You are speaking of the Sabbath I presume. We are not to let anyone judge us on any of the Sabbaths, nor New Moons or feasts. Because the substance lies with Jesus. But if you want to keep it even though it was bound to the Old Covenant, and never the New Covenant, go right ahead. It was the...

What makes you think that the Spirit was not still leading them? No where does it say that the Galatians were indulging in the sins of the flesh, only that they were being enticed to follow the Mosaic laws of circumcision and holy days. Paul just gave a complete teaching. Those that indulge in...

No, they did so have the Spirit. But they were being convinced by Judaizers to add to the Spirit, the law. Paul was telling them they didn't have to add to the Spirit, that doing so would be falling from grace.

Except 1 John 3:9 is not practice, but commit. This is why we MUST be born again, and not still carry the old sinful flesh you are talking about. We MUST be born of the Spirit through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Only then do we no longer battle the sinful flesh. We can still choose, but we...

I like Acts 4:33 that equates grace with power. To see that correlation you would have to know something about Hebrew writing styles. In this case, "great power"/"great grace" called "doubling" or "parallelism." Thus grace is the power of God in you to be righteous. (Not by our own strength or...

Thank you. So then you believe nothing more happens than going from total depravity to partial depravity? God is holy. How can we be saved if there is any sin left. Without holiness, no man shall see God, Hebrews 12:14. 1 John 3:5 "Jesus was manifest to TAKE AWAY our sin, and in Him there is...

So I discern you also believe in the "T" of T.U.L.I.P? So, seeing as we are friends, I'll ask you a question about "T" that no one has answered for me yet. Do Calvinists believe the total depravity remains even after they accept Jesus?

What does grace mean to you? Maybe that definition is what has you on this particular path. We also disagree that faith is only a fruit of the Spirit, so you must first have the Spirit to have faith. It's also a gift from the Father. The Ten Commandments were to show us our sin, to bring us to...

At first I thought you were, but then I questioned that one statement, so I narrowed your post to just that question to verify. :) You know what they say about assuming...

Yes, New Agers are experiencing counterfeits of the devil. And I always though ALL astral projection was from Satan. But have you not seen the many testimonies in the last couple decades of Christians traveling in the spirit? Look up on youtube Sid Roth Joshua Mills China and let me know what...

I'm sorry you went through that time with your dad. It makes sense that you would see it as dissociation. And it is gone now that you are better. That being said, seeing as you were on the ceiling like a near death experience leads me to think it was real - that for some reason your spirit left...

I'm glad you let God be God, but not sure by your clarification. Are you calling Christians who are caught up to heaven, whether in vision or spirit traveling, not of God? Or just occult astral projection?

Was it a reality that you were on the ceiling, or just imagination? That is the difference.

Pretending and imagination is not what we are talking about here.

The only way she could have suffered dissociation at that age would be from severe abuse.

From her account from childhood, I can't see what she experienced as dissociation.

Personally, I don't think they are similar at all. Dissociation is a detachment from reality, whereas astral projection and spirit traveling are real, not from a deranged or injured mind.

I agree.

I'm just pointing out your use of having a "civil ceremony." What do you think about today, people who are in a committed relationship and have children, who never had any ceremony, but the world sees them as married? Are they married in God's eyes?

I spoke about this on the other thread. There is a real ability from God, and there is a demonic ability because Satan has counterfeited the real. You might want to go back and read what I wrote. A woman from Sweden disagrees with me, claiming to have discernment of spirits, but she has a...
