  1. i am one who has Christ in me as well, so brother, let us be at peace and meet on that good news.
  2. If you are not the Christ living inside of "frienduff" then who are you?
  3. Why do you say spiritualism when my profile says spirituality? Those two words have two different definitions. Spirituality is merely a concern with the spirit. I am sane to imagine you can agree that the Holy spirit, spirit of God, the Christ, born in spirit, etc, is good for those who are the fragrence of Christ among those who are being saved- and perishing. Be sure that the Light that is in you is not darkness, lest how great will that darkness be. When you go on proclaiming a thing it is best to use scripture lest you embody satan in your walking to and fro to devour and condem... and you be used to snatch up the seeds of the word of God - seeds of entry to the kingdom for you and others too. Here are 8 scriptures to support that Christ lives, not i: 1. “But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness.”—Romans 8:10 We human beings were created by God with a body on the outside and a soul and spirit on the inside. Our spirit is our deepest part, created to contact and receive the Spirit of God. When we received Jesus as our Savior, He cleansed us of our sins and He came into our spirit as life. Thus, because Christ is in us, our “spirit is life because of righteousness.” 2. “Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the One who shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us.”—2 Corinthians 4:6-7 The apostle Paul describes the believers as earthen vessels that contain “this treasure.” What is this treasure? It is Jesus Christ, in whose face we see the glory of God. Christ lives in us earthen vessels as a precious treasure, revealing to us the glory of God from within. 3. “But when it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me.”—Galatians 1:15-16 We might think this verse should read, “It pleased God…to reveal His Son to me.” But in the original language of the New Testament, Greek, the verse reads “to reveal His Son in me.” God’s plan is to reveal His Son in us, from within, rather than to us, from without. Or, to put it another way, God reveals Christ to us from within us. To those who have Christ in us, God is pleased to reveal in us more of the wonderful Person of Christ. 4. “I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.”—Galatians 2:20 Here, Paul did not say “I live in a Christ-like way,” or, “I glorify Christ through my behavior.” No, he said, “Christ…lives in me,” clearly telling us that Christ lives in His believers. The Christian life is not a matter of behaving like Christ, but of allowing Christ Himself to live in and through us. 5. “My children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ is formed in you.”—Galatians 4:19 Paul viewed the believers in Galatia as his spiritual children. He had labored to help them receive Christ at their salvation, and in this verse, he continues to labor on them so that the Christ they received would be fully formed in them. Christ lives in us from the time we are saved, but He wants to be formed in us in a definite way. Day by day, we need to give Him the opportunity to be formed in us. As we do, Christ will be able to express Himself more fully through us in our daily life. 6. “That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith.”—Ephesians 3:17 When we believed into Christ, He came to live in our spirit, the deepest part of our being. But Christ also wants to make His home in the rest of our inward being: our hearts and our souls. By living in our spirit, Christ is the new source of our new life. But our soul—our mind, emotion, and will—can still choose to ignore Him as our new source and go on just as before. In this case, Christ is in us, but He’s limited in us, kept only in our spirit. So He cannot be expressed through us very much. The Lord Jesus wants to make His home not only in our spirit, but also in all the parts of our soul. 7. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”—Colossians 1:27 This verse shows that Christ is in us in a particular way: as our hope of glory. When we believed in Him, Christ came to live in our spirit. Now He is making His home in our hearts. In the future, when He returns, He will even spread to our body outwardly so that God’s glory can shine through us in a full way. The Christ who lives in us is our hope of such glory. 8. “When He comes to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at in all those who have believed.”—2 Thessalonians 1:10 Christ’s second coming will surely be a marvel. But according to this verse, the most marvelous thing will not be the outward display of His coming; it will be His glory revealed from within His believers. The Christ in us, who lives in us and is being formed in us, will be revealed from within us, and even our bodies will be transformed to match Him. What a glory to God, a marvel to man, and a shame to the devil, that people on this earth would choose to receive Christ and allow Him to grow in them and express Himself through them throughout their lives! What is your choice to be?
  4. once you KNOW that you are the Christ, living inside of a personal self, then its over
  5. no, the pickle is absoltely well, always, it is the Christ within
  6. he is saying that it takes time to develope or grow into the fully formed adult or spiritual being
  7. once the cucumber becomes the pickle, there is no going back.... the key here is, what is a cucumber, what is a pickle, can we recognize them both? Can we be honest about which one we are?
