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?
