You know if you comment without replying, I'm usually not going to see it, because I just check my alerts?oh but buried and raised part to me means just what i implied, what the Preacher says when we are getting baptized. Ritually.
we just dont pay those words any attn, and move the "buried and raised" part into tomorrow, usually
in our desire to Become Immortal (rather than die to self, overcome the ego, whatever), we turn Christianity into the Cult of Sol, which descended from Mithraism to become accessible to females, so goes the theory
all pretty easily searchable
what did you go out into the wilderness to see, Renniks?
how did you get sucked in?
right?
a search of "Mithraism and" doesnt autocomplete for "Christianity" for nothing imo
Yes, we are raised with Christ in the here and now, is this your whole point? Eternal life starts at salvation. But, it doesn't become complete in this life.
1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.
What hope? The hope of heaven, where we will be truly made like Him.
