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.

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?
