Subject: How did man have a Divine Mind? |
Bible Note: Hi, Searcher56! In the Old Testament Yahweh called us "gods"--this did not make us His equal; it is only His expression demonstrating what our goal should be: to be holy as God is Holy! Christ said it differently; "be one as I and the Father are One..." Jesus calls us to be one with Him (I am the vine you are the branches; if you abide in me...)--never did Jesus say you are equal to God or will become God's equal! Paul, through the revelation of the Holy Spirit, tells us this: ...But we are those who have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16--unabridged: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16). God Bless! |
