Would you say that my interpretation and belief about the Resurrection are wrong, then?
A new wineskin will be given for the new wine.
Without new wine....the old wineskin will do and will last as long as it needs.
Your interpretation is not wrong...it just is'nt convinced that.
"With God all things are possible".
We are to be given new bodies as well.
hmmmm...
Bartikus--
Are you backing me up, now?
echi,
I think what Bartikus is trying to tell you is that you don't seem to believe that God can do ANYTHING. Even raise from the dead.
You want me to tell you whether I think you are wrong or not? Well, I do not believe you have the correct interpretation. I believe Christ really died and was resurrected.
Right, Bartikus?
Well, you're right. I haven't believed in that sort of a God in a very long time. I'm not sure if it is correct to say that I believe in God, at all. But if I were to assert a belief in God it would be in one that makes sense to me... not one that is outside of the realm of nature.
Well, let me ask you this. If God were what you would have Him to be would He be superior to everything?

I don't get it. Do you believe that Jesus died (physical death), or do you believe that Christ died (spiritual)?
I have been assuming that you believed that Jesus died and was resurrected, but that the spirit (Christ) is not subject to death.
The body died. The spirit did not die.

Not exactly. God would not be a "He", firstly. And secondly, ummm... in what way do mean "superior"?
I don't feel that I can accurately rate God on any kind of scale. I'm trying to think of a good description.
How 'bout this: God is the essential nature of anything and everything.
Well, if that's what you believe that's what you believe.
Ok, is He the creator of everything?
Yes. I believe that each moment is created. But the word "create" implies intent of a kind that I do not attribute to God.
Ok, let's back up a bit then.
Who or what is it that creates those moments?
I do not think of God as having an ego. I don't think God thinks.
You don't think God thinks? If God didn't think wouldn't that make Him less than humans are?

Well, I don't know what "moments" really are. If I did know, then I might not have any reason to wonder about their origin.

IMO, thinking usually gets us into trouble.
echi,
Do you always think on this level? You seem to have a need for complication? Maybe that's not the right word. But, you seem to be able to grasp things that are dang, can't think of the right word.
But, you don't seem to grasp the simple answers. Now, is that because you don't understand the simplicity or you just think it has to be complicated?
