RIP.

Like Elijah under the juniper tree wishing he were dead. Or Charles Spurgeon, days spent in the depths of depression, John Wesley had his times of melancholy and spiritual depression. Sanctification does not destroy our humanity, just cleanses it from sin. A good book on this is Martyn Lloyd...

Cameron, come clean with your Calvinism belief in this matter, rather than purport that it is scripture.

See posts #25 & #52.

I am not being a martyr, just don't like being flamed like everyone else. Holiness is more than deliverance from sin; it is being renewed in the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a life where the love of God reigns supreme. As John Wesley rightly affirmed, holiness is love.

The example I gave you is 'poetic parallelism'. It is where a statement is made and then repeated in a different way. Another example,' The Lord has made known is salvation and his righteousness has he openly shown'. He is saying the same thing is both cases but in a slightly different way. See...

Jesus told us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Does that mean we are made up of 4 entities? You are forcing Plato's view of man onto scripture.

Do you think the New Earth will be a new planet or a renewal of this present earth?

You and others have denigrated me and my belief in heart holiness BUT no one has commented or answered my post #49 about Romans chapter six and what Paul wrote! Rather telling I think. Is it because you have no answer?

"Awake to righteousness, and do not sin." 1Cor15:34.

It is you who needs a basic course in Christianity. The tripartite view of man is a minority view in the Church. The vast majority of biblical scholars believe in a bipartite nature of man. The spirit and the soul are seen as one and the same thing, the non-material part of man.

If you can't be bothered, you will remain in the dark.

Thanks for that. I am too old and tech ignorant to do such things. Haa

Read Ferguson's article, he says it better than me.

Can you not disagree without the personal insults?

For those interested, Google Gordon Ferguson. 'What about Watchman Nee's teaching on soul and spirit'.
