@Hazelelponi I should never have gotten off on tangents--the thread has completely lost its way. LOL

So you acknowledge that God was husband to His people before, and, today, Christ is husband to God's people?

There is, in fact, something wrong when a person cannot recognize, or refuses to recognize, something so plain, and insists on such a mind-bendingly silly reading, so, as opposed to before, I do not really look forward to discussing things with you.

I thought you were not going to be speaking with me. What made you change your mind?

Everyone has a basic doctrine if they're Christian--Christ crucified and resurrected.

I don't know what this means.

Part of the problem with making sure my actions line up with Scripture has been an inability to reach a coherent conclusion from all I read there (and there's no one to make sense of it--already discussed with basically the world's top Pauline scholar, NT Wright, in email, and he doesn't have it...

Yeah, I'm not against any of that, so I don't know what you mean by "mindlessness".

Being mindful?

As stated, it's both we are clad with Christ and Christ wears us--He's in us working His works.

I actually don't consider the idea that God "wears" us the slightest bit controversial. I thought you were going to address mindlessness.

If you think God does not "wear" us, despite my having shown you precedent for it in Scripture (from Jeremiah), again, I invite you to find an example of anything else on earth that performs acts that it itself is not performing (because Paul said "I was abundant in labors above them all, yet...

Actually, I wasn't sure what point you were addressing in your previous post. I skimmed through this video, and agreed with a number of things he said, but it seems you're addressing being "clothed" versus "being worn as clothing"? I already said it's both. I thought you were going to address...

Are you responding to God "wearing" us, or "mindlessness"?

LOL can't stand the heat, get out Your view has gaping holes.

1. To this or that degree, "eternal regeneration", etc, is speculation, and your god would have to have been a fool before somehow managing to "create" wisdom--unlike God, Who was and is and always will be the only wise King. 2. I will choose scholarship proving my view of Qanah, you will...

But thank you for helping me--you hit the bullseye, so it had to be from God. I can't wait to see what wisdom God gives you to help me.

Anyway if I don't start trying to get to sleep I'll regret it like I do every day. See ya (God willing)!

Because Christians being "worn" by God is merely an understanding I received as an answer to prayer about a verse of Scripture just recently (within the past maybe seven years or so), and has nothing to do with my own personal defects which preceded that.

Jeremiah 13 1Thus the LORD said to me, “Go and buy yourself a linen waistband and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water.” 2So I bought the waistband in accordance with the word of the LORD and put it around my waist. 3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying...
