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