@ Johann – #1 – You said --This argument confuses mystical imitation with divine redemption, ignores the centrality of the cross, redefines the Spirit as “mind” rather than the third Person of the Trinity, and ultimately preaches another gospel. It presents salvation not as a gift received by grace through faith, but as a spiritual method of self-elevation, which is foreign to Scripture and hostile to apostolic teaching.
Mac says - I agree, those who are of the laws of a belief system are truly confused with the realities of – that only God Himself can open in man. They cannot relate to His ways at all, all they can relate to is what man says says about Him in speculations, beliefs. there is noting real about beliefs only the manifestations of within you is real. And as I said one can believe anything about a god so obvious in these some 35,000 different known belief systems about a god.
In the God who is Love, there is no third person, it is you and God an no one else to clutter up His will for you.
And again I do not follow Pauls doctrine that he made up himself, I follow Jesus in his that is made up by God Himself.
#2 – Y9ou say Spirit is not your mind. So you do not have a spirit but only a mind?
When one encounters God as Jesus did and all of this we read of who did, we see a change of mind that became like His and walked in it as He walks in it. You can say that your mind is not your spirit but the truth is your mind, the spirit of it, is who you are, not what you are. That spirit of mind guides your very body, the head of your body, your godhead bodily.
The mind is Spirit, you can’t see it, you can’t touch it, it is invisible. Jesus was every clear to Thomas that spirit or mind, does not have flesh and bone as you see me. All that you can see of spirit is what the body does with it, and the actions of. Like the wind, you can’t see it but you can see the results of. it is alive, ever moving.
And man has reduced God all the way down to the bottom of depths for their gods to be in their own image of a man, and to be a man instead of the disposition of man who is of God that you are supposed to be offend controlled by God, obeying His commands.
The cross can do noting at all for you as long as you see your god dead on it. If you would take that god off that cross and pout the same Spirit in you who was in that man, only then will your reap the bendiest of a living God and not a dead one who dead on a cross. That man didn’t take your place in death, he died by the hands of peoples ignorance for who God really is.
Your god is yet to come someday and save you isn’t he. My God and Jesus came to us and saved us from all these beliefs systems man has placed on a god that they can control and be in their own image of a man. Doesnt have a clue who the God os Spirit is which is of mind to control it.
#5 – No religion is correct according to the God of Love, It is who you are not what you believe for a god and manufacture a god to suit a belief for as god. religions come a dime a dozen.
Love is not a religion it is who you are or are not. It is a state of being.
Laying down mystical pride is the most difficult thing for religious minds. The religious minded comes to me with the demand that I must believe this or that. The spiritual minded comes to me with the demand that I square my life with the standards of Jesus and walk as he walked in it.
Trying to preach to Jesus and dictate to him in who he was suppose to be according to a belief contrary to who he said he was in God is futile for we who has the same from the same God as he was of that he received from Him know the same truth as Jesus received from Him. If you are different from who Jesus was in the Father then you are on your own and has formed your own god that he may obey you.
