In "Spiritual Warfare - Bad Philosophy and -Ism," I mentioned that Antioch was a major center of Christian thought, and that the city was destroyed. What happened or went wrong? Sin.
What was going on theologically, where Nestorius was most wrong? Getting the nature of Christ wrong, it may have been a major stumbling block for someone to grow "More in Faith." Reflecting some with God, I may be able to break this down for someone so it is easy to understand.
A man's body is a Temple. Jesus Christ lives inside of someone through his Holy Spirit. Part of learning to talk to God is through intuition or perception. Someone may be "Going with their gut."
Previously: "Intuition and Perception - Talking to God" on In God We Trust.
In 2014, I was new. I was talking to God, and growing in faith. I identified certain things inside me. I didn't 100% understand everything I was feeling or perceiving at the time. God is good. Off God's goodness, I felt my "Grit." I was a US Army Veteran. I had lived hard in my later 20's. I developed grit. I could feel God off my grit. This would be two natures. I had God, I had The Lord Jesus Christ, and we talked. There was something divine. There was something human. This would be a Prosopic Union. I am not Jesus. I wasn't born of a virgin. I was a sinner. Growing in faith, there may be some stages. In my "Grit," I had a hard time letting go. I liked my grit. This was not a rejection of The Lord Jesus Christ towards my humanity. I was committed on my journey of Faith. I do identify that someone may have rejected God at this stage. That makes Nestorius' teaching dangerous.
As someone grows in faith with God, it may be that God's Holy Spirit entwines around a man's soul. As a man continues to grow in faith, he may have become of "One Mind." This leads into an understanding of Theosis.
There was a lot of ugly theological disputes going on around Nestorius' time. The end result of these disputes was a major War, Famine, and Plague event where Eastern Rome and Persia destroyed each other more or less. A lot of people, and infrastructure, in Syria and Egypt were destroyed. Then the Muslims came. This is sign that both Alexandria and Antioch were doing somethings wrong. In general, I have worked to be Non-Denominational, that is, stay out of denominational hang ups that people have liked to argue over. I did mention Antioch today, so I may have been committed to explaining some more.
Prophecy. End Times. Growing in Faith. Who is God? What is God's character? How does God work in the world? How does someone lean on God? Learning some things that may or may not have been taught in Church, as well as seeing God's hand in current world events.

Why do I stay out of denominational hangups like potentially talking about The Virgin Mary?
ReplyDeleteIt is more important that someone is able to grow in faith as I have. At some point in time, we may be able to have a Synod where like minded men come together, and hammer out of these conflicts.
Question: Why should anyone listen to you *disrepectful/chiding*?
ReplyDeleteGod is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Are you aware of how God judges Nations and people?
Being disrespectful, a mocker, may put you closer to "a man of lawlessness." You are on God's time of Judgement.
