it is then natural and in the image of the first

function is neutralized, becoming neither male nor female.
Jesus Christ himself set the pace which should make
alive all who purify themselves even as he is pure, and
are overcomers after the manner of Christ's overcoming
life. None can be said to be truly born of the spirit until
all of this overcoming is fully accomplished. None are
eligible for initiation into the eternal order of Melchizedek
until they have past out of death into life. None are
eligible as members of the bride of Christ until they are
transformed and conformed to the image of the first-born
Son of God.
Benedictions to all.

The Christ voiced the same thought, "Do men gather
grapes of thorns? or figs of thistles?"-D--.
