We are not in something linear.
But nevertheless we can put several linear things together in the manner of loom art or as we say in UK ,curved stitching . It’s not complete parallel thinking but it’s well on the way.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
The faith that we have isn’t our own faith but Galatians 2.20 in the Greek says faith of Christ.
We can shortcut to love or Agape, but that does not exclude the gift of the discernment of spirits. This is why New Age doesn’t cut it.
Does it confess Jesus to be Lord ? 1 Corinthians 12.3
Does it say Jesus is God come in the flesh
1 JOHN 4.2
He who has the Son has life
He who does not have the Son does not have the life.1 John 5.12
The Life is specific.
Facebook is not here to clobber each other over the head with a leftbrain Nazi interrogator saying
Are you born again?
We are not born again in the leftbrain.
So without blurring the edges as everybody on Facebook does, but using parallel scriptures to describe what Jesus has done for us, we come to a gentle curve of loom art.
But at no point on one straight bit of cotton can you say “ aha..... there the Kingdom is”
No it’s not, it’s a straight line, and by itself you can’t bisect that single line and say
That’s it.
Nope. It’s a line.
But start to put the 66 books of the Bible together with all the Holy Spirit cross referencing and the New coming out of the fog and mists of the old, and you start to be aware of the Kingdom coming down from heaven.
