Itmay be said this is what jesus was speaking of nto another religion but direct connection and awareness in order to use these words an  existance would have to be attaiable which allows for such closness.. walk inthe spirit and truthand spirit, sadly that is often confused with man made religion with it;s legal spirit.. But breaking free is rather simple and pure as jesus is not hard to find for the one  the father draws onto himself.

This type of relgionship is something that does not require special place or lanaguage or clothing and buildings it;s a place of the heart for the lord and each other  what the Nt age is all about. It all for goes alot of  unanswered quesntions.That does not mean we are to for go fellowship but should pursue it as the spirit led unction dictates.

Jesus Christ is dymanic life and faith drives the vehicle in the day to day status of knowing him. Our hope to see the regaining of the real brother hood long intended without all the human constraints of fear, doubt to a life where the power of the Spirit. So well illustred in the life of Christ and his disciples can be placed we live and walk in and aid  those we meet in the spirit of love and truth.

Our hope is thsoe seeking a more complete understabnding of what  these unions consist can be attained with  some effort to read and learn the forms God intended.
