Of course taking such an approach yields "nonsense", but it is how sonship manages to hold onto his beliefs.
I will take a much simpler approach today. I will simply ask you and Rajk999 if Jesus Christ abides in you.
And why not? This is the direct approach Paul used.
" Test yourselves whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or do you not realize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disapproved? " (2 Cor. 13:5)
I fully realize that Jesus Christ is in me. I past the test. How about you and Rajk999 ?
Oh, I also am aware that I am continuing in the life long process of learning to walk in Him and keep His commandments - following His leading.
So do either of you - Rajk9999 or ThinkofOne have the clarity and courage to confess that Jesus Christ lives in you ?
Or will you make excuses for not having that assurance ? Will either of you two "cobble together" various and sundry excuses to cloak the uncertainty you have that Jesus Christ has taken up an abode in you ?
Let's see how you answer this simple approach. Let's see also how long a time you need to muster up the guts to give me a simple answer.
