We haven’t officially met, but I’m Auxmos 🤝

Long time follower of Jesus here with my 2 sats:

I think the Church’s inability to identify with what you’re describing here is its greatest issue currently. I’ve come to identify the issue as a sacred // real divide. (Or a sacred // physical 🌍 divide). Let me explain:

When I hear you say “…the truth that god is within all of us and makes up all of creation” I hear Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ “…one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

When I hear you say “…we are all parts of the whole…” I hear 1 Corinthians 12:12 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.”

With that said, properly orienting yourself in the midst of this God swirl 🌀 is entirely contingent upon your proper orientation with the “head” of the body, namely Jesus.

I believe the churches inability to identify with what you’re feeling in your physical body and in the physical world around you is due to the Church’s emphasis of explicitly spiritual (ethereal) matters unto the neglect of the physical (worldly) matters.

I actually believe this is the chief issue the Church needs to overcome in order to understand the significance of #Bitcoin. I’ve actually written a paper recently tailored for the local Church unpacking this idea to help them understand #Bitcoin.

To take an excerpt from that paper:

“Our physical bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, and in Him the whole world holds together. It’s not obvious that our bodies are simply earthen vessels just as it’s not obvious that the world is just an object. He is in all and through all, and that’s exactly the point. The Lord is concerned with the “physical” order of things, especially as it pertains to the freedom of His people.”

Said differently, the Church has good theology for why Jesus had to come as a man, but we do not have good theology for why he is still a man.
