But when I talk about the soul, I am referring to the life, which is supernatural, within the chicken that God puts into them. Because I say they have a soul doesn't mean that I'm putting them on the same level as man. What? I thought god was not material .. that He was before space, time and everything else. How then is it that we are in the image of god? What image - of something that was before there was any space or stuff? Or is that only a reference to our 'elevated' moral position? These mixed allegories are impossible to keep track of.  (June 2, 2014 at 9:31 am)whateverist Wrote: What? I thought god was not material .. that He was before space, time and everything else.

You just made a statement of what you believe and you asked the question of how we were created in God's image since he doesn't have a physical body. I answered your question. Even though I am serious, I'm not expecting everyone in this forum to take it seriously, just as I don't take everything you say seriously. We're all free to believe what we want to believe. I just want you to believe in Christ because I want you to have salvation.  (June 1, 2014 at 11:25 am)Lek Wrote: You're right.

Being made "in the likeness of God" has nothing to do with it. * Hereditary, in that people didn't have this trait, then Eve ate some fruit, then she gained this trait, and we've all had it sense. God damn that story is so stupid.

If your concern is genuine then your time would be better served petitioning your god to throw down some evidence rather than mindlessly repeating the same shit that's been belched forth for 2000 years. There is absolutely no reason to believe anything in the Bible regarding Christ's return or the existence of an afterlife. |
