Subject: Are you asking about a mystical body |
Bible Note: 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. |
