    Heresy or error?

    What you are saying is that we are not like God! I agree, but is not becoming more like God to be a goal for us? For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my...

    Heresy or error?

    Must it always be me against you instead of very simply all of those who love Him striving to encounter together and for one another whatever He has for us? I have too many shortcomings in my walk and gaps in my understandings to be putting anyone else down. I am still asking and seeking...

    Heresy or error?

    I guess I had that coming. I hit you with the AT and you hit me with a word I have to look up to know what you are talking about: (the following in the 1st definition that came up when I input the word here) epignosis means "mature knowledge," but adds that it "can hardly be given in English...

    Heresy or error?

    No... but I have always been slow to listen to many clips because there are so many. I may get to them later, but I do have other priorities especially in my own Bibles and time spent with God. Hopefully then always as He leads me, I always need to follow.

    Prayer for Amadeus

    Well yesterday I took the first of four Chemotherapy treatments. Other than being still extremely tired, I am doing well. None of the long list of potential side effects has struck me so far. Give God the glory and please continue talking to Him about me.

    Heresy or error?

    Testing you? Who am I test anyone unless the Holy Spirit led me to do so? Sometimes God gives me questions to ask, not because what I believe is correct, but because he is teaching me as well. Maybe His intention is to also teach you or others reading these posts...?

    Heresy or error?

    Ever remember me talking about the A.T.'s [Absolute Truth] first mentioned on this forum, I believe by our friend @bbyrd009 ? God knows the AT about everything, would you not agree? Do you suppose that if you study the Bible long enough and hard enough you could get there... to knowing all the...

    Heresy or error?

    The answers are certainly in the Word of God, which may be heard when God provides us with the interpretation which He often will do through me. What Jesus said was heard and understood clearly by some others had not a clue as to what he was saying. How does one hear the Word of God without the...

    Heresy or error?

    Take it easy my friend. I am not young nor as fast as I once was, which was always slow, especially when I did not know God. Yesterday was my first all-day session in Chemotherapy and my body is just trying to come back a little. I only skimmed your above post because it was lengthy and I am...

    Heresy or error?

    Very simply off the top of my head, sanctification might be called a process of becoming holy, of being set apart by God. Is it not the growth process as per the John 3:30 verse quoted already? I already said I did not know the answer to the first question. Let us remember what Heb 11:11 says...

    Heresy or error?

    Just simple conversation. Is God not our Father? Are we not brothers? Must every dialogue be also an argument or controversy?

    Heresy or error?

    I am not, and I know of no one who is. In the ultimate sense no one, I believe, can be, which is why there is always room to grow close to Him. At the end of our race, how close to Him or how much like Him will we be? Of course, not knowing all of God's answers, how much is missing or incorrect...

    Heresy or error?

    I do believe that the negative faith held by many bearing the label of Christian is their problem. Had Paul attained that sinless perfection himself when he wrote those words I Time 4:7-8 I quote above? I do not know that answer, but not knowing I will not respond with a negative faith so as to...

    Heresy or error?

    If we may accept Paul's written words as truth he reach the end of his race before he wrote it down. Was that being equal to God was simply as high as he was going to go for the time allotted to him? I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith Henceforth...

    Heresy or error?

    Our goal should be to become more like Him as we continue to grow. Too many people reach a plateau and believe they can stop now on that plateau proceeding no further... just waiting for God to provide their final reward. This is I believe wrong if there is a place God higher than we are and...

    Heresy or error?

    For me... and I believe it should be for all of us.... growing is the thing: He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 How long must this increasing and decreasing continue? How much time do we have? How high up must we or should we increase? How high is God? How much like Him can...

    Prayer for brother, friend...

    Can we pray too much for too many people in need? I really doubt that. Let us all pray for all of those we know and see hear about. Our God is able? Are we? We are able call on Him: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Just ask...
