@JustBusiness17 Thats hard to communicate - because He I have seen Him work - heard His voice to lead - felt His touch to move - but I don't know that i have ever smelled Him... then, of course - there is the Spirit - who communicates through indescribable ways - combining all 6 senses like a orchestra playing its passage...

@christoferL Can anything in that description be taken literally? It sounds more like a poem than anything truly meaningful...

Let me ask you this, have you ever used any of the 5 senses to communicate with Christ. Sight, sound, touch, taste, smell? If not, how do you communicate?

@JustBusiness17 My relationship with Christ is like that of a father to a son, a brother to a brother, student to His master... He lives in me and through me and through all that is. He holds everything to together and allows all things to fall apart... He is the light and the Way - a voice that speaks to the heart - He is empowering and uplifting. Loving and forgiving. bold and beautiful. He is the One who accepts my despite myself because I am humbled by His Gospel - eternally grateful

@christoferL Well I'm not going to go looking through 500 videos looking for a particular instance when you clearly articulate what your "relationship with Christ" consists of. Implied I was "selling short your relationship with Christ" and I'm curious what that even means.

If you can't describe it, that's fine. It just strengthens my belief that the phrase is nothing more than an irrational construct which lacks any significant meaning. Sorry for selling short your self induced goose bumps!

@JustBusiness17 I dunno - there isn't much point in them - and the answers to your questions are in abundance throughout my videos...

@christoferL Anxiety? Cognitive dissonance? Why no response to my responses?

[JustBusiness17]

@JustBusiness17 I was serious about that question. It seems to me, "relationship with Christ" has abstract meaning attached to it beyond what we would normally ascribe to the word 'relationship'. From observing others who use this phrase, they are usually describing something completely benign like the thoughts evoked while reading the bible or an appreciation for nature... How do you define "relationship with Christ"?

[JustBusiness17]

@christoferL I can't really comment on religious jargon. Language manipulation and "in-group" thinking are a nasty hurdle to jump for an outsider. How do you define "relationship with Christ"?

[christoferL]

@JustBusiness17 don't sell short my relationship with Christ...

Wow... You're almost an atheist. Welcome to the world of critical thinking.  A few more steps and you'll question the authority of the bible itself ;)
