FTR, I disagree with much of the theology in what you previously posted. And I also completely disagree when anyone effectively 'mystically' claims to have superior insight.Dan Edwin said:Thanks Ed :thumbs: It's nice to find some warmth on the Baptist board. We're only sorry people fight and squabble to defend their interpretation of scripture more than study to learn together.
I use the pronoun "we" in my posts, because I believe I am one with the Father and the Son, based on verses such as:
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God (1 John 4:15).
Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified. (2 Corinthians 13:5b)
And these fulfill the prayer by Jesus that we all may be one.
"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, (John 17:20-21a).
This may sound foolish, but we believe this is where Jesus (Gee's US) comes from. Such as, gee, it's us!,......we are Jesus, in that, I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; (Galatians 2:20a); and, you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)
We have died, and it is no longer we who live, but Christ lives in us, and we are members of His body.
We're sorry the posts are not closely read to discern the meaning, unless God has blinded those who read the posts to the meaning.
Take care, and God bless.
I just try and disagree without being disagreeable.
Ed
