I will leave it to you to imply to the whole world that you have no relationship with Christ

I have faith in Christ. He is my Lord and my God. Inasmuch as He was Incarnate fully Man, I am related to Him in human nature. As a Man, he was perfect and I am not. Inasmuch as He is fully God, His essence is unlike anything that was created. Inasmuch as His love for me and all of humanity is concerned, mine is so minuscule compared to His that it would be arrogant and pretentious to call it a "relationship." Inasmuch as His gift and sacrifice is concerned, mine is next to nothing in comparison. I worship Him, and I love Him, imperfectly as it may be.

No, I don't have a relaitonship with Christ. Just faith in Him.

I have never heard this view before and did not know it was part of the EOC. I stand corrected. Amazed, but corrected. :)
