Meta-tation:
Only 'God' knows hearts, and is truly 'omniscient' in the greater infinite and ultimate sense
This is why I am 'label-less' here as 'Other', and do NOT identify as a 'Christian (anything)' as I have in the past. I no longer chose to affiliate with the definitions and assumptions of what the label 'Christian' were and are being defined as (on this board particularly), as I found them incompatible with my natural (by God and Nature)
free spirit, since I see myself as
already and always free in the Spirit. Spirit itself is life, and the Spirit of God in me, is the pure life, energy, light and consciousness that is ever-availing and all-radiant.
I AM
- (this is that pure conscious light in which all and everything has its existence, which is also that 'word-symbol' signifying the pure essense of knowing, which is at the heart of my own being, hence 'I AM' is the very ID-entity of my own being, the One Universal Being that sustains all expressions of itself, in time and space)
As I rest in the underlying and all-supporting anchor of the 'I AM' Presence, that anchor or spirit of God at the center of my being, is the core-reality, of which everything else is but the offspring.
In any case,....mortals arguing or contending over the qualifications of a religious label which itself is packed with so many prefigured assumptions may be more or less trivial or petty in the backdrop of the greater infinite reality that renders our mortal knowledge as ignorance in the light of all that we do not know, while holding onto little morsels of knowledge and calling it perfect or complete, which it is far from
But coming back to the 'logos' of God in some form or divine power
coming upon Jesus, what about it?
All that matters is that 'God' was working in and THRU the Lord Jesus, making him 'lord' and 'Christ', by that divine anointing of power UPON, IN & THRU him,....that is all that matters, by unction and function. Those who receive the revelation of God thru the Lord Jesus, and by such intimate union of faith in him and the One who sent him, partake of the Living Christ, and are transformed, renewed, regenerated by that WORD. - slice and dice it as you please, this can all be had effectively thru a Unitarian Christology as any other. If one chooses a Trinitarian formule for the 'Godhead', they are free to do so, and sometimes people change their views over time and with more and better information.
One doesn't need to cram Jesus into a Trinitarian Godhead for Jesus to be all that the Adoptionist view presents him to be, which are well afforded and attested to in the scriptures. That I can see, receive, engage and commune with 'God' thru the Lord JESUS, is all that is essential, here and now, as a spiritual indwelling and communication, sustained by a living faith in his divine Sonship, which naturally adopts us into God's family as 'sons'. Hereby we enjoy a collective Sonship
