Oneness question

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Go back to the incarnation of Christ. He fulfilled Isa.9:6. He is the
Father or the Spirit in the flesh. The Spirit testifies by the miracles.
The flesh by it self can do nothing. It is the Spirit within doing the
work. The word of God is always demonstrated, if it isn't then the word is
nothing but dry speach. The two are joined as one just as your Spirit and
flesh are together while you are alive, the Spirit in you is God, you soul
is who you are and you live in your body. It is our responsibility to
conform or re-train our mind to be like God's. Then we think the thoughts
of God. Eventually there is no difference between you and Christ. you
become burned up in Him. You become One..i.e. My father and I are one. When
we get raptured, we become as He is......Father and son as one! Remember,
the Spirit of God is our Father in us, and that very same Spirit is Christ.
