1 | Mercy's God's prerogative | Rom 9:15 | C.S.M. | 157082 | ||
Steve, I am not espousing pantheism or panentheism. The point being glory used in I Cor 15:38-45, denotes the usefulness of a thing, and in this setting Paul throws into the mix "so also is the resurrection of the dead..sown in dishonor; raised in glory: sown in weakness; raised in power" You do recall the scripture that states "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN being understood by the THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." If you can understand the natural things of the earth and their relationships you can understand the Godhead, according to this scripture. You can have no excuse! That would include God's glory in the I Cor 15:38-45 passage..according to the Ro 1:20 scripture. You can't just fluff it off and say "they are different," you must discern, how and why they are different, and how it relates to the Godhead. According to this scripture, you're supposed to be able to discern clearly, and understand by THINGS THAT ARE MADE, God's eternal power AND Godhead. I hear some adjustments going on in your head... Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Hello CSM, You wrote: "The point being glory used in I Cor 15:38-45, denotes the usefulness of a thing" How do you arrive at this? You wrote: "If you can understand the natural things of the earth and their relationships you can understand the Godhead, according to this scripture [Ro 1:20] scripture." No, it says you can see evidence of God via the display of his power and godhead (i.e. divine nature). The godhead is only understandable through spiritual means 1 Cor 2:12-14 (ESV): Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. Steve |
