“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:4

The author is talking about imitating Christ’s virtues and becoming an earthly icon of his grace. He’s not talking in a New Age fashion.

I don’t understand what you are getting at. I don’t cotton to any New Age nonsense.

What I am referring to in my situation has to do with being vilified due to my stance on a drug addled minister at the church I belonged to and losing a relationship to an attack by a conspiracy of those fueled by Satan.

Agonizing. Did this torture help my relationship with God? Yes, I had nowhere to turn except God and no relief from any human source.
