Hi, guys —

Christ lives in each of us as the Enlightened One, present everywhere and at all times.

  • Is this view explicitly or implicitly in the Scriptures?

Thanks,

Chuck

Mary Ann replied:

Hi, Chuck —

That is New Age baloney, with a veneer of Christianity.

Christ is not the enlightened one. He is the Light. He said, I am the Light. (John 8:12 and 9:5)

He doesn't live in each one of us all the time. He lives personally only in those who are joined to his Body by Baptism (of water, blood, or desire). As God, Christ is omnipresent by His power.

As the Logos, the Word of the universe, He is the pattern of all things, and as the Light, He enlightens every one who comes into the world. (Gospel of John, Chapter 1)
