I cor 13
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Revelation 3:20 ESV
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Note: in context the last verse was written to Christians, not non-believers.
The above texts show that our relationship with Jesus is personal. And, that glass darkly has to do with not knowing ourselves fully.
Right, when the perfect has come. Don't you know at that time they had all the gospels, the epistles AND the apostles there to teach them what they meant, so "the perfect" wasn't the Word. It tells you what it meant at the end of the chapter - when we see God face to face LITERALLY! Do you believe in the second coming of Christ? THAT IS WHEN THE PERFECT COMES.
