Food for thought?.
Php 1: 14-20 (MKJV)
14 And most of the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.
15 Some indeed even preach Christ because of envy and strife, and some also of good will.
16 Those, indeed, preach Christ out of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds.
17 But these others preach in love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
18 What then? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And I rejoice in this. Yet, also I will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but as always now Christ shall be magnified in my body with all boldness, whether it is by life or by death.

wow interesting, i personally liked it, saw past alot of what others dont like.
be that as it may, acually mainstream is tearing it apart, and mainstream is calling it univeralism, and mainstream is calling it blasphamy.
so that makes me like it even more :-*
dont get me wrong, i did see the error in it, but when mack had to decide which of his children he would send to hell, that really hits home.

"........He is actually come to live inside of us. Jesus is the only hope for us, not only as individuals.....Jesus is the only hope for the world."
I didn't understand his conclusion to be doubletalk...isn't there a big difference in being "like Jesus" and "Christ in you," ? What do you think? There are a lot of people working to be like Jesus instead of resting as Christ works in them from the inside out.
Col 1:27
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
(KJV)
Yes, I confess to reading the book:) I can get over the parts that aren't exactly as I believe, to embrace the main idea which I found to be God's everlasting mercy and love purposed to the good of all mankind because it is "fiction". The love of God comes through loud and clear, unlike mainstream christianity. The idea that relationships can only be realized foundationally through the mystery of "Christ in you" was a good one also. As He reveals to you how to partake of loving the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul, and mind, He gives you the ability to love your neighbor as yourself:) I certainly can't do anything good on my own.......so I am learning to trust Him. As Ray teaches, Jesus came to save us from death, sin and every evil that is represented therein. His residing Love cleanses the cup from the inside out. In time, Christ's love is extended to All!!! Praise be to God!
Rest in the Lord,

"To me, the centrality of the new covenant is not that he is come to help us be like him, to give us the holy spirit.
to me, following Jesus...being Jesus' follower is not trying to be like him. It's allowing him to be himself in the uniqueness of our own person hood.
To me that is the new covenant. He is actually come to live inside of us. Jesus is the only hope for us, not only as individuals.....Jesus is the only hope for the world."
No time for this double talk.
To quote a famous minister, "This book is like a ditch covered over in flowers!"
Thanks for warning us!
