Christ copied and pasted into man

"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:26)

Folks, in no conceivable way can you see this is COPYING what He is in ANY sense ??

"You are all sons . . . "

"You are ALL sons of God . . . through faith in Christ Jesus.:

No COPYING there?

"Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers;" (ROmans 8:29)

It is His will and His eternal purpose that we who have been forgiven and justified be conformed into the same image to be brothers of the Firstborn Son.

"In this has love been perfected with us, that we ay have boldness in the day of the judgment because even as He is, so also are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)

We may have boldness before Jesus because as He is so are we in this world.
None of you can in any way see some COPYING of what Jesus is in His people?

As He is so are we in this world. No copy?

IT does not include our being able to redeem with the shedding of our blood. It is NOT copying to that extent. It is not being an object of man's worship.

But is this not to some extent God COPYING Christ in those loving one another and saved in Christ?

@Kevin-Eleven

Even the women?

Proverbs 4:18

"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day."

You're wasting time Ghost of a Duke.
And you are going to miss out on great enjoyment.
Even eternal enjoyment as God's salvation grows brighter and brighter for those in His saving operation.

Old Testament:

Proverbs 4:18

"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day."

A New Testament parallel.

Second Corinthians 3:17,18 copied carefully by hand.

"And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.

But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; even as from the Lord Spirit."


You can see no COPYING in any sense there?
The "SAME IMAGE".

You see no desire of the Triune God to COPY what Christ is in any aspect into those who have the Holy Spirit ?

You're right, no copying.

So drop the analogy.

"Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is." (1 John 3:3)

It will be manifested that we will be "LIKE HIM". No copying? No pasting Him into the believer's being?
And someone says they see no conceivable ground to say God is COPYING what Christ is in His people.

It has not yet been manifested. But we have this expectation and this hope of glory. So we live accordingly, We should.

What reward awaits the Christian who grasps the purpose of God putting the Spirit of His Son within them. What an unspeakable privilege.

What an wonderful honor and purpose to live for.

"As many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." (Gal. 3:27)

"As many" - and you see no copying of Christ to a group of people? many people?

You cannot see the "many" as in any sense copying, duplicating Christ?


Do you say " Oh, those are just pious sounding words" ?
Some of us will take the New Testament seriously not dumbing things down to the natural understanding of mere religious sounding talk.

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Rom. 8:14)

And you see no copying of the Son of God in many sons of God?

The Spirit is Christ pasted into man to produce many sons of God.

You drop that there is no God.

Why isn't Scripture enough for you?

And the women became brothers, too, and grew moustaches, beards, and unibrows, and there was much rejoicing.
