But I remember, now, that you
have a very different idea of the body, and it was talked about at some
length on TT not long ago. (Remember the discussion about
"gnosticism"?)
The above is not "my idea of the
body" Debbie and my idea has nothing whatsoever to do with gnosticism. I don't
remember gnosticism ever being discussed at length on TT; it
was mentioned at times in passing by those who have no frame of reference
for what I write so they use a "gnostic box" and it appears as though you are
in this category also. My belief is that the human body is "fearfully
and wonderfully made" - Nevertheless, 1 Corinthians 15:50 still stands. I didn't write scripture I just
believe it as is. What are you going to do with this statement?
We understand Scripture differently on this question. Perhaps we could just disagree instead
of doing it all over again. I don't feel compelled to try to convince
you, and I think the effort would be ill spent in any case. Live in the
light you have.
Thanks for your permission or
suggestion Debbie - whatever. Of what have you been trying to convince
me? We are obviously at opposite ends of the spectrum with your
faith resting in the human understanding of speech forms and
mine in the insight given by the Holy Spirit who gives understanding and
who leads us into all truth (in every language and in all generations).
Time ill spent seems to go both ways as you consistently ignore what I
write with regard to the subject line and inevitably turn the subject back
to ME... Not much joy at all in that. jt
Debbie writes:
1. We are not saved to be something other than
human. To be truly human does not mean to be
sinful and broken.
What do you mean by "truly human"
Debbie? It's been my experience that ppl usually bring out "after all
they are human" as an excuse
for continuing in sin when they
are threatened by someone they think may be setting the standard too
high.
You can't be talking about the
human body because we all know that "flesh and blood" cannot inherit God's
Kingdom (1 Cor 15:50)
So what are you saying
here... What is your spin?
