True also it is that some people's 'experience' is different from others. At the bodily level, we are 'members one of another'. This is not to be taken lightly - our betrothal is to the One who was raised from the dead. I find this beautifully portrayed in my reading of the Old Testament since Hebrews 2006. I had been there before but little did I know where I was going when we met. The experience of 'Holy Spirit' is not confined to the NT. It is bound up in the act of election that God makes. It is 'as if' God is the experimenter in the split beam experiment with each of us. We have two slits in any split beam experiment. The pattern for any particular wave is either to darkness or light depending on how the wave troughs arrive at the measurement plate. But we know that the individual elements are not only waves but also particles. 'It' passes through both slits! For us the two slits are our birth in time, and our birth in the cross. The measuring place is the judgment seat. We are in two beings - both the old and the new person in the Anointed. Yet we are one with the One who is light for our darkness and who is One (Deuteronomy 6:4). <br /><br />Human beings need a lot of technology to do quantum level experiments on more than the photon level. The collapse of the wave function requires an observation. Perhaps it is what we keep our eyes on that will determine our pre-knowledge of the light of the Anointed Jesus.<br /><br />What about the split beam applied to Jesus himself? Is he wisdom? Per Paul yes - so he was begotten before the worlds per Proverbs 8. Is he born of woman - Per Paul Yes and also through the Gospel women in all darkness and light - a line of kings as well. This was in 'the fullness of time'. This particular particle, God chose to measure as whole. This is the light that was 'in the beginning with God' that 'God saw' and declared beloved. (I skipped a beat there). Is Jesus light? Yes but so are we - and that 'in the Lord' per both Gospel and Ephesians 5. Is this light good? - isn't that the first breath of faith? See the child-like acrostic of Psalm 34.<br /><br />The whole gospel of election is in TNK. And the NT is likely misread without it. We are mis-reading the probabilities of life with our enforced confessional statements of faith.<br /><br />I am knocking on a few questions too - and I cannot put them into someone else's history at the moment. I can only relate my questions as I learn. E.g. we confine the meaning of Christ to Jesus. I think this is imprecise language. What if Christ - anointing - is the action of God in choosing the object of covenant? That's a shot at a short definition.Bob MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335631079939764763noreply@blogger.com
