I actually reached the same conclusion you did through the same metaphor of parent/child relationships, but with one addition. <br />God indwells us. The point is not to figure out the line where God stops and we start, the point is that we are constantly drawn closer to becoming one. It's not "I make this choice/do this and God makes that choice/does that" it's that God and I can choose and do everything together. <br />Maybe that sounds like mind-merge, or maybe that sounds like being conformed into the image of Christ. <br /> ~ racheljoyklasRachel Joy Klasnoreply@blogger.com
