Your perspective is self-contradicting, but I doubt seriously that you could see that even as folks are pointing it out to you. The biggest clue is the temporal mystery. I tried to point it out to you in such a way that you could ‘discover’ the nuance, but you don’t want to see it. So, one more time, Who is within the human spirit transforming the believer (that might read better as ‘faither’) by the renewing of your mind? It is isn’t done from the outside, it is done from the inside to the outside, as Paul wrote ‘It is He who is within you, to will and to do of His good pleasure.’ He doesn’t go into dirty places and dwell, but He dwells within the believer’s spirit beginning when we first believe. THAT is the mystery of Godliness, FRiend, that God sprinkles the Mercy seat of your spirit and comes IN to dwell with you as His new creation.

I'm pretty sure i said the exact same things in different words in post 215. I would be interested to know on what scriptures you're basing your thoughts here.
