I might add, I was right in the middle of similar foolishness for five years. These 16th century people not only promoted quietism but it led to them to finding ways to sacrifice to come to know the devine But what hides behind it is a destructive spirit that promotes asceticism. From the book...

When we deal with religious views its a spiritual matter that holds us captive. My goal is not to change you; its enough for you to want to change when in the presence of Jesus. But I must say that those that strive to know God even as they are known by Him; are motivated to throw off their old...

My work is all based on something Paul the Apostle once said; He preached Christ and Him crucified. It remains the way in which I first challenge my own religious beliefs in order to see clearly enough to notice my brothers.

There are principles in Christ we should never leave. To do so leaves us subject to other masters that come in the form of new ideas and doctrine. Hence men, organizations and a demonic realm gain a say in our lives and we preach their gospel. Yet Jesus is sufficient and principles in salvation...

I'm reading your inserts as if they remain a contract that can be deciphered and it tells me the nature of your practice. It appears that Jesus does not need to be sought as Savior as the only way to the Father, because god is within all of us? Your language is replete with the word "mystical"...

With Respect I say that the history of mankind is replete with spiritual support. When Adam and Eve partook of the fruit they were coxed into taking it by the serpent/the Devil/the dragon. This invited all mans attempts at dominion to now be supported by the presence of other powers which...

Out from the Shadow of Other Gods Every Christian is desperate for a true relationship and life changing experience with God, but our most prevalent model of success and failure has been religion. The things that have been taught us have had more to do with man’s search for a god, rather than...

A reference to the books or to the Bibles mention?

Hi Jonathan, I've spent some time in the past following the catholic mystics and found reason to reevaluate their purpose in my life. The basis of the mystics is one of looking for Jesus within our flesh. In this manner we experience an spiritual empowerment or a spiritual suppression of our...

No it can't be symbolic since we see them in chapter 14 so there are three groups of believers in the trib. · Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. · Revelation...
