Very true.

There is nothing mystical about it.

I am sorry if it offends you.
Your lack of comprehension doesn't offend me.

Where have you got that idea?. It is a union with God in you.

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Cor 13:5

Re sit the test, there is no fee for doing so, just humbling yourself(actually that does prove to be expensive at times).

Again...you actually refer to a Bible verse....good for you. But then you tell me that it's just about this mystical relationship with this creature named Jesus...so why do you quote the verse? What good does that do for you if you don't believe it's authoritative?

Something did. Something caused you to come up with that weird comment. You tried to explain my view, and now you are arguing I don't comprehend it.

You agree that it's ONLY in the Bible that we can know who God is?

Great!

Of cause the whole thing is about Jesus. He is in all things and created all things

Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are, and were created. He embodies all things


It's all about HIM, your bible says so. Him who reveals the Father to us. As he revealed the Father to you yet?

The foundation is that God loves us -- each of us. We can become aware of different aspects of how that beautiful foundation can be realized and lived out in many ways, especially through our own unique experiences. But, also through the thoughts of others who have experienced that love, in whatever way their thoughts have been expressed (including being written down in books like the bible).
