If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that...
Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)
And there are three varieties...
Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma
Mental E/c2 - Mentally, A mathematical formula, but this has chemical and spiritual properties as well.
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)
When a Christian experienced Christ he should have also experienced a spiritual energy and light. This energy can dissipate away into something else if we are not careful.
I was at youth conference decades ago and I made reference to, "the devil in church people." One man in particular argued that the devil could not penetrate the blood of the lamb and actually took steps to make it bad for me at conference.
Years later, at camp meeting, he looks me up and apologizes. I have often wondered what the poor man went through to understand that yes, sometimes the devil can work through church people and give them evil spirits in the process.
If I could go back to that time I would have been more crafty and subtle in my answering. By just opening my mouth and blurting out about the "devil in church people" was not being crafty and subtle. I would have thought my thoughts out more before just blurting them out. This is the case with Paul. He was trying to deal with the craftiness of sin in church people and had to use an approach in dealing with it.
