John are you one of the ones who claimed we humans are merely minds with a body,
(or body and soul only)? Guess again, miss judy. Moses knew God was the Father of spirits and so did Aaron
[See Numbers 16:22; 27:16] and He is the God of the spirits of the Prophets [Rev 22:6]
JD: And where does any of this conflict with the sidebar in Heb 12:9 that God of the father of our spirits?
jt: He would have a hard time being who He is if we are not who we are which is spirit beings created
in His image and likeness [that is our ancestor Adam before the fall]
You look to your own sense of logic and draw a reasoned conclusion that the "image" has something to do with declaration of how we are as an actual being. I use my sense of logic and draw a reasoned conclusion that "image" has something to do with essense. Whose to say, for sure (and please don't say, David).
Not written in stone, I know, but much more likely than the other understanding.
None of it is absolute. John
jt: It's absolute so far as God is concerned - The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of
prophecy [Revelation 19:10].
JD: You lost me. I have no idea what you and I are debating right now. Bring me up to date.
jt: Not a debate, merely a statement of fact. Your facts are not mine -- that is why I prefer "debate" When the man with the brothers wanted to send
more proof to his kin so they would believe - what was he told? - "they have Moses and the
prophets, let them hear them" We have a more sure word of Prophecy wouldn't you agree? Well, yes -- but what has this to do with the image of God or Heb 12:9? Still lost on this end.
John
