The Narrow Path Ministries

My position on this, being the latest recipient of Dwight's “rancor,” is that this is a problem in the family. I would rather “work on it” than let it alienate a fellow member of Christ's Body...Jesus certainly deserves any labor here. The thing is, I'm actually sympathetic to Dwight's position in p...

I agree with dizerner. I call Dwight my dear brother because he is. I hope you will let him stay. Our salvation begins in grace, is sustained in grace, and is perfected in grace.

Dwight, the grace of God be with you.

Your brother,

john

DWIGHT>>>No, no one is forcing you to talk that way. I do not believe the Spirit is forcing you to talk that way. You are choosing, of your own free will, to talk like that, and then, patting yourself on the back, you think you are being led by the Holy Spirit. You call that kind of talk "spiritual"...

Dwight, my dear brother / inquisitor, There is a difference between the proclamation of the Gospel (to the outside world), and an explication of a profound and fundamental, albeit thought to be but derivative (and thus disputed), “element” of it. The vast majority of believers just accept the Trinit...

>>>I count 18 NITB's!<<< Well...18 zeros add up to zero (he said kinda snarkily). >>>If you're attempting to spiritually edify anybody at all, you're going to fail if you don't stick to what the Bible says, instead of mystical concepts and supposed spiritual wisdom, which is extremely difficult to f...

>>>"There is no space within which a distinct creation can exist." I exist in my home, which is a space. I am a distinct creation. NITB.<<< The same is happening here. This is running ahead again to Creation rather than staying in thoughts about God before Creation. >>>"Forget the evidence the mater...

Dwight>>>Okay, let's get into the weeds, with your mystical and baffling statements. I hope to minimize the length of this (I hate LONG posts) by just quoting the first few words of your sentences, and not the whole sentence, so you'll know which sentence I'm referring to.<<< Yes, long posts are pro...

Dwight>>>Otherness, I already cited deviations from the scripture in your post, but apparently you don't feel like you have to defend them. I could look for more, but I didn't really want to get "into the weeds" on this - i.e. taking point by point. If you don't even comment and defend yourself on t...

Before I say anything regarding these latest replies, I just want to point out that, for the most part, I've been very careful in trying to avoid writing in the “first / second person “ style. As much as possible I've avoided even the “third person” perspective, preferring the technique of objective...

Dwight>>>That's clear as mud. No one can possibly know the things that you seem to think you know. Your speech comes across like you're high on some kind of drug. You made several "statements" which cannot be verified from the Bible. You seem to think that you're privy to "spiritual" "knowledge" tha...
