Hi t,

The Spirit is what unites the church.

If you do not have the Spirit of Christ you are none of his.

Hi t,

You must be reborn from above.

Jn3

Hi t,

I cannot find surrogate in scripture.

He was conceived and the same word is used for John.

Was the mother of the baptist also a surrogate?

Hi t,

Where?

Hi t,

Work on your own stuff.

Hi t,

Really?

I do not think you can see the kingdom yet.

Hi t,

You had to say that to make your dodgy dogma work.

But Mary is his mother and your opinions add nothing

Hi t,

Yes muse on that one.

Hi t,

No just revealing the author.

Folks get confused and attribute the words to the vessel.

Hi t,

Indeed.

But the fact is he was conceived in Mary.

Hi t,

Find the Spirit.

Hi t,

The goal is not great knowledge of scripture.

It is knowing and being known by the Author.

Hi t,

hmmm.

Hi t,

Jesus Christ is not the only son of God is he?

Hi t,

No Mary was his mother.

Read scripture.

Hi t,

Only as good as the knowledge you have acquired?

Knowledge too can be a vanity and a trap if you do not know the Author.

Hi t,

You see the words and line them up ok

but you do not hear the Spirit.

My words are spirit and they are life.

Hi t,

Nothing will make sense till you hear, see and touch the word.

Just like John.

Hi t,

See as John sees.

The word made flesh.

Hi t,

Then you had better begin to understand the wisdom of God.

Such is scripture.
