Excellent discussion, Wyatt — the biblically sound theological narrative of the Son’s work leading to fulfillment through the ascention. In fact, the Son’s acknowledgment started at the “Beginning”, which is the the meaning of “Berisheet”…In (the ) beginning. בְּרֵאשִׁית. Parsing this word letter by letter, it reveals — “When you sound out all the letters in Berasheet, it says, “The head of the house [and we just learned, buried within Berisheet’s first three letters, are two words, “Son” and “Creator”] is destroyed [willingly] by His own hand on a cross.” By, Compass International inc.
So, yes, The Son is infinitely inescapable, and I appreciate the connection and justification of the ascension in greater depth; as well the trinitarian synopsis — often taken for granted.
The Father directs, the Son rules, and the Spirit empowers — absolutely.
When you speak of the Church I think in terms of the theological Universal Church encompassing the “true” Local Western Churches. Without that distinction they have been inherently, “spiritually”, disjointed; albeit there are numerous local true Assemblies gathering in Christ, I have the impression that they are a minority at best as we head toward the end of time. If we take Luke 9:49-50, for example: “John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us.” But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you.”
I believe these differences were negligible; whereas in these last days the differences are vast. Patrick most assuredly is walking in the Spirit.
Thanks, Wyatt
Thanks for the encouragement, Mark!
My absolute pleasure, brother — the thing I love about this communication is that we are honest with each other, and yet our rapport is in true Christian love. Not much else matters to me.
