What an intriguing question. The truth of theology plays a significant role in shaping and understanding human experience from a theocentric perspective, contrasting with an animistic viewpoint that emphasizes self-centeredness. This distinction is as profound as the difference between a dichotomous or trichotomist approach. Our perception of ourselves is influenced by the truth we embrace within this theocentric framework. We currently live in a time where traditional beliefs are being challenged. We possess multiple symbols and maintain a remarkably active imagination as we strive to integrate the concept of deification. In an attempt to deviate from the theocentric paradigm, we have arbitrarily diminished our understanding of ourselves as creations of God, as we entertain the notion of an alternative reality. As individuals of faith, we engage with the presence of the Trinity within us, attending to the divine tabernacle. Our identity is deeply rooted in a theocentric perspective, viewing ourselves as united with Christ and participating in the fellowship with God that encompasses the entire world. It is impossible to define our identity as saints within any other framework. We exist as a combination of spirit and body, not merely soulish beings. We do not adhere to a mortal sanctification paradigm that resembles purgatory. Our perception of ourselves is shaped by God's grace, which reflects heavenly ideals in our conscious awareness. Our pursuit of understanding grace is conducted with a heavenly mindset, allowing our expression to reflect the need for wholeness. We perceive ourselves within a structure where we stand at the bottom, looking up at the ceiling. We do not reside in a distorted structure where a middle bottom obstructs our view of the ceiling. Within this theocentric contradiction, we are elevated from our moral depravity and experience rejuvenation, enabling us to worship God in spirit. We faithfully attend to the divine tabernacle. The reason we have diminished our confidence in our godliness is due to the addition of a middle bottom within the post-modern trichotomy. This alteration has led us to view the mystery of God as a works-based system of social integration, where we have simply masked our godly confidence. We have witnessed Moses ascending Mount Sinai and have constructed a golden idol, representing our perception of ourselves and our ability to create various forms of soulish imaginations within our intertwined culture. These forms are narcissistic, as they focus solely on ourselves without acknowledging the divine glory reflected in our faces. We have become accustomed to not perceiving the glory on Moses' face, but instead, we fixate on the fire surrounding the golden idol. Our perception of ourselves is influenced by our attachment to icons. We mistakenly believe that deification is something we can comprehend outside of theology. By introducing a soulish paradigm and removing God from our tabernacle, we have distorted our worship, no longer engaging with God in spirit. Instead, we bring our own presumptions and misconceptions, rejecting His true nature. In doing so, we overlook the significance of theological education.
