Mioque,
so what does docetism mean to you and me today?
can we prove that Jesus came in the flesh 2000 years ago?
I cant. at least to someone who doesnt believe in the miraclous power of God Himself.
and this comes from the facts that Jesus left no evidence for you and me today to verify his existence...
but I do have the witness inside me. if I believe that the truth in which God speaks to me to be true. Jesus is "in me". He lived and died and was resurrected inside Me.
So I believe He had to have lived in the Flesh.
Now, I have evidence of this truth..inside me.
as does everyone else who doesnt nor has ever heard of the heresy of Docetism, but yet demands today proof of Jesus past existence in Mankinds history....
"the confession that Jesus came "in the flesh" is eluding to the death of the believers old carnal spirit and the resurrection of the spirit of Jesus christ into the flesh of the believer."
Actually it is about a heresy called Docetism that denied that jezus ever had a real human body.
then paul wasnt preaching "Christ in you"
as a deep mystery of God to his fellow brothers and sisters?
or John of the existence of the Spirit of Antichrist based on holding fast to the faith of What they had been Taught? (1 joh 2:18; 1 joh 2:22; 1 Joh 4:3; 2 Joh 1:7)
until these new believers receive the corresponding revelation that reveals to the the reality of the faith which they hold.. their faith is words without proof. it can be compromised with fables and lies...especially of the spirit of antichrist. that Jesus really isnt resurrected into them...
that is why holding onto the word taught them by faith is so important. we still can turn to fables while learning about our saviors abilitits and powers.
and were talking about children in Christ..
not young men or fathers. these children are in a trial of beliefs. of becoming a n obedient child or disobedient. and believing that the Spirit of Christ is within them and has been tried by the holy spirit is paramount to professing a good profession.
it is the child learning a deep mystery of God.
an indoctrination ceremony with a "secret" that only thay know. that the spirit is within them.
Col 1:26
[Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27
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:
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
As babes in Christ we as a living testimony witness to the humility and pureness of the believers faith.
if within the progressive childlike walk in faith. the word of faith being the message of "Christ in you".."the hope of glory"..if these children become puffed up and fall away from the faith of the message of the new spirit inside them. they can soon fall into apostasy of living by faith and miss the opportunity to receive the truth of the "revelation". they change the truth of the word of faith into something different to serve their purpose. the new truth that it is infact not the true spirit of Christ in them, but their puffed up imaginations that their old spirit has becomed "renewed" without being judged, and replaced.
that they really didnt die or were in death.
how did they get into death in the first place.
they took on a challenge that they could live by the law and become successful at following its precepts. the real truth of God giving them the law was to kill their ability and bring them to the conclusion that they deserved death and in and of their own efforts. they were incapable of purifying their old spirit and in need of the miraculous act of God to give them a new righteous Spirit.
and whose spirit were they to receive?.
the only ressurrected and righteous spirit.
the spirit of "Christ in You"
Now you have intellectual proof necessary to identify Antichrist influences on the brother and sister not living within their potential.
It springs from a doubt in Gods ability to Raise them from the dead.
For if We have Jesus Spirit within Us.
We have proof that We have been Risen also.."With Christ" from the dead. and can easily declare Jesus has defeated all powers against US, even the Power of Death and Rightly deserves to Be called Lord.
