I would like to hear more of your take on Ephesians 4:6.
You say “God can and does indwell his people, but not by blending or mixing the finite with the infinite…”
Is that not exactly what happened when Jesus took on flesh? Isn’t His life a “template” pointing to the beginning of all things?
[We receive "his Spirit" in our "jars of clay."]
Wouldn’t His bodily resurrection suggest that the emphasis shouldn’t be to conceptualize our bodies as “jars of clay”, but rather new (presumably eternal) “wine skins” (referencing Lk. 5:38).
If so, might that be a template for the whole (physical) world? 🌍
