ADHD is believed by some, to be a result of childhood trauma - cPTSD and is best treated as a neurological problem involving the brain not the mind.

Sin is of the flesh, the part that is against the law of God. Human desires are valid. Like those that Adam and Eve had till they departed from the law.

It speaks of human desires, the ones God gave us, not the sinful ones. Like the desire to love and be loved, the desire to eat and drink, all of the things that make us human. These must be sacrificed in obedience to God. Like when Christ was tempted to eat. It is not a sin to eat but the...

"Man has various appetites, passions, desires, resting on present gratification, and on outward objects; some of which we possess in common with inferior animals, such as sensual appetites and anger; and others belong more to the mind, such as love of power, love of honour, love of property...

Yes the old man or flesh must be put to death/crucified. This is our old life before we are in Christ. The new man is the new life. Nothing to do with our 'self'. Our self must be denied. It is that awareness of our inner being which follows after who is sitting on the throne of our hearts.

We are talking about dead self or denied self. Scriptures for dead?

Rotten fruit? Or dead fruit?

Augustine thought he knew it all, whose theology Calvin copied. He changed it from free will, which all of the ECF taught and brought in the doctrine of the pagans - determinism. Or predestination to you.

True

Many Bible readers twist the scriptures.

Once again, confusing the old man with 'self'. If anyone cares at all about scripture really says, and not what they just think it says: it says nowhere that self is to be put to death, but that self is to be denied. Death to self is from the far eastern religions. As this new idea is sweeping...

Why do we need to control something that we have put to death?

“truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:5-6) I think we are not getting the right meaning of this text by...

I believed this for many years - well 17 in total after coming to the Lord in prayer one evening at 9 pm on Sept 23rd 1973. I had been brought up an atheist and all of my extended family were atheists as far as I knew - religion was never mentioned. One of my grandfathers came from Northern...

2 Cor 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 6 I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. Please explain how we can examine...

I am mainly talking about doctrine for example, the Trinity, too hard for the mind to understand, but confirmed by the Spirit to our spirits that it is the truth. So if what we hear is the truth or not and which we will find in scripture.

@Ritajanice I was not talking about blessed assurance but of all of the truth which He reveals and which we are to confirm by scripture.

Thanks @APAK. My problem with epi is that I want to know where he gets his nouveaux idea on the righteousness of the unsaved from and he refuses to answer which puts an end to discussion. I want to know which other(s) enlightened saints were given the same revelation, as God, does not give to...
