1 | Can we put doctrine into practice? | Eph 5:25 | In the Andes | 54104 | ||
I am just thoroughly shocked. I don't even know what to say. I mentioned Job in 1 posting and got 21 that's twenty one responses. And it's not over yet. I asked a question about how to treat our wives better and got 3 responses plus a two word answer that makes no sense. I'm not down on everybody, but i'm a little disappointed. I mean, It took a woman to write and say begin with kind words backed up by kind actions. Are there only 3 of us that are married in this sight? Or is it more fun to argue doctrine? Awaiting your responses. By the way Mom...Thanks for being honest. So, aside from your previous response. Would you like to say something to all us husbands out here in internet land. Maybe they don't know how to ask to be a better husband. So i'll do it. |

6 | Are you asking about a mystical body | Eph 5:25 | Emmaus | 54138 | ||
Andes, Thank you for your self restraint. Are you perhaps asking if God has a body as in "body of Christ" or the "mystical" body of Christ, rather than a "spiritual body"? That mystical "body of Christ" being the Church and her members who are the instuments of God's presence in the world ministering to one another and the rest of the world. Emmaus |

7 | Are you asking about a mystical body | Eph 5:25 | In the Andes | 54174 | ||
Hello Emmaus and Hank, I understand anthropomorphims. To question my ability as a teacher, based upon one question designed to spark a long list of postings...hmmm. How would you respond to ... Ezek 1:26-28 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking. NKJV Do Angels have a body? |

Andes, "How would you respond to ... Ezek 1:26-28 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking. NKJV Do Angels have a body?" I would say Ezekiel had a vision shared by St. John in Rev. 4:2, 8 and Is. 6:1. I would also say that God in essential nature is pure spirit as are angels. But visons of God are anthropomorphic in nature. I would also say that the person God the Son took on a human nature that was not the essence of his eternal divine nature and that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven with a glorified body. Angels as demonstrated in scripture in numerous places can also take on human form in order to achieve their mission, but their essential nature is pure spirit. How exactly would you define body in the context of this discussion? Emmaus |

9 | Are you asking about a mystical body | Eph 5:25 | In the Andes | 54285 | ||
Just out of curiosity, if you die before the rapture, do you float around in heaven like a vapor? Do you have any sort of form? Think about your answer because if you say that you look like you do on the earth, you are telling me that you have SOME KIND OF BODY. Body being recognizable form. If YOU being a spirit being out of your physical body have shape and form, why would God be any different? To say that visions of God are anthro. would be MORE speculation than assuming, that the scripture "let us create man in our image according to our likeness..." means that man was created in God's image. I'm thinking about something that Mrs b said, it's a damnable heresy. And something that Mcgracer said, We should not go beyond what is actually stated in scripture. What if man were actually patterned after God? Really created in His image, gk ikon. Our infinitely complex God, has chosen to reveal himself to man, through His word the bible. In that word, He does use figures of speech etc. Clearly to say "under wings" would be such. But, who is really qualified to say that mans form in a physical body is not representative of our creator. Yes God fills the whole wide universe. And yet, we claim that Jesus in His glorified flesh and bone body is omnipresent. Is that so? I believe it is. So why would it be heresy to think that man looks like God? Which is what scripture says. If God is as unfathomable as we all claim Him to be, if our brains are to tiny to understand Him, why would you ever argue the point about how God has chosen to reveal Himself to this tiny brained creature? If God says that He has hands and a back and a face, SO THAT MAN CAN RELATE AND UNDERSTAND HIM who could call it heresy to "believe" so we can understand what our incomprehensible unfathomable God is like. By faith we understand....that the ages were framed at Gods command. You cannot explain it, you can only believe it because it is ALL GOD HAS GIVEN US IN HIS WORD TO BELIEVE. I have something more important to say, so you should read my response to the DAKE BIBLE QUESTION. |

10 | Are you asking about a mystical body | Eph 5:25 | reasnerm | 54290 | ||
Sorry Andes, I'm afraid I must agree completely with you on this point and even complement your clarity. I believe that we can say that God has a body similar to a human form, though exponentially greater without creating God in the image of man. Plato had a concept of forms, that I won't go into here, that helped me to think of heaven vs earth, spiritul vs mortal. As for the Ezekiel passage, if you will forgive me not having time to study it right now, I would guess it to be a vision similar to Isaiah's (Chpt. 6) which John references as a vision of Jesus. (Sorry I can't find the reference right off, I look later when I have more time.) | ||||||
