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...

But yeah you were dead-on with that statement about mindlessness--but I do want to insist that that is a completely separate issue!

I specifically said it was both--that we are God's clothing (because "that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ"), and God is our clothing (because Jesus's Name is "God Is Our Righteousness").

I did not mean we should be mindless when I said God "wears" us, BUT I do have a problem with mindlessness just because I was Buddhist (among other things--was infant baptized Roman Catholic, had been forced into Islam by my terrorist Muslim step father, then drug to Protestant Church, then was...

Thanks! The fact that God "wears" us has nothing to do with "mindlessness", because when we use our minds properly that would be God's acting, too. That's a good point. I think I agree? Except I don't know that I believe people can't fall away. No, actually, I agree with you about it not...

Well, take it up with John, who says that Isaiah's vision of "God" was Jesus. Also, while God was "husband" to His people, Israel, Jesus is "husband" to God's people, believers (the Church)--you have a big problem on that one, and your overly simplistic explanations do nothing to resolve them...

Well, part of my point was that we can see how God may deal with us in our lives by the example of how He dealt with Peter--He is with us, He loves us, He accepts us, even knowing our ignorance, and even in our ignorance we are not necessarily offensive in doing what we believe is correct...

Cool. Yeah, that confused me a little. lol
