The Kingdom of God-men

No one has been able to demonstrate that the transfiguration of Jesus on the mount of transfiguration is not His divinity being manifested from within Him.

No one has been able to refute that the transfiguration of the the believers is God's life essentially doing the same from within them.

None of the thumb suckers have had to guts to prove unbiblical the truth of God living in men essentially means God-men.

Other than an emotional "But I don't like it!" I see rebuttal to the OP.

How subjective to a person is the life of that person ?
The very life of a person is really close to the person.
He and his life are very close - inseparable actually.

The New Testament emphatically says that the forgiven, redeemed man can receive God in Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit to be his very life.

In fact the last Adam, Christ, became a life impart ...[text shortened]... the New Testament. Both are alienated from the life of God.
Even they may display pride in this.

I believe you come to the Spirituality Forum and protest too much.
I think the genuine real atheists wouldn't even bother coming here.

I think pride and a lack of Christian humility are at the heart of your quest for deification and willingness to corrupt religious text.

Please specify WHICH text of the New Testament I corrupted.
I have expounded quite a few passages already.

Which text do you claim I corrupted?

I do not mean which interpretation y ...[text shortened]... on't like. I said which TEXT have I corrupted?

Do you read and write fluently in Koine Greek ?

@Ghost-of-a-Duke

Which text did I corrupt?

"All of them" is a dodge.
"All of them" is an excuse that you cannot pinpoint any ONE of them.

Do you read and write koine Greek?
Can you translate NT Greek and pinpoint a very bad textural translation?

Which text then do you disagree with to the point that my expounding of it you count as corruption of the English ?

As for your name calling.

Why "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me."

Learn something from kids.

You cannot point out one.
You cannot from "all of them" point out one and demonstrate corruption of text.

Which text of all of them did I corrupt?
Show how I corrupted the text.
Your unbelief doesn't qualify as my corrupting a text merely because of your
unbelief.

Your unbelief does not constitute Christians corrupting the text of the New Testament.

Your spiritual deadness and unbelief do not constitute believers charlatans.

I affirm that you are unable or unwilling to demonstrate corruption of a New Testament text concerning anything I have written in this thread.

When I see an example of text corruption put forward by you then I'll pay some attention to the example if it has some merit.

On the contrary. The Bible says that the believers look forward to being SWALLOWED UP by divine ZOE [ not BIOS] life.

"For also, we who are in this tabernacle [physical body] groan, being burdened, in that we do not desire to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." (2 Cor. 5:4)

Christ is the God-man. And Christ is the divine life.
And you can hand wave "Witness Lee, Witness Lee" until your blue in the face.

It is the Apostle Paul teaching that we Christians not only have Christ WITHIN as life. We also look forward that in transfiguration our bodies would be SWALLOWED UP in that divine life.

On the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus temporarily displayed His being swallowed up with glory of God before three of His disciples.

We await the redemption of our bodies as Christians that we too would be swallowed up in life. Clothed upon with that eternal tabernacle of a body whose source is in heaven.

" . . . longing to be clothed upon with our dwelling place from heaven." (v.2)

This divine life of Christ that has been imparted into us is what the Apostle Paul called "this treasure in earthen vessels".

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be oif God and not our of us." ( 2 Cor. 4:7)

How can the unbelief of some atheist constitute the corruption of the text of the New Testament's precious promises?

Corrected spelling

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us." ( 2 Cor. 4:7)

There is a single, correct Christianity; it is a fact.

But it is important to be sympathetic to the way that others interpret it as many of their hearts are sincere.
