2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
Your religion could not exist were it not for the scriptures, just as izlam could not exist without the Koran or the Mormans without Joe Smith's book...
But yet the scriptures are such a mystery to you guys...You're quick to point out that many veses don't mean what they say but then you're completely silent on what you think they do mean...
The verse says soul AND spirit as contrasted with joints AND marrow...Must be joints and marrow are the same thing as well in your world, eh???
Blah, blah, blah...the Greek word used "to indwell" means to influence; it doesn't mean there is God living in side of you. Rest assured: you have not been hijacked by the Holy Spirit.

That is a pretty ignorant statement given the fact that the Church existed before the New Testament was written. Your grasp of things seems to be in reverse arrangement.

The Church would say that God is a mystery that no man can grasp. It is only natural that what is revealed in scriptures is no less of a mystery if not magic.

Why should I rewrite what the Church wrote for almost the last 2,000 years and can be found in any Catholic or Orthodox catechism? Do your own homework.
But if you insist, you may ask what I personally think and I will gladly tell you what and why.
