Wow, Jon. u is saying exactly the same thing which I teach. That is exactly the truth. I am so thankful to finally see someone else who understands this great truth.
That is great.....the stone was the law. That is a marvelous revelation. That is exactly the truth....Jesus is working now to bring more sons into this image of God. As we are baptized into his body, via the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2 style, then we become new creatures in Christ. We are the female who was created on day six. (not the one made from the dust of the ground rib of Adam).
But it is not complete until we do as Jesus did....come out of that grave in a glorified body.
Then we will be sons of God in the image of God. Now we are sons of God in the image of his son.
It is an ongoing thing. It will not be complete until Jesus returns and sets up his kingdom on earth. Then all of his saints will be changed into the glorified image of God.
