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?
It is not your idea? I
am guessing you mean that it is God's. Are all your ideas the same
as God's? For your final question above, please see last couple
of posts.
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
actually, it was a
straightforward command :-) but go on...
- whatever. Of what
have you been trying to convince me?
Nothing. Did I say I was? I
thought I said the opposite!
We are obviously
at opposite ends of the spectrum with your faith
resting in the human understanding of speech
forms
No; I use them carefully for
talking and thinking, as they should be used, but my faith doesn't rest
in them. My faith rests in God, as I presume yours does.
and mine in the insight
given by the Holy Spirit
Oh, your faith rests in
insight. OK.
who gives understanding and
who leads us into all truth (in every language and in all
generations).
Tell me, do you expect to
learn anything (=gain a new understanding that you never had before)
from (or by means of) anyone on TT? Ever? I am not being snotty, I am
quite serious about that.
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.
Not sure what you mean by "turning the subject
back to you". Do you mean I keep returning the ball to your court, like
people do when they discuss? Or do you mean you feel personally
attacked? I don't mean to do that. I have been trying honestly
to talk about what you have been talking about. The joy
I invoked for you was supposed to come from "living in the
light you have"; if I have been detracting in any way from
your joy, please forgive me. The way for me to stop doing so is
probably to be silent. Like Job, I put my hand over my
mouth.

1. We are not saved to be something other

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?
