If this was the meaning then why is there so much dispute?
I would say this is a fundamental divide between Paul and the early church fathers.
Paul opens his letters Gods Holy people, but I have not read this language with the
later believers.
I myself would not say I am Holy, because it is not language I am used to or
can picture. But Paul is saying that is what we are.
Something strange happens in our spirits when we accept who we are in Christ.
G7 keeps on saying we are born into the Kingdom at new birth, Holy, perfect,
righteous, complete. He talks that we should recognise our position in Christ
and walk in it.
So let me embrace this spiritual reality. Oh but I am not to embrace it, because
I am not the one who is really born again. But then they also are not embracing
it because they are failed sinners who cannot realise the words.
So someone is lying about what they believe, faking a position with words and
then decrying its reality when someone realises what Christ is saying to us.
Who is the father of lies? The one who creates images and illusions, but when
you walk in them denies the very same thing they claimed was true.
It is the nature of mirages, the goal is out of reach, never to be obtained but always
hoped for. But the enemy will and is defeated, and Gods people will overcome and
walk in Christs ways. This was foreseen from eternity to eternity.
