Dear Shythiyl, Great question! I've argued in the past that our relationship with Christ today is far deeper even than the one that the disciples enjoyed during His earthly ministry. John wrote his gospel (and at least his first epistle) to deal with the gnostic heresy. Look how often the word "know" appears in his writings. Paul was dealing with an earlier form of the same heresy in his epistle to the Colossians. There he even uses the word "epignosis" (see 1:9) -- speaking of a deep kind of knowledge. I think this question of how Christ manifests Himself -- through the Word and in our spirit -- is one that is definitely worthy of further consideration. Sorry for not giving any kind of a definitive answer... but thank you for the blessing of giving me something like this in which to delve! In Him, Doc |

Thank you for understanding my question. I'm not saying that it has happened here, but it seems that, only too often, those who do not understand, rather than attempting to do so, would rather cast stones. I have had so many thoughts scoffed, at in these forums in which I search so diligently to find someone with which I can share what God has blessed me with, and gleen the fruits of their experiences as well, by those who call themselves brothers and sisters, only later to see the same question arrise. It is then that one must be near fearless to participate in the conversation. Again, thanks. And, by the way, I meant it more as a comment than a question. I figured there would be some opposition, there usually is, but I was looking forward to seeing some scripture from both sides. Considering the lack of response, it looks like it may have been a wrong question for this forum. I have heard at least one preacher say that Jesus dosen't show Himself to anyone today. I believe that scripturally, it is wrong to make such a statement, for though this may be true for one, it may not be for another, and I feel that the passages I quoted proves scripturally that He does show Himself... |

Dear Shythiyl, The only thing that gets you in trouble on this forum is if you don't agree with TBN or the currently highest earning Christian book of the moment. That's when they call you shallow, of course. :-) Somehow, building your house upon the solid Rock draws lots of stone throwing. Thank goodness, though, that we are assured that such things are indictive of a close walk with the Savior. Sure hurts the nogin at times, though! In Him, Doc |
