    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    I'm not quite sure what your point is here. Do you mean that just because one verse does not mention one of the persons of the Trinity, that He does not exist? Look at other parts of the Bible and The Holy Ghost is mentioned: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them...

    ok, I am going to get back to you tomorrow or so. I have to do some work.

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    I cannot find where God is a synonym for godhead. If there is more than one God, then what of all the singular references to God in the Bible? It does seem to contradict, but that is in our human reasoning. We are talking about God. He is above human reasoning. Would you be willing to admit...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    Yes, I believe the body will be resurrected, but it will not be the same body as it was before: it will be a glorified, sinless body. In respect to the spirit, the spirit will still serve the same purpose as the source of personality. May I ask, what do you believe? Thanks. P.S. I have to...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    Isaiah 44:8 says, “Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.” This means that there is only one God. Not three Gods. This being said, it either means that God...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    Yes, God is light and love, but His light and love emanate from His spirit. His personality, emotions and characteristics come from His spirit. They are not the same as His spirit. It sounds like that is pretty much the same thing I was saying. I don't know if I am interpreting it differently...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    I know what you are trying to say, but in the end I think we have to come to the conclusion that we will never understand this concept. We cannot understand God fully. Romans 11:33 says, "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and...

    Spirit - the invisible source or center of personality. Also, when the spirit leaves the body, the body dies: James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. God is spirit: the Bible explicitly states this in John 4:24: "God is Spirit, and...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    It seems to me that Jesus is praying that we, as a body of believers, would become one with each other as He and His Father are one. Here is what the verse says, John 17:11 "And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    For this, it goes back to the role of the Father. There roles are different. I, however, do believe in the triunity of God. A Scriptural example of this would be: Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!"

    I have to admit that I have not really looked this up myself. If you could give me a couple days or so, I will get back to you with an answer.

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    This is something that we as humans cannot fully understand because, it's God. As best as I can understand/explain it is as follows: God the Father is, by role, the head of the Trinity. This does not mean that He is more God than the Son or the Spirit. God the Holy Spirit indwells and empowers...

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    The Lamb is referring to Jesus. Jesus has a physical body. He is God incarnate. (Jesus is the physical existence of God). God the Father and God the Holy Spirit do not have a physical existence. It goes back to what the others were saying with the anthropomorphic expressions.

    Man - 'Created in the image of God'

    We have a spirit. Although we exist physically we also have a spirit. For example, Genesis 41:8 says, " And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there...

    Major transitions in evolution

    The proof is all around. I feel that this is going nowhere and so I am just gonna stop. The problem is our starting points. We look at the same evidence and come up with two very different conclusions. No one ever said Noah was white. In fact he most likely was not. Truthfully there is only...

    I am not a Catholic. I do not belong to the pope. And how can I be expected to argue against you if you do not present your side?

    Major transitions in evolution

    Ok, guys. I broke out one of my sources. Sorry for my trying to do it from my own little head. :) I am going to start over. Genesis 7:11-12 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep...

    Major transitions in evolution

    The whole evaporation idea was just something I thought of. I had not looked into it. As far as requiring a cataclysmic event this was recorded as an act of God. The erosion in the Grand Canyon was a result of the flood though. I really should be taking the time to research my answers so...
