Where we are at odds with mystic is that mystic believes that Jesus was a literal mortal man who was resurrected as a spirit
And that we also are born human and then become spirits
For him it is all about the individual
In the first centuries there was those thoughts being built upon and developed, but at that time they needed to be regarded as heretical because of the need to protect the writings they had inherited from corruption
The legacy/testament that had come from the Hebrews in their Scriptures were joined together with the gospels, epistles to form the Holy Scriptures and the Church Fathers, Doctors, Saints were aware of their responsibility of building up the Church to keep the Scriptures safe in the body of the Church, and also for administrative duties
However those that inherited that system are responsible for different things because of the different time and season they are in
The Protestant Revolution/reformation was about breaking down the unrighteous/ungodly parts of the (romanish/popish) Church system/organisation and for the distribution of all the “goods” “possessions” that they had accumulated to be sorted/judged by the sectarian, heretical parts (the denominations)
Luther was not against the person of the Pope as being the ordained Father/Bishop of the Church which is an inherited position
What he was against was the system that had trapped the Pope, this is about the systems/organisations that are for their own selves instead of for the people - it is losing sight of what the systems have been put in place for
Mystic is personally entitled to not be in bondage to “the system” I myself personally am not in bondage to any of the outward church systems, but I do recognise that those systems do have their place in society by design
Distinctions are very important for those who are given the job of seeing the distinctions and to bring it to awareness of their own brethren, who are on a similar “wavelength”
Gal 5:1**Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Gal 5:2**Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Gal 5:3**For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Gal 5:13**For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Gal 5:14**For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Gal 5:15**But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Gal 5:19**Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20**Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21**Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22**But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23**Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24**And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
We are actually all brethren at the individual level, but we also have extra inherited responsibilities because of the systemic/organisational/structural that is necessary/needed, but what is needed will vary based on the current time and season
