Here is what I want to earnestly say. If I get in my car and drive through town, I am going to pass a dozen or so churches. And, I could spend years pouring over syntax of creeds, doctrines, heresies, inquisitions and history's martyrs over these... as these same disputes over doctrines have been married to agendas and empires all in the name of Christ.

Consider this statement:
“To introduce any sort of separation between the Word and Jesus Christ is contrary to the Christian faith... Jesus is the Incarnate Word — a single and indivisible person...”

Who said it? Pope John Paul II, quoted in the document Dominus Iesis.

Any sort of separation? Like... a Pope? or... a Priest? or... ‘the Catechism’, Vatican II, or... a Magisterium... or a Council?... or a Creed?

What gives me pause... in the most sincere manner is that Jesus said many shall say “Lord, Lord” and he will say “Depart from me... I never knew you.” We are to be seeking and entering in that narrow gate, and are told that few will find it. What a humbling statement. So, I’m seeking Him... by way of his Word that he left for us as bread.

I am struck by this:
2Cr 4:6 -- For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

And I believe that many seek his face and are caught in the snare of their own device and understanding, and that it is only Jesus who reveals his identity to us by the Holy Spirit.

He came in the very image we creatures so highly esteem.... the image of man... the image of us, our ‘selves.’ And then he took on the heap of everything the image of man is due.... and flesh was crucified, and He conquered sin and death for us. In following him, we must lose our self and seek his face.

Rev 19:16
And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
