Which is the reality that the following scripture verse is speaking to...
1 John 3:2... "Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We know that if He is manifested, we will be like Him because we will see Him even as He is."
To "...see Him..." is akin to our eating Him.

Steel, since you said "But according to scripture..." could you please list some of those scriptures which speak to spending time before the Lord and considering the Lord causing us to be like Him? I am not challenging the concept, just would like to see some verses. As an aside, "considering" is something we do with our minds and yet the LC seems to put our mind as being at odds with our spirit (which no doubt can happen but I do not believe the mind/spirit relationship to be exactly as the LC puts forth).
Also, what support do you have for the statement to "'...see Him...' is akin to our eating Him."? 1 John 3:2 does not hint at the aspect of "eating" Christ.
