Well amen to that. It has a crystal ring to it ... of my local church days, when I was idealistic to a fault.
But mystically I'm still one with that. There's nothing wrong with the universal cosmic Christ. Such as found in the gospel that came to be called John. Or that appeared to Saul, on the road to Damascus, and from thence used his Roman name Paul, prolly to better reach the pagan gentiles.
But anyway, aside from the delights in "I have Christ, I have everything," which are abundant, and not to be dismissed, the issue I have is how that works in actual life. "How's that workin' for you," as Dr. Phil would say.
From what I have seen, which I agree hint much, Christ doesn't seem to actually be everything. The universal cosmic Christ doesn't, as I've seen more than once, for instance, cure homosexuality.
But I don't see the big picture that God is seeing. A born again homosexual, that continues to live that life style may very well go to heaven. After all, Christ died for him or her, as much as for me/us.
I'm not vexed with homosexuality. Thank God. I'm vexed with heterosexuality ... which is harder, perchance methinks.
We're all vexed in some way, surely. And that's why, maybe, "I have Christ I have everything" rings with a crystal ring to me ... when I'm quiet and hopefully listening to that still small voice.
So amen bro Ohio ... sing it out ... "I have Christ I have everything."
