(This* is one unexpected difference I find with him, and, perhaps, other Christians: I am, as near as I am capable of being, certain that the Spirit of God is within each man (and woman, of course), even if veiled (as the Soul may be stained); I accept that the turning-point to its unveiling (and the unstaining of the Soul) is by Christ. There is some support for the Spirit of God in Man (whom I distinguish, in aspect only, from God the Spirit, in or as God) in Ecclesiates XII:6-7.** But to this man, and to others, there is no Spirit of God in Man at all until Jesus Christ enters his life.)***

*[See last previous entry, final para.]

**[Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

(Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 (King James Version))]

***{This can be explained as a difference of emphasis – by me, but not by him.}
