BTW. "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. But . . ." was not stated as something to be experiencing. It was provided as a factual basis for rejecting the need to engage in activities to be spiritual. In that case, circumcision and other Jewish ritual law. How much are we influenced by Lee saying that we need to be experiencing the crucifixion of Christ rather than recognizing that it is true and then acting accordingly?

And how many other of these spiritual formulas that we learned are similar misapplications of what Paul and others provided as spiritual fact, not ritual to be undertaken for the purpose of experience? How much of it is our continuing to look at the Bible through a set of Lee-colored glasses that we have merely rubbed some of the color out of?

I keep finding that I have a variant set around. And when I find them, they are usually setting on my ears and nose.
