Im not sure if you would classify "christ consciousness" as a gnostic concept, i think ive heard that before though...However i think its a biblical concept..i think its possible to become Christ like.. to become perfect. Some may say " thats impossible", however i sincerely think that is our high calling..to be without spot or blemish..i can expound on a later message and add more scripture to back up my reasoning for thinking it is possible..All i really wanted for this thread was to see what other christians thought about the possibility of completely becoming Christ in our lifetime. Thanks for any replys

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Although I do agree that we should be able to stop sinning, as the letters of John insist we should...
I don't like the last statementof yours, where you say "completely becoming Christ in our lifetime." God will forever be Father, Son, and holy Spirit, there will never be any additions our subtractions from God.
However, we are his children if we have holy Spirit within us, living in us.
Never the less, I believe that we can submit to the spirit of Jesus within us evermore perfectly if we learn to submit constantly to his control, the gift of the Spirit within us. We are like human vessels who are sanctified by the Spirit of God. Thus without his Spirit we are just human. We are never holy apart from God in us. Again, I believe as we grow in constant submission to the spirit of Jesus within us, we can be almost exactly like Emmanuel, Christ, the human who had emptied himself of all his innate Logos powers, and relied on Father and holy Spirit to empower him.
It is enough, and beyond all imagination how wonderful it is for us, to be made holy by Christ's redemptive acts. It is enough that we are God's begotten children who will one day live eternally in his presence filled with his divine life. But striving to submit to the Righteousness of God, who is Jesus Christ himself, is our calling and duty.
