Having come from no pagan or other belief systems...
The "confusion and chaos" simply comes from thinking as men think, which you now also do by rationalizing what seems right according to men's thinking and understanding. But in doing so, you have effectively dismantled the eternity of both God and man. We are not born of God to be subordinate, neither was Jesus...except for "a time, times, and half a time." Of these things you lack understanding, and show yourself to be a mere student, and no teacher, except in prolonging the "time."
On the contrary, we are not born to be subordinate forever, but rather to be eternal with God and One, as God expands his own territory. Which unlike the life we (including Jesus) have or had in the world, which passes away, the life we have in Christ and God, does not pass away. By definition, none who are eternal as God is eternal, are subordinate. No part of God is subordinate to himself, and if we are born of him, we are born of and into his eternity, no less than himself. One.
Nevertheless, those who think like men will also talk like men, and teach like men.
Hi Scott,
How do you understand this part;
Revelation 21:2-4
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Much love!
Mark
