Chapter and verse for that please?
What about the verses that state that Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven?
Don't they count for anything?
Greeting metmom!

Chapter and verse for that please?”
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Certainly they do! The present ministry of Christ is twofold.
1-Resurrection Power
2-Crucifixion Suffering
Phil 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.
The danger is rejecting one or the other. One of the great sins of Evangelical Christianity is its rejection of the current ministry of the crucifixion of Christ in the life of the saved Christian.
Roman Catholicism is one of the very few Christian faiths that embrace the crucifixion of Christ and its important ministry in the everyday life of the believer.
