You said no suprise . augustine brought SOME of the heretical teachings he had learned with him
into his conversion . THAT my friend is bad news .

Of course it's bad news.
And the RCC accepted what he taught and then managed to explain his ideas in a different way to try to get out of unscriptural teachings.
But until recently, Catholics STILL were baptizing their babies because they believed that they'd otherwise go to hell.
So Augustine did a lot of damage to the church.
Also, I do want to say that by his time, the early church had begun to depart from the teachings of the early fathers....
those that were taught by the Apostles.

But no marvel , i see a new age christaintiy with ties to the harlot of the RCC and its ties to the pagan
it has pleased to win them , ALL OVER OUR CHRUCHES NOW .
THEY PANDER TO PLEASE , they pander to WIN false converts . I SIAD FALSE
cause GOD dont blend the pagan with the HOLY .

I agree.
God cannot live with sin and the breaking of the first 3 commandments which are devoted to Him.

but todays love fest
sure seems to blend the table of belial and all false relgioins , even sins , with the table of CHRIST
or vice versa . YOU cant mix the unholy with the holy . EITHER YOU preach n teach TRUTH , JESUS THE CHRIST
or you teach a lie . but it CANNOT BE BOTH . one cannot preach a love of the world
and try and turn it into the love they cliam is of GOD . BUt todays christendom sure seems to think it can .
PHEW WEE , on the day of the LORD they gonna find out , BIG MISTAKE .
TIME to bible up and learn THAT version of GOD , THAT VERSION of CHRIST
that version of said apostels doctrine . cause we got many trying to pin the tail of the donkey
onto a hippo . Aint gonna work out
Right.

Johann many wont listen . rather they merge to be as one .
And many are not listening to the warning either of what is to come against the true lambs .
WE ARE ABOUT TO FACE PERSECUTION we ourselves have never faced before .
OTHERS have . THEY ARE GONNA BETRAY US my friend and they gonna do so under the belief
they themselves serve the love god and we serve darkness . THEY gonna BELIEVE THEY DO GODS WILL my friend .
WHEN folks like us are even put to death . THIS IS NOT NEW , ITS BEEN DONE THROUGHOUT THE AGES
but this time IT WILL BE A UNFIED WORLD and religoin . EVERY lamb will be hunted .
Not all will be killed , BUT A WHOLE LOT WILL johann . ITS COMING , ITS COMING FOR EVEN THE WESTERN Socities .
America is not the great beacon of hope that loveth GOD , ITS VERY LEADERS as well
as other leaders in the world are SERVING ANOTHER . THEY MIGHT USE GOD , HIS NAME
BUT ITS NOT HIM THEY SERVE nor do much of christendom either .
AND the one they do serve , THAT ONE is a lamb killing machine and it will convince them TO RID THE EARTH
of all who conformed not to the lie it calleth love .
Agree-the Bible belt is no more-everyone out here to pontificate or philosophize and bring to the fore another gospel and Christ Jesus buried under creeds.
You stay anchored in Christ Jesus as I know you do.
Everyone that wants to live a godly life will be met with persecution.
J.

Please start your own thread for that discussion thank you.
the problem is most folks are starting all kinds of big word threads to lip and argue over stuff
AND YET MOST HAVE NO IDEA THE STRONG DELUSION IS HERE and its sucking the life out of everything that goes under it .
LEADING THIS WORLD and its religoins RIGHT TO PERDITOIN . WELL i am gonna do everything i can to warn
against that false love
and rather to point to CHRIST JESUS , the true love of GOD , that gospel and EVERY WORD WRITTEN IN THAT BIBLE .
i suggest all quickly go and do the same . STAND UPON CHRIST and stay planted in that bible
stand on the STONE
or the great river of delusoin shall sweep all away into its current that leads to total destruction at its end .

Damage might be done and it feels like there’s no going back, but online, we have the freedom to express ourselves however we choose. It's like Proverbs 18:2 says, 'A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.' And about the suggestion that I’m plagiarizing—well, you don’t really know me or what I’m doing. As 1 Corinthians 4:5 reminds us, 'Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.

Shalom Achoti-time out.

Nothing serious Amigo.
Nothing to concern yourself with.
@Johann and I agree on practically everything.
I just don't have a lot of time to post and I like my posting to be
very personal toward the other member.
That's all.
No se preocupa...

Same here, everything I post I back up with Scripture, in context-you prefer the shorter version, me the longer.
As a man I should have the last say.
Buona giornata.

How do you give the OP a like and then carry on with this OSAS nonsense?

@Hebzibah brought up an interesting subject.

Is entire/complete sanctification possible in a person's lifetime?

And the topic becomes OSAS?

Not my OP, so I'll stop here.
I think we've gotten back to theosis.

Much love!

Paul is talking about judging sin. He says that God judges sin through our consciences and is his judge. This has nothing to do with knowing if we are without sin. If our conscience is clear we have either seared it or we are blameless. We know by the intimacy we have with Christ.
I disagree on this, I think the passage is what I've described.

Our conscience may be clean because we've done nothing wrong, or becasue we are ignoring everything, seared, or, another reason, we currently are ignorant over what constitutes sin in our lives.

I know of myself I've come to realize things in my life were sinful that I hadn't thought so before. Things that were totally off my radar, that now I know are sin. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that now I know all that God considers sinful in my life. I will not be at all surprised to learn in the future things I am OK with today are actually disapproved of by God.

It's in my intimacy with Jesus that we look at such things, talk about them, He's an amazing teacher and leader and friend.

Much love!

There is no desire for sin, but the temptation is there to 'lean on our own understanding' or to slip back to trusting in the flesh which will lead to sin if we don't quickly get back on track.
This was never a thought. I truly mean, completely effortless, no temptation until it was over.

Much love!

I concede on this, you have a good point as I have been experiencing this during my recovery from cPTSD this last few months.

Indeed He is an amazing teacher leader and friend.

I think that he means alive in the Spirit - Spirit baptized and in Theosis. If indeed they have the Spirit within, then they should be showing the fruit. If the fruit is not there then they have not been baptized. It is a test for them.
I have to again still disagree.

If we live in the Spirit - condition to be met - if you are living in the Spirit, this part is for you. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. The admonition to walk in the Spirit, as thought it were not the automatic result of living in the Spirit, and that you either might or might not walk in the Spirit.

Walking in the Spirit isn't the test of whether one lives in the Spirit, rather, those who are already living in the Spirit are now admonished to walk in the Spirit.

Much love!
