I am sorry you don’t understand. That simple fact is clear evidence that you don’t understand the close relationship we who put our faith in Jesus can have, indeed are expected to have, with a gracious and loving God.
Firstly I would simply suggest you avail yourself of Jesus presence and ask Him. I will let a passage from a book by Franz Theremin to give you an idea from which you can investigate.
Franz Theremin (1780-1846) in his book The Confession of Adalbert (1828) One of the key scenes occurs in Letter #35 (pp. 191- 204), where he corresponds with his spiritual adviser (Steindorf) about the nature of the Christian’s encounter with Jesus.
Has not Christ promised to be with us, even till the end of the world; and to be in the midst of us when two or three are assembled in his name? And after such promises, shall we consider him as at a distance, or as near and present? Has not Christ promised that he will come with the Father and take up his abode with those that love him; and may I not speak of holding converse with him, when he has spoken of a dwelling in us, which implies something infinitely more and a connection much more close and intimate? Did not the Apostle hold such a converse with him, when he besought him to take away the thorn in the flesh, under which he was suffering, and was immediately enjoined by the Lord to let his grace suffice him? Did he not necessarily hold such a converse with him, in order to be able to say, ‘I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me?’ Does he not enjoin the maintenance of this fellowship with Christ upon those to whom he wrote, when he says, “Your life is hid with Christ in God?” And does the beloved disciple, who lay upon the bosom of Jesus, not only whilst the latter sojourned here upon earth, but also after he had departed hence — does John intend anything else when he represents the Lord as knocking at the door, ready, if any one open it, to enter in and sup with him?”
>> where is that per sola scriptura?<<
Don’t start the nonsense with sola scriptura as if it’s solo scriptura. Sola scriptura simply means that if it can not be verified by scripture it is not to be taken as doctrine. Trying to pervert the meaning is demeaning to the accuser.
And you reply back with proof that is NOT in the Bible -- I thought you were a Bible ALONE guy?
Where's the proof IN the Bible for your "God is my bosom buddy" kind of statement?
Oohh... really -- so then why do you not accept the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist or Baptism for the Remission of Sins?
Lutherans hold to this too -- why don't you?
THE WHOLE PURPOSE
OF THE CROSS AND THE PRICELESS UNFATHOMABLE DEATH OF THE GOD WHO LOVES US ON THAT CROSS
WAS AND IS FOR
Intimacy such that the celebratory sexual intercoarse of ideal friends and lovers in marriage is labeled a type, a symbol, a metaphor for Christ's love for/intimacy with His Body--The Church.
That's no ethereal--spiritualized hands and gazes across the 'spiritual plane'/'spiritual galactic cluster' nonsense.
THAT'S KNOWING and BEING KNOWN INTENSELY INTIMATELY.
Writing about such otherwise smacks of less intimacy and less reality in relationships than at a formal diplomatic tea at Buckingham Palace between the Queen and the Queenly despised Mrs Michelle Othuga.
God have mercy!
