To: Mad Dawg; John Leland 1789
John Leland 1789 starts the game by saying that "co-" means "equal. We come up with many many examples where "co-" is used to me "junior" [...] Then you chip in with "Whatever 'co-' means it's wrong.

It was my purpose to disabuse you of the notion I had quoted from your previous post:

The language offends them, and they prize their offence over any attempts to explain or to provide context.
It is not that we 'prize our offense', but that your proofs are, and will always be, insufficient in your attempt to dislodge that which is certainly true: That Christ alone redeems us, and that no other shares in His glory.

(A view which Colossians 1:24 might lead one to question, by the way.)

Please do tell:

Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
(e-Sword: KJV)

it's about "driving them nuts".

Not at all... That's just a bonus.

The “prize their offence” line was mine, not someone else’s.

To sum up, if I understand you, then, no part of the Body of Christ has any share in Christ’s glory?
