This thread is on Jesus "flowing through " people.

Divegeester pointed out that the NT does say Jesus abides in people.
This is true. But this abiding Jesus is also a moving Jesus. The spontaneity of which this life moves within the receiver is described as a flow.

Romans 8 speaks of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus as having a law. That is a law of its life. The outworking of this innate law of the life of Christ seems like a flow. It seems like a current or flow because the law is so automatic.

It is a liberating current. It is a freedom inducing transmission and so elsewhere that moving is described as a flow.

Here is where Paul speaks of that abiding life as having a law.

"For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death." (Rom. 8;2 RcV)

King James Version would render it like this:

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

It is saying that the divine life in Christ Jesus has a spontaneous and innate characteristic. And He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with the indwelling Lord. So when the mind is set on that joined spirit (with His Spirit) within, His life "flows".

There is plenty of ground in the Bible to speak of Jesus flowing through people.

"Indeed a King will reign . . . a man will be . . . like streams of water in a dry place." (Isaiah 32:1,2)

We believe that King and that Man is Jesus the Son of God.
Jesus flows as streams in a dry place. And Jesus reigns as Lord and King.

Now, if you want to claim that you have no such experience of such a Person or matter, that's different. You won't diminish the joy of some of us who experience Christ in this way. And we see ample ground for our experience in the word of God.

Where in this thread or in any other post did I write -
"Break the commandments of Christ" ?

@divegeester

Would you reflect back over the years. And direct me to any thread in which you wrote rather extensively about Jesus ABIDING in people?

Why?

Divegeester,

You say a flowing Jesus is not in the text of the Bible.
You say an abiding Jesus IS in the text of the Bible.

I assume you have no such experience of any "flowing" Jesus.
But since an "abiding" Jesus is in the Bible, would you tell us of your
experience about Jesus abiding in you?

I can speak of either a flowing Jesus or an abiding Jesus.
But its you that is being asked to write.
If you have nothing, just admit that you have nothing on Jesus abiding other than you see that in the words of the Bible.

@sonship said
Why not?

Can we learn something about the abiding of Jesus Christ in people from you?

"Flowing" has its problems for you. Well where have you spoken much to the matter of Christ abiding in anyone ?

To those still open to hear about the flowing of God as living water.

Good to see you posting things that are only found outside of the Bible.
