That's because you must not understand what the word "heretic" means in Greek.
God says we are created in His image...Does that mean we physically look like God??? I doubt it
So, then the Bible doesn't say what it says? Just what does that mean—to be in his image as opposed to his likeness? You mean an image isn't an image, and "is" isn't really "is?" Where have I heard that before...hmmm?
God created us as a trinity...We have a body, a soul and a spirit
Oh, what a nonsense. What is a soul? So when we die, the body goes to dust and the soul remains, but then what happens to the spirit?
Two examples: Water...Water is steam/vapor...Water is ice...Water is liquid...All different but all Water just the same...
So, the Trinitarian hypostases are different "forms" of one essence? Have you ever heard of Modalism?
You have the outer shell, the inner tube, and the air that inflates the tire...That's how I view God...One football, three parts, but yet one
Three different and separate natures...brilliant! You believe then in three different (and unrelated) gods.
And this last analogy you find in the scriptures too? O did you make that up in your own private "ecumenical" council of the church of one.
I didn't realize you guys don't believe in the trinity of man...Doesn't surprise me though...Guess that's why you guys don't accept nor believe in the spiritual circumcisiion that takes place at the New Birth...
Oh, what a nonsense. What is a soul? So when we die, the body goes to dust and the soul remains, but then what happens to the spirit?
Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
This is a partial description of the spiritul circumcision...It separates the physical human body from the spiritual...Prior to that circumcision, they are connected...
Three different and separate natures...brilliant! You believe then in three different (and unrelated) gods.
Mat 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
So what are you saying??? Different 'natures' that disagree with each other??? I don't care what name you put on it but the scriptures show that there are three and those three are one...
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
The 'nature' of God as God gives to the nature of Jesus as God???
And you claim I say they are not related??? They are three...They are one...That's all that God revealed to anyone...Putting an intellectual spin on it don't impress me much...
That's because you must not understand what the word "heretic" means in Greek.
As far as I know it means schismatic...Which is anathema to your religion...But then schismatic may be another Greek word, or Latin, or Ukranian, in which case I'd have to do more research
So, then the Bible doesn't say what it says? Just what does that mean—to be in his image as opposed to his likeness? You mean an image isn't an image, and "is" isn't really "is?" Where have I heard that before...hmmm?
I'd say there's more to it than that...
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
If we murder another man we shall be killed because we look like God???
There is given an image of God in the book of Revelation...Reading that description, there is no human ever born that resembles that image...So what then??? It clear that you nor I have seen the end of the creation of man...
When God says we are made in His image, He is certainly not referring to what we look like right now...And how do I know this??? Because the scripture says so...
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
O did you make that up in your own private "ecumenical" council of the church of one.
Well that's turning into a popular condescension...
