But but but . . . . Four crucified!

We, humans, tend to look up, literally and figuratively, to taller people. We associate height with leadership simply due to height. We move UP the corporate ladder. A judge in a courtroom often had a higher position, they look down others look up. I'm sure there's some symbolism there in Christ's ascension UP. At least the psychology behind it.

You notice in that equation, it appears Christ's relation to The Word is a function of other people?

Window washing should shine light on things. In principle (IP) The Word = Plate Spinning Got it. Maybe. May have to adjust the equation. Again.

I think I've been clear on this thread already that "The Word" has distorted meaning. As does spiritual. We can't just carry on as if people understand each other.

ahh . . . I was palm reading the Book of Life . . . based on the number of classes you've taken and the years active I can see your future

And the "Word" is what exactly? Please use your verbal skills.

That's why you had to wait for STS/SNS each week before forming an opinion on current events . . . Needed to know what was "spiritually going on" from the MOGFART. It's a Great Principle (GP).

Okay . . . this "spiritual" understanding . . . fantasy.

Yes

Actually my earliest memories include people talking about how The Fog is happening and how much people know about not knowing The Fog is happening. You do realize that even in giving a simple history, you are showing the idea that those closer to VPW are higher in the pecking order?

"Couple this with the introductory paragraph I gave you from p.207, and it's progressing to SEE JESUS that he’s urging with us OLGs to do. It’s for other grads too." I'm guessing the last letter stands for "grads" . . . this is a special color of nametag

Not only are you still separating JC and The Word, you're equating the "works" of VPW, PFAL, to The Word. The 1942 snow was NOT The Comforter. You're saying, "No no no, Christ is not absent, YOU are mistaken. . . . So anyway PFAL is The Word . . . focus on what VPW's 'original intent' . . ." The Bible and PFAL are inanimate objects. Inanimate objects are DEAD. The Dead are NOT Alive. Or, ARE the Dead Alive Now?

yeah, if The Word IS Christ than the Renewed Mind to the The Word is actually saying focus on Christ *rubs head*

Today, Jesus Christ is seated in the heavenlies at God’s own right hand, functioning as the head of the Church of the Body, as it says in Ephesians 1; but he did not leave his role on earth unattended. He delegated to born-again believers the power and authority to carry out his works, and greater, in his stead. It’s now our joy to assume this responsibility and represent him with all confidence. One of the powerful ways we can act in Christ’s stead is by reconciling men and women back to God. II Corinthians 5 tells us about our ministry of reconciliation. During Jesus Christ’s ministry on this earth, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Today the work of reconciling men and women to God is not the work of Christ but the work of born-again believers, who have been given the Word and the ministry of reconciliation. We are ambassadors for the Lord Jesus Christ, and we have the joy of reconciling others to God in Christ’s stead. We do this with God’s Word and with His power. Before Jesus Christ ascended to the right hand of God, he set the vision for those of us in the Church of the Body today to be witnesses unto him. The power of the gift of holy spirit gives us the ability to accomplish this vision of being witnesses unto him…unto the uttermost part of the earth. We have Christ in us, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). We have the potential of Christ’s heart, commitment, and ability to reach others with God’s powerful Word of deliverance. We can lead men and women to a personal relationship with God via His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:6). We can teach them how to become born again of God’s spirit and have eternal life (Romans 10:9,10). We can pray with people, using the powerful name of Jesus Christ to claim God’s promises (John 14:14). We can help men and women not be tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14,15). We can believe for signs, miracles, and wonders (Mark 16:17,18), and more. What a joy we’ve been afforded to represent the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth, to carry out the works he did while here, and greater. Every day we can awake with enthusiasm and excitement to take the place of the absent Christ, reconciling men and women back to God in Christ’s stead. Christ and The Word have to separated (when they should be equated) to insert The Law of Believing? TWI wants to transfer Christ's authority to the individual? By "delegating". The Renewed Mind to the Word (which is now NOT Christ) . . . puts an effort on an individual that probably shouldn't be there . . (my head hurts . . . hold on)

https://thewayinternational.com/reconciling-others-in-christs-stead/ Born-again believers have been given the tremendous opportunity of representing the Lord Jesus Christ and carrying out the works he did while he was on earth, and greater works. Today, Jesus Christ is seated in the heavenlies at God’s own right hand, functioning as the head of the Church of the Body, as it says in Ephesians 1; but he did not leave his role on earth unattended.

"What a joy we’ve been afforded to represent the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth, to carry out the works he did while here, and greater." Another example of TWI telling the individual what to feel.

TWI is not to be understood in terms of administrations and personnal acronyms. Subversion interprets itself. YOU are NOT defining Christ or The Word the way the vast majority of humans in history have done so. Nor have you presented your view on the outset concerning this matter. Your responses are entirely reflexive.

"nodding in approval" is the pre-social media "like button"

Here's the link, AGAIN https://thewayinternational.com/reconciling-others-in-christs-stead/

I just posted an article from The Way International's website, an article from 2022. "Every day we can awake with enthusiasm and excitement to take the place of the absent Christ, reconciling men and women back to God in Christ’s stead." This "Absent Christ" idea persists in spite of any memory of any book you may have.

Now you're calling upon fantasy, the spirit realm, to explain whatever gap you need to feel in control of. "During Jesus Christ’s ministry on this earth, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Today the work of reconciling men and women to God is not the work of Christ but the work of born-again believers, who have been given the Word and the ministry of reconciliation. We are ambassadors for the Lord Jesus Christ, and we have the joy of reconciling others to God in Christ’s stead. We do this with God’s Word and with His power." The Word takes the place of the Absent Christ. . . . according to TWI On the contrary, Christ is The Word. In which case TWI logic makes no sense.

It's simple wordplay. We are here IN STEAD OF CHRIST. The rest of the article I posted makes that abundantly above all that we could ask or think clear.

"most students were absent from school at least once" preposition FORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN (of an expression or manner) showing that someone is not paying attention to what is being said or done. "she looked up with an absent smile"

"Today, Jesus Christ is seated in the heavenlies at God’s own right hand, functioning as the head of the Church of the Body, as it says in Ephesians 1; but he did not leave his role on earth unattended. He delegated to born-again believers the power and authority to carry out his works, and greater, in his stead. It’s now our joy to assume this responsibility and represent him with all confidence." Christ left earth, he's not here, so . . . . absent.
