My point is full victory over sin and walking in holiness IS OVERCOMING AND WALKING AS CHRIST DID, in holiness over sin. Rev 2:10 is a message to the church of Smyrna, but you forgot verse 11 which says: 11¶He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that...

This would be the same DEATH that we are escaping when we call on the the name of the Lord in Romans 10! 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Wisdom would then have us: (2 Peter 1:10) "... give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these...

I understood why he said this. You didn't? It was bdavidc who keeps asking (insisting) for scriptural references. You'd think on a Christian site that people would know their bibles so that you wouldn't need the references, but that is not always the case. And, sometimes, a new perspective is...

No, I'll have to get it!! Thanks! I just ordered and received her "Final Steps in Christian Maturity", and "Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ". I read her Autobiography five times over, it helped me so much!! Right now I'm reading St. Francis de Sales, in "An Introduction to a Devout Life"...

Ps 19:7-10 7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment (mitsvah) of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for...

Like I said, you have other motives. He stated what he believes, but you are NOT interested...then why are you on this thread??

I may be slow, but I learned from your example! Much love!

He did!! But you chose not to comment on what he believes...you have other motives.

Well, I looked up the verse you posted and the man that was once blind, encountered Jesus and received sight, and was kicked out of the synagogue by the Pharisees because of his testimony  of what just happened to him. That's a great analogy!! Can YOU see it?? Perhaps, you need an encounter...

Yes!! And it was a BLIND man who was HEALED, as in he COULD SEE. And the Pharisees kick him out of the temple (in this case want him banned). It's a great analogy, thanks @marks !!

So you want to cast Epi out from among the Pharisees as in the context of the verse you stated??

Good morning!! Oh, well I keep a garden, so when there are dead "branches" (in this case), it seems logical that they get removed from the garden/vineyard. If the branch doesn't value life in the vineyard, or doesn't understand that perhaps it should humble itself and make it's way to be among...

Hebrews 10:39 "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." If you are/were a branch, you are/were abiding in Him. If you pull away, after having abided, you will wither and eventually die. Then, I understand that it's just about...

I agree! JOHN 15:1-10 "1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4...

I can't believe that you hold the monoply on that, for I too, am guilty of betraying our Lord.

@Hepzibah "And forgive us OUR trespasses AS WE FORGIVE those who trespass against us." We ALL each have our "training" time before God. David was a king and had MORE responsibilities than most. The way I look at this is: (John 8:7) "...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a...

...and David didn't???

Men of God....VERY rare in our day and age. Women have there own idea of what a man of God ought to be...but would women even recognize a true man of God...a man that God trained? I am sure it wouldn't be like the woman's idea or desire because the man would NOT bow to her desires, he would bow...

Huh.... I've raised children, and before that I babysat many, many children and babysat many more after raising my own. When a child throws a tantrum, you MUST ignore them since they are caught up in their overwhelming feelings and thus, unreasonable. They have absolutely no capacity to be...

@amigo de christo I didn't see a reply to this post. I bolded what you should read. Explain the discrepancy between your message and Episkopos'. Have YOU EVER listened, really listened to ANY of Episkopos' podcasts? That's what the discussion on these threads are suppose to be about...as in...
