Bible Note: Well said Doc. I like your thought on consciousness being "a part of being a whole human being (body and soul united)". That makes sense to me. I agree also that we cannot speculate too much, without getting outside of the realm of Scripture. I often like to try and imagine the thoughts and feelings of those who interacted with our Lord while He was here in the flesh... how it felt to Peter when he walked on water... how it felt to John to lay his head on the Lord's chest... how it must have made the disciples feel to see Him perform all those miracles... Sometimes however, in my imaginings, I find myself wandering out beyond the scope of the Scriptures and need to be pulled back. Thank you for doing so in a loving way. In Christ, shibboleth |
