Only as we perceive them commonly. Through Christ we see them differently. We see them as God sees them (Luke 20:38).

Nice sentiment, but severely out of context. For man it is impossible to see as God does. We are chained to this tabernacle and are confined by its physics. God stands outside of our reality, weaving His love through its fabric, leaving traces for us to wonder at without one method by which we can interfere with but by every opportunity to adore.

“Nice sentiment, but severely out of context.”

I expressed no sentiment. We are new creatures. We see things differently now. If you don’t, then you have a problem.

“For man it is impossible to see as God does.”

No. It is impossible for man to see PERFECTLY as God does, but we do see what is as God has it just not perfectly (1 Corinthians 13:12).

“We are chained to this tabernacle and are confined by its physics.”

Only in some ways. Through the power of God - who you seem to completely discount - we are not just chained to the earth. 2 Corinthians 12:2

“God stands outside of our reality, weaving His love through its fabric, leaving traces for us to wonder at without one method by which we can interfere with but by every opportunity to adore.”

Actually God EXISTS outside of our reality, but He chooses to stand with us and dwells inside us. Matthew 28:20, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Galatians 2:20.
