John are you one of the ones who claimed we humans are merely
minds with a body,

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]

the father of our spirits?
jt: He would have a hard time
being who He is if we the seed of Adam were not created
spirit beings in His
image and likeness 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).
jt: I don't look to "logic" John, I see what I have written
here in scripture, just
because you don't see it right now doesn't mean it is not
there or that you won't see it
ever. I don't see anything about "essence" at all in the whole Bible, must be some
theological construct that comes from the same place as the other
doctrines and the
procession which probably led to
all the pomp and icons in the RCC.
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.

Your facts are not
mine -- that is why I prefer "debate"
jt: Not even facts out of the pages of
the holy writ?
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.
jt: It has to do with your statement above
that "nothing is absolute" What I am
trying to say is that "God's Word" through
Moses and the prophets is absolute.
And so is God's Word through our Lord and
Master.
