Whoever/moonbeam, (No problema, moonbeam.) Truly, after 3+ years on 12+ Christian forums, I often sum up the experience to newbies as: this (Christian forums) is a wonderful way to exercise and test the Fruits of the Spirit, whether the "measure" or fullness of them. 1 Cor. 13:4-7 defines...

Ah, okay, so you are one of John's "children." Good. Let's go that way, then. Someone on another channel where this thread is also posted, offered the promise of John 5:13 as assurrance of eternal Life, John referring in it to "things." I asked what these "things" are? They obviously were listed...

Phil. 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are...

I read many threads on this channel of people struggling, them not realizing that they were never taught by the church what God intended a very basic and broadly applied instruction necessary for someone to exist in the Kingdom. The following was posted by me on another channel, in response to...

So it is: Verse 6. Also included: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (v. 8). Since God will judge each and all of us for "every idol word," can we carry that over to Him and His Holy Word, then, and conclude that in order for v. 8 to mean anything of value, that the...

Whoever, Many personal testimonies of those who have instantaneously received the fullness of God's Love subsequent to the New Birth, can be read on "The Wesleyan Heritage Library CD" (Ages Software). One copy that I Know of which is posted for free on-line viewing, is at www.EnterHisRest.org...

Whoever, Truly, truly, while the term "entire sanctification" is used to identify a truly glorious and absolutely needed experience, it is a misnomer nonetheless; many receiving it then turning it into an idol of the heart and worshipping "their" Gift (being the forgetful man of James...

PtL! 2Cor. 9:12

Whoever, "Entire sanctification" is not sinless perfection. The only perfectly sinless one was Christ Jesus. In entire sanctification, the person has instantaneously received the fullness of God's Love subsequent to the New Birth. It is the Love that is perfect, not the person themselves...

Copied and pasted from another channel, where I wrote it in response to someone asking how they can know what idol of their heart was causing a particular problem in their life: You do not need to know---not for now. What IS important is that you are so very, very sick and tired of whatever...

EVERYONE, While this thread inquired about masturbation, the root of which is sexual lust of the heart, the following was posted by me on another channel in regards to some other heart idols, but seeing as how I used lust as an example in it, and seeing as how it applies to ALL of you, and for...

You do not need to know---not for now. What IS important is that you are so very, very sick and tired of whatever destruction in your life the idol is causing, that once delivered you will then be diligent enough to not allow the idol to return. For example, many, many Christians are bound...

On another channel today, mesue offered up the assurance of 1 John 5:13: "These things I have written to you who believe in the Name of the son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal Life." This confirmed what I stated before, that John's Epistle contained litmus tests, as John...

Dunno what you mean, mesue. You stated that you knew you would inherit eternal Life (at least that's what I inferred from your statement about you knowing you are going to Heaven), and then immediately followed your stated belief by quoting 1Jn.5:13, where John says "these things" were written...

Greetings, moonbeam. Thanks for reading and considering the thread. I did not post questions to answer them myself. I would like to hear from some others now. Thanks for your Christ-like cooperation, jim

Sorry, I misquoted Menno. In actuality, he stated: "From 4:12 '...If we love one another, God dwells in us and His love has been perfected in us.'" bj

Whoever, In yet another attempt to get the thread back on track, then: The Bible repeatedly warns of false brethren. If you believe as I do, that such do not come dressed in red suits with horns and pitchforks; if you believe that such do not pray to satan each night but to God in Jesus'...

People, people, people... Kindly stick to the topic of the thread. The thread is NOT about OSAS vs. Cond. Sec. The thread is NOT about Grace vs. works. I will repost again the topic of the thread. If you cannot exert enough self control to stay within the topic of the thread, then please do...
