yet claiming equality with Christ/God is blasphemy gary.
I doubt you will read all of this for it is kind of long but at least try if you can. For I do explain how I can be of God. as Jesus was of God.
It is blasphemous to religious minds who make laws to regulate a believe for a god. Jesus was accused of blaspheme for the very same reason.
Christ is not a person civic, Christ is the disposition of the persons who are anointed of God and the only way you can be Gods anointed is to have His same Spirit, mind just as Jesus did.
The way of Jesus is to be anointed of God. Think about why you cant be perfect even as your Father in haven is perfect as Jesus commanded of you. Think of why you cant walk as He walks in His same light as Jesus did. Think of why when you see Him as He is ye shall be like Him. Think of why the kingdom of God doesn't come with observation but is within you, or is supposed to be in you. Think of why you cant be one in the Father with He in you and you inHim as one as He He was in Jesus and Jesus was in Him as one.
All the things Jesus said you would be if you were of his Father does not apply to you and you don't even know why they to do not apply to you. You are not seeking the kingdom of God first, you are dictating to a belief first instead.
Why do you think you are on the same playing field/level as Jesus ?
Because God demands that of us if we are to be of Him. You really do not know why God sent Abraham, Moses, Jesus, 120, WHY?
And I do not think I am on the same playing field with Jesus I know I am on the same playing field with Jesus for we have the same Father who is God, we are team mates, same mind, same walk, same light, same perfections.
Perhaps you tell me why you cant have from God that what God sent Jesus to show you His way? Isn't it very clear that something is missing in your doctrine? I suppose it isn't clear at all for you are blind to the way of God because you have power over your god that he may obey you instead of you having from God that what Jesus received from Him. That is why you deem His way as blaspheme just as those of Jesus day said it was blaspheme to be equal with the One true God who demands that you be as He is and walk in it.
You know very well there are some things in the Bible that you do not understand, that is obvious in your very reply that His way to be like Him is blaspheme for you.
Simple is the God who is Love and I am exactly like Him with His same mind, same anointing of Love, walk in it as He is in it. Love is perfect but most of you cant be perfect as He is -- WHY? because you serve a different god from the One who opened His Spirit, Holy Spirit, or Holy Love to Jesus when he was about 30 years old. His whole teachings changed from the same stipulations of law that you you are of that he once also taught in the temple even from a young age. But if you will note, the very ones who marbled at his ability to teach the laws in their temples for some eighteen years are the very ones who accused him of blaspheme for teaching the way of God instead of their religious laws -- ONLY AFTER HE RECEIVED FROM GOD HIS WAY INSTEAD OF THEIR WAYS.
Read it civic it is plane as it can get. The problem here is you are just as the ones who accused Jesus of blaspheme. They didn't believe he could be equal with God either. But in fact, God demands He be in you and you be in Him as one, walk as He walks in His same light, have the mind of Christ, be Gods anointed. You have not learned that YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD is all. The place God resides.
Again, the simplicity of to be of Love is just to simple for these cluttered minds of law who deem it blaspheme to have from God that what Jesu shad from Him. See Matt 3:16, the sis when his blaspheme started wasn't it? At least try and think in terms of Jesus and what transpired in him by God Himself, the God who is Love.
I know exactly why you accuse me of blaspheme just as Jesus knew exactly why the same accused him of blaspheme. You hate me for the very same reason those of the day hated him.
civic, most review Christ as a rental instead of ownership. In ownership no one can take it from you just as no one could take it from Jesus. In mans doctrines such as in a trinity doctrine, there is no ownership, only rental space that you cannot own yourself. But you can own the kingdom of God for it is within you, Luke 17:20-21, but unfortunately that trinity belief has stolen from most of you that ownership of God Spirit to be anointed of Him, which is Christ in you.
Now you can tell me again how it is blaspheme to have from God that what God sent Jesus to lead me to that I may receive the same inheritance from our Father that my brother received from our Father who is God in Matt 3:16. That is our inheritance, a life of Christ that I may be like my Father of it all just as Jesus received his. .
