    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    The cross is not about forgiveness. Forgiveness is covered by "you reap as you sow." Jesus taught us to pray..."forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" Then there is the parable of the unforgiving servant who was forgiven his great debt but then was no longer...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    You think you can claim the blood atonement for yourself...as if God rewards self-seekers. But you are way off and ignorant of how God thinks. The blood atonement is for the whole world. The resurrection life is for those who enter into Christ...His saints. He was raised for "our"...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Interesting accusation as it applies to you perfectly. You need to be crucified in the part of you that attacks me for speaking the truth. Go to the cross and be saved. Let go of your religious delusions and know God for real.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    OK you are very simple and mechanical in your way of thinking. Your scheme is wrong. Following Pauline instead of Christ is wrong. You don't understand why Jesus came to earth. God can forgive people from heaven as He has always done. And Jesus forgave many BEFORE He was crucified. You have to...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    For those who have little or no faith, I will try to make things as simple as possible. Jesus is God with His Father. One Spirit in 2 Persons. The Father is greater than the Son...a smaller portion of a greater whole. God is holy. We can only approach to the Father through the Son. As such...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    I hadn't noticed this...since I have many fluff providers here on ignore. Those who troll my threads for no reason but to justify their egos...I don't respond to mostly...unless their folly is such that it needs responding to. Regarding the Pope and his statement about all religions leading to...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    This perfectly describes your own rantings...all canal...on the spectrum, having no life or understanding but a religious loop based on an indoctrination into vanity.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Very religious and an improper understanding....not knowing God and His ways. I have not seen anyone here understand the difference between an inheritance...through death... and a resurrection power through the gift of an eternal kind of life right now for victory over sin! There is NO...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    People without experience of God will come up with various dictionary explanations...all vanity. Holiness is living in the presence and power of God. It just so happens that the result is a sinless walk in the Spirit.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Holiness begins by an event...only. There is no such thing as a partial holiness. This is to confuse the purity of holiness with a maturity in character. We can be half mature (immature) but never half-holy. Anybody with any sense of holiness will see that. The only people that have been...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    People who try to figure out God's ways will fail. One has to know Him and not His ways...since His ways are past finding out. There are major themes and patterns, but the specifics will vary as He doesn't do the same thing twice the same way. It's very petty to make a theology about what God...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Yes, I read some of his many books many years ago. I remember them encouraging me in the face of a modern church that didn't have any understanding of spiritual things at all...going exactly the opposite way to what is sound and wise and pleasing to God.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    That would be all things in the eyes of God....not in our imagination. ;)

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    You are not understanding the experience. It's one thing to experience something and quite another to get the context right. I too have walked in Zion in the light. I remained the second time for over 2 years. So I know the eternal peace and rest of God. But I fell from that place...I was not in...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    God's "enegies" is His Holy Spirit. There is no other energy from God that affects us. You are merely repeating a "factory setting" that somehow is supposed to explain away something that is not found in the bible. You are not understanding the doctrine of theosis as it is taught. Deification...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Can humans be deified? Can we become gods? Or, is the Christian walk about being perfected into Christ in His humanity?

    Harmful Doctrines Part 2

    LOL. Lizbeth calleth things as though they were. Those who have any natural discernment can see that. ;)

    Harmful Doctrines Part 2

    The simplistic truth is transcended by grasping the truth by the Spirit. Otherwise a religion is created based on word patterns that has no power. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

    Harmful Doctrines Part 2

    Your rationalistic bent has caused you to assume yourself into the text....but you are not understanding the depth of the verse. You are reading it logically according to your own understanding and experience. This verse is not a name it claim it verse for human beliefs. One needs the faith OF...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    I never posted this before because of the forum rules, but here is a deeper take on the subject.
