WEEEKLY CHAT - WEEK 49!
WEEKLY CHAT #49
OK, let's try the weekly chat idea, V2. Been hearing some positive comments! Seems like we have a winner! Give it a chance! Here goes! <3
First verse:)
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called. Ephesians 4:4
First verse - SAME AS THE FIRST
God Wins
For God & Country.
:)
God is funny. I random versed this one. However it is one of my favorite though. God WINS
Hey, BTW just mentioning, you have been DESTROYING on the new X.com GAW group, almost better posts than GAW now basically
Oh thanks. I am trying to figure out the group thing really. I don't want to "take a page" from all those websites that supposedly help you "grow" the group, but I'm trying to figure out how to get more quality engagement
Yeah I agree. He has been destroying it. I'm still trying to find my place over there myself. It's very motivating watching cats take it on though
that is a wild one. separation is illusion
So we're all one big blob and nothing separates us, no boundaries no identities? I have a qualm with your interpretation of that scripture. To me it is clear that it means: where we go 1 we go all, which can also be said to mean we all have the same mission and though we have different roles, we fight for the same cause. Is that what you mean by "no separation"?
i pretty much mean the big blob thing, but it doesn't mean a lack of identity. there are boundaries in the visual spectrum too, but we recognize that its all the same thing at different frequencies. and you are no more at risk of losing your identity than any other color is. red will always be red, and you will always be you. equally timeless. it is your energy signature, for eternity.
so the illusion is very persistent. but all separation can still be revealed as illusion. GOD divided the waters from the waters. made all things from one thing. and, being omnipresent, that one thing was himself.
that doesn't mean we are perfect, or that God is imperfect. the blind spots in our reality have been carefully designed. for us to have this imperfect experience, while having access to the grace which can make it perfect.
our freedom to make mistakes and sin and go astray is just more of that mercy. a freedom God grants to himself through his children, who are of the same substance. spirit, condensed into the mind of God, condensed into us.
what else can exist, but existence itself?
what properties can existence have, other than the property of existence?
separation... aka the empty space between...
but how can non-existence exist?
quantum physicists already know that nonlocality is very real. nonlocality is the principle that distance is entirely irrelevant. the separation between any two points in space is entirely illusory. and we are learning that the same is true of time. because all separation is illusion. there is one Spirit, one soul, one mind, and one body.
the passage may be referring to the church, but the church is of God, who is in all things. valid meaning on multiple levels, as with most of the Bible.
This tracks with some concepts I've been pondering but no way would I discuss them so as to not lead people astray, as well as myself not fully understanding, but good to know someone else is also investigating it!
You guys are actually talking about 2 different sides of the same thing. The endless connects to God and the uniqueness in Christ that we all have. This is why I quoted that long passage below. A foot is a foot and does foot things(purpose in Christ) yet it is still part of the body and can not be separated from it because it gains it's overall value from the bigger connection
I believe it is referring to the at the time understood belief
Each person is an element of God. that is omnipresence..
You can choose salvation and being a glorified eternal being or you can die a simple block in the system
Man made church wants you enslaved to it. The freedom Christ brings can not coexist with worldly control
That is the whole theme of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the church overcoming Babylon.
And just for fun, Revelation is not a futurist prophesy.
there is no spoon
Then how do you eat your soup?
1 Corinthians 12:15-26 New International Version 15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
