    So does that mean our beaings are created in GOD's image, so our spirt is created as GODs is. Or is it in his idea of what we should look like. And does that conflict with our understanding that we are able to make our own choices? If GOD knows everything, then GOD would know how we will react in any given situation, thus, we are given situations that GOD persents us, and we react how he intended us to react. How can we have free will if we were created to do as GOD intended us to?? Are we all just random parts of a mechine, Planet earth? Intersting.

    I like your idea, very interesting.

    peasce and kindness.

    If physical characteristics do not mean anything, a gnostic error, then why did Jesus Christ, for those who believe, present to us as a human?

    If physical characteristics did not matter, why [ did Jesus Christ ] heal lepers and the physically ill?

    Matthew 9: 1-8

    Human Form is merely a vehicle that we use to roam THIS planet. Jesus was God in "human form". He came to show us what living a Godly life was supposed to look like. Our true essence is not our bodies.

    This vehicle known as our body breaks down, sometimes prematurely.
    It's only common sense to keep it going as best as we can. This does not conflict with our essence being in the image of God's essence. Do you see God as a body> Is it a "he or she". Does he look white black, Asian or whatever? This is the 2nd time that I have confronted a poster that believes God's physical image is the same as ours and have yet to get an answer. Which one of us does God look like?
