We’re not mystics! Everything we believe is completely explainable and can be easily rationalized. For goodness sake, it’s all written down so our faith can be read like a textbook. Who are all these crazy christians that believe our faith can best experienced in living in the mystical realities of this world. I mean, who would think this is mystical at all:
* The sovereign God sent His son to the planet to live a perfect life as completely man and completely divine
* God has His son killed as atonement for the sins of every man to come
* Anyone who receives Jesus, to those who believe in his name, they can become children of the divine. They can become heirs to this divine kingdom. (did I forget to mention that there was a divine kingdom that is continually expanding)
* Those who receive Jesus are born-again and will not suffer eternal punishment in a Lake of Fire. However, they will live forever and receive the Holy Spirit.
* The Holy Spirit is a person that lives inside of them, and speaks to them. Thru this person that speaks them, they can overcome sin, live with power and courage, and perform miracles.
* I forgot to mention that those with the Holy Spirit have a divine connection with God that allows them to speak directly with him, thru Jesus, anytime they want. AND, God speaks back to them
Na — there’s noting mystical about that, is there? All rational, everyday stuff.
