Whatever you are smoking, I suggest you put it out. Read what I posted. Did I say anywhere in there that the Father had hands? The Spirit? All I did was ask you how JESUS picked up the child. You idiotic suggestions as to my reasoning are getting tiresome.

I am through with you.

Did I say anything about Jesus? Your answer was a clumsy way of obfuscating the fact that refreences to "God" in general as having hands and passions are anthropomiorphisms and should be read allegorically and not literally.

Take, for instance Exodus 24:11

Here, in fact, we have a double whamy: refrence to God's "hand" and "seeing" God, neither of which are to be understood literally.

So are your off the wall comments.

I am through with you.

Fine. Go in peace.
