not emphasize this in his teachings. We read this from his "Commentaries"...

The early church taught free will. From Augustine onwards we find deterministic theology had invaded the church, which the early ones had fought so much against in paganism and Greek philosophy. It was thereafter mixed in with Christianity. This the root of the rot. We must worship God as He...
