Well, you managed to do about everything BUT answer my question

Are you serious? It is so obvious I did not think it needed an answer, of course they had imagination. The real question is "how where these faculties corrupted by the fall"?

The BIBLE does not have a High Regard for Imagination does it?

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

God HATES: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations

 The scriptures seem to state that these bad imaginations are somehow tied to a HEART condition. I can not find anything positive in the scriptures about imagination. Perhaps you could locate the Nefarious "Sanctified Imagination"

See these are the things that cause some to bristle and stiffen their backs against you guys. You want to pontificate & wander in areas the scriptures advise against. Why not stay where the scriptures are clear & it is safe? it seems like a moth to the flame kind of attraction for Theolog's

We do not have to Image God well leave that to Lennon
God has revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ
To know Christ we must know the scriptures

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. But you will not come too me that you might have life

anything outside of that is Pagan Idolatry!

So, Kevin, Judy, Izzy, is the imagination a result of the fall -- in other words, were A&W created with imaginations?

Whats wrong with conjuring up a little something with your imagination?

 

reIMAGINING Christianity

http://www.confessingumc.org/wicca_story2.html


�Jesus is not God�
�What does it take for us to break rank with the slave masters� religion?� asked another speaker, Carter Heyward. Her answer was to reimagine Jesus Christ. Heyward said that it is a mistake to emphasize �the singularity of God�s presence in Jesus.� Describing what she believes about Jesus, she said, �It was not Jesus� identity with God, as if Jesus somehow thought of himself as divine � Jesus in reality was not God �

 

Kevin, you nailed it again.  The imaginations of men/women are simply that.  Izzy
