***As you see it. I will not argue with you about something you haven’t experienced.***

The problem with the concept of the indwelling Holy Spirit as proclaimed by the enlightened ones of the Reformation is that this is exactly what was proclaimed by the enlightened Gnostics.

Reformation theology makes no sense; neither does the indwelling if compared to the indwelling of the clinically insane. God certainly does indwell the believers; yet the like of Charles Manson claims indwelling.

To sneeringly claim that one will not argue about an experience that one has not, well, experienced, is silly. It does not convince. It does not follow.

It is, however, Gnostic. Does that please you?

No, but then again, you never have. Call me when you have the Spirit. You’ll know.
