KK - we are in agreement, mostly. The scriptures clearly contain all we need. Historical writing of men overcoming sin, gaining repentance, and revivals are helpful, a 'how to overcome this and that' book is not necessary. When I say 'we do need help,' I am not implying some self help book. I am saying we do need help from above, and this help is often dispensed through the Christian community, and even at times through SOUND authors within that community. There are a number of authors that I have found helpful and insightful that have been used of God to open my eyes to various scriptural truths. E.M. Bounds, Watchman Nee, Andrew Murray, John Bunyan, Leonard Ravenhill, Deitrich Bonhoeffer, and so on have proven helpful to me. My beef is that most of the bookstores are loaded with Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyers, and others. |

'dude' where do the scripture 'condone slavery'. the scriptures clearly teach that slaves should obey their masters, and that masters should not treat their slaves harshly. that is neither commendation, nor condemnation of slavery. the word intructs individuals on being holy within the context of their station in life, be it slave or free.dude, i understand that we are fools to you, and the gospel in your eyes is flat out silly, i really do understand that. understand that when you say christianity is for the weak, you are correct. hopefully you will someday see your weakness and come to lord as some here have. we are not strong, nor overly intelligent, we were not moral, fortunately our eyes have been opened to our state. your problem is only that you are to proud see that what you are, is what we once were. |

I have never spoken in tongues (unknown spiritual language), I have never seen someone speak in tongues in person. I am not sure what I am to think about speaking in tongues, I suppose I always have taken the position that it is a gift that has passed and is no longer. I think however that I arrived at that stance because of encounters I have had with charismatics and my overall distaste toward their movements, i.e. "name it claim it," wealth and prosperity teachings. I simply have lumped tongue speaking in with those heresies, which is irrational.Simply as a third party observer at this point I will say that Albert has looked foolish over the course of this discussion, and has been taken to the cleaners by the proponents of tounge speaking. The only perceived edge he has is when he asks them to produce testimony and they do not. Even that is fallacy, scripture is what is being discussed, personal testimony is outside the realm of this discussion. I am not persuaded either way, but those arguing for tongue speaking appear to have a better handle on scripture. Or maybe they are just skilled debaters. |

If we claim entire sanctification to be IMPOSSIBLE we,like or not, are on the verge, it appears, of excusing sin at least in some degree. The excusing of sin is antichrist.However if we claim entire sanctification is POSSIBLE and say we are without sin, then we lie. The claim to be without sin is also antichrist. The survey I posted itself may be entirely flawed because sanctified is not defined in the question. If 'sanctified' means living in sinless perfection then entire sanctification is only approachable, or a direction in which the believer WILL move for their entire duration on earth, else he or she does not believe. When you drive down a highway you must make minor adjustments in steering or else you will be off the road. So it is in the Christian life. A true believer will make those adjustments, it is a continual state of repentance. If 'sanctified' means being sinless and perfect before God, then all believers must be entirely sanctified to enter into the prescense of God. This entire sanctification occured at one moment 2000 years ago. Maybe our discussion is too intellectual to be of any real value, I do not think so yet, but we may be heading in that direction. Anyway thank you all for you comments. Jerry, Mike, Remo & Susan, coora... etc thankyou! |

I posted this survey honestly seeking an answer. My intial thought is 'no!' based on 1John, yet I also read the commands of Christ to 'be ye perfect.' Moreover the indwelling of the Holy Spirit gives me more and more intense hatred for sin when it I commit it. Is the depth of my sin so deep that I will be sinning even if only sporadically, until death? Or have old things passed away and ALL things are made new?I am simply seeking truth on this. I have been supernaturally reborn, and yet I still sin, yet sin is no longer my nature, and my lifestyle is no longer that of utter sinfulness. I would love to believe that entire sanctification is possible, and I would even more love to have God accomplish that in me. To no longer sin, what a thought. To be perfect, I long for that. I do have trouble discerning what the WHOLE of scripture teaches on this. Don't blast me too hard on this, it is an honest question. |
