Re: What is God's Economy?
God’s economy is God’s plan, God’s arrangement, for God to dispense Himself in His element, life, nature, and attributes, and all that He has achieved and attained into His chosen people that they may be rebuilt by being constituted with the divine essence in the divine element of the divine source to be something divine. Before receiving God’s dispensing, we were merely human. After God’s rebuilding with the divine constitution we, like the Lord Jesus, become divinely human and humanly divine. Before incarnation Christ was only divine, but after His incarnation He became a God-man, a man with the divine nature. Now He is divinely human, and He is also humanly divine. Having been regenerated by Christ, we have become a part of Him, and now we are the same as He is—divinely human and humanly divine.
(Life-study of Job, pp. 57-58)
I'm not sure when the Life Study of Job was....but whatever happened to "Hallelujah eating Jesus is the way!"? No wonder the Training banners kept getting longer and longer. "rebuilt by being constituted with the divine essence in the divine element of the divine source to be something divine"? Wow, I'm out of breath just reading this! Very novel. Very interesting. Not very biblical.
"and now we are the same as He is"? I think there is a verse that says that "we will be like Him"....but how did this get transformed to "we are the same as He is". Sounds like quite a leap. "Divinely human and humanly divine"? Very novel. Very interesting. Not very biblical.
