"Christ abides in each person as his potential perfection. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of all divine ideas, exists eternally in the Mind of Being as the only begotten Son of God, the "Messiah" or "anointed one," and is the living Principle working in man."

Christians have been saying that for a long time. What if it is a false doctrine. What if Christ (not Jesus) is the creation of God and in all mankind, but dormant in most. Christ not recognized is Christ not birthed and living in the individual, but the potential is there. Jesus actually fully proved Christ in action all the way to ascending to the Father, that is why He is living principle,,,,,,,he is alive now and active in the believer, and knocking at the door of the unbeliever.
Jesus is the Christ. Look, I would have an honest discussion with you about this if I believed you were sincere. You remind me of a lot of people I've known (even been one myself at one time) and the sort of person Paul and others repeatedly, repeatedly warn about. People who like to talk, and philosophize and use fancy language and enjoy hearing themselves speak, but essentially are clueless.
I've been a disciple of Jesus Christ for 40 years.
Sorry, I don't think you are. Now maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but you implied that Jesus is/was not the Christ. If that is your take on things, then I would say you are not a disciple of Christ.
Jesus is our big brother. Jesus walked the perfect walk, was crucified for it, arose from the dead, and is at the right hand of the Father as king of heaven at this very moment. At this very moment the living Jesus Christ is at work in the church, you and me. I enjoy talking about our Lord, please keep pressing.
Who isn't clueless when talking about God? I don't think your opinion would be valuable to the OP anyway, as the OP is clearly someone who thinks for himself. Personally, I believe you aren't "getting it" when you read the Bible. The book is a riddle. Those who fear God too much won't be able find that out. God wants you to find the Truth, not cower in fear of him, pretending to never question anything.
The OP is way closer to correct. I'm working on ways to show the world what the Bible is really trying to say. It's probably not for you. There were no big fancy words in the OP, so I don't know why you accused him of being fancy. But since you never realized that the Bible is telling us a lot about the universe itself, basically describing quantum physics, some fancy words might be required.
Btw the Bible contradicts itself often. You probably shouldn't completely chain your mind down on the subject just cuz you think Paul told you to. There's a Great Awakening happening. I had just never considered it fancy, until now. :)
Awesome, thanks
