“We can deceive ourselves. You are human also.”
Don’t remind me. It is a part of myself that I would sooner do without.
In 1988 I died and went to Heaven. It was pure bliss and wonderful. I hated coming back here in this human crap. I missed that connection so much, until I realized that I had been given a taste of the proverbial carrot on the stick in front of me, and that if I worked at it, I could taste all I wanted while still in my physical body.
Jesus is my savior not because He died on the cross. But because He lowered himself to my level to be born in the flesh and teach me to be like him. This is why 1 John 4 speaks of testing spirits with that question. Let’s see.... live on earth experiencing separation from my Father or leaving my body to be with Him always.... Not much of a sacrifice.
I am a soul experiencing my humanness. I am not a human experiencing my soul.
Why? Isn't being human also a gift from God? Is human necessarily bad?
