I sincerely believe that you and I both agree that God is telling the truth.

That said, why don't you comment on the many Scriptures I cited at #186. The usual axiom on Scriptural interpretation is, "Let Scripture interpret Scripture." The sections I cited would certainly illuminate the ways God does share His glory.

Does that contradict what you quoted about God NOT sharing His glory?

You'd have to take that up with the Holy Spirit, the Author of all these texts.

My own understand would be that one text is referring to "sharing" glory with rival gods --- which God will never do --- while the verses I quoted mean that He is free to glorify those faithful people on whom His favor rests.

You did illustrate one of them.


Romans 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man...

if you want a comment here goes.

Matthew 22 - Jesus was talking to the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. His comment about God being the God of the living had to do with the fact that there will be a resurrection. Once again, Catholics trying to twist scripture to support their erroneous beliefs is sad.

Besides, Eslie's comment was that "Dead people have NO share in HIS glory!!" You have not shown where people who have passed from this life have been given any glory until the resurrection. Or are you claiming the those who have passed from this life have already been given their rewards?
