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

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?
