"...which is CHRIST IN YOU the hope of glory." Col. 1:27.

Doesn't that make us all arks of the covenant?

After all,

1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 6:19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Since Christ is living in me now, how does that make me any different than Mary who merely had Christ living in her in a body for only a few months.

That’s how I read it, too, metmom. AND we are sealed unto the day of redemption. We also have that promise. And all by God’s grace. That we might be to the praise of HIS GLORY.

RnMomof7: The ark is a type of CHRIST

Metmom (reply to a different post of Rn's): Doesn't that make us all arks of the covenant?

Take those two statements -- now either you, M, disagree with R's first statement or if you agree, then, your logic states that "us all" are types of Christ. Is that your logic, M?

Without much effort, I could make that an argument for a sinless Mary, though probably not in the way that Catholics would like to see it. Consider this: Since the regenerate take on the Righteousness of Christ and his sinlessness, He can then dwell within us.

No, we are the temple of the living God. The Ark was not the temple and we do not hold the actual physical Word that the Ark bore, nor do we carry the Bread of Life, nor the staff.

The New Testament tells us our bodies are a temple. Not the same as the Ark of which there have only been two, the Ark of the Covenant and the Ark of the New Covenant.
