Bible Note: Hi, Tim... Thank you for your working definition. That allows us a hope of deriving some degree of benefit, whether we participate actively or passively. The points I gave were some of the problems we have when we fail to define our terms. Nonetheless, thanks for taking the time to evaluate them in whatever way that was you were thinking of them. My fault, really, for not being sufficiently clear. So, let us shift back to the original question. Since, you have excluded broad categories of evaluation in favor of a purely ontological one, we will need to decide if Hoekema, Murray, Bavanick, and -- not least of all -- Paul, were all sharing your definition of human nature. You said that this nature included human spirituality plus physicality, en toto. So, just to deal with the easiest question from the beginning: In what way do humans change physically as a consequence of regeneration? In other words, are these four men talking about human physicality in any way? In Him, Doc PS We may need to refine more of our definitions as we go. |
