There is no such a word as "Paradoxicaloxymoron", I just made it up from two different words. A “PARADOX” is a statement or argument that seems to be contradictory or to go against common sense, but it is yet still true. A “OXYMORON” is a word or group of words that is self-contradicting.
A person who is in “Christ” is alive even if they are dead! A person who is NOT in “Christ” is dead even if they are physically alive.
The Bible is filled with paradox's, and oxymoron's that make no sense at all, but are true!
Jesus said....
Mar 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, and it will be yours.
How can a person believe they have already received something that they asked for in prayer, but according to all of their physical, logical senses, they do not have it?
In other words, no man will get anything from God unless he believes he already has it!!
Logical analytical thinking in our brain is not compatible to spiritual thinking as they are contrary to each other!
This is why you can not logically analytically study the Bible to discover any of it's truth, because logical truth is contrary to spiritual truth even though there are certain truths that are real in the physical realm, but not true in the spiritual realm. The word “truth” which Jesus said he was (John 14:6) means “REALITY”. Reality can only be found in a place that never changes! This world is real, but it is not “reality” because it is ever changing!
1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
1Jn 2:17 And THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Jesus is the “Highway” that leads us to the “reality” of “life!” This is not some day in the future, it means today!!! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! The Prophet tells about the day in which we are living now!
Isa 35:8 And A HIGHWAY SHALL BE THERE, and it shall be CALLED THE WAY OF HOLINESS; the unclean shall not pass over it. IT SHALL BELONG TO THOSE WHO WALK ON THE WAY; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.
Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but THE REDEEMED SHALL WALK THERE.
Isa 35:10 And THE RANSOMED OF THE LORD SHALL RETURN AND COME TO ZION with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Have we ever wondered where this Kingdom of His dear Son is, that the Church has been translated to? It can be found here.
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb 10:19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 by the new and living way (Highway) that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
Does this make any logical analytical sense to you? It is not supposed to, because it is not logical understanding, it is spiritual understanding!!
I find it humorous when Jesus said.....
Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
The "wise" and "prudent" are those who think themselves to be intelligent and highly educated.
In the same way we are growing in CHRIST who is IN US unto that perfect man, as it is happening progressively in this physical time-based world until we become the man WE ALREADY ARE in Christ!!
That is a “oxymoron”! How can a person grow into something he already is?
Logically thinking it can never happen, but spiritually thinking it has already happened. The “Joy” of this spiritual understanding does not come from the progressive change each person is undergoing, but from the fact of its already completion!
A person who is in “Christ” is alive even if they are dead! A person who is NOT in “Christ” is dead even if they are physically alive.
