Paradoxes

To many there might seem as the Bible is full of contradictions and paradoxes. However, as the HS illuminate the word the believer begins to see how everything aligns, how the old testament contains shadows and allegories of what were to come.

Even so, there still remain some paradoxes which can only be acknowledged and understood by faith. That we are both two persons in one and at the same time being two persons is a mystery. The Christian life can only be lived from a position of oneness, that is, a union with Christ where He is a perfect expression of himself through us. Dan Stone puts it like this: “You are the expression of Him in your own unique humanity.” This includes everything we are and do because it isn’t about doing good or evil - feeding from the tree of good and evil - it is about doing the truth, which is Christ as/in us. “But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God." (John 3:21)

On the other hand it is impossible to have a relation with yourself only. We were created for relations and a relation requires at least two persons. In this position you can talk to God, He talks to you and you can experience His embrace of love which empowers you to love Him back.

Ole Hendrick, You have a revelation that is so special. He talks to us, we can hear him, We talk to Him and He hears us. The rselut is: "In this position you can talk to God, He talks to you and you can experience His embrace of love which empowers you to love Him back."
