LOL. Another parable for those who are blinded.
The actual text says this....
Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Lets define a few more words...
One - a single person or thing, viewed as taking the place of a group
In - expressing inclusion or involvement
The writer again was making an allegory.. Looking back to Vs 27 is says: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
If we having put on christ (figuratively) then in this union with christ he makes no difference to our nationality or racial position, he makes no difference to our position as a slave or a free man and he makes no difference to our sexuality. as far as Christ is concerned, we are all the same in his eyes. Again something his Father has shown us.... as shown in this verse... Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Respect - a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements
God respects faith.... Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him.
If you want his admiration, it begins and ends with faith.
Christ is reality. Oneness is reality. Love is the only reality. These are words to describe the one reality.
God is Love - I John 4:8b
Genesis insists that there is both good and evil instead of only Love.
If there is only love then explain away the hatred mankind has one against another....
That's a symbol of duality.
Two arms, two legs, two ears...ect.
More symbols of duality...made "real".
To believe there is nothing more than Love and that Good and Evil do not exist is to symbolize confusion.
Are you really suggesting our Father has 2 legs, 2 arms, a face, eyes, a nose, etc...?
This is inevitable, that you will make an image of God in your own image. How is that different from an idol?
I am not suggesting, I am quoting from the book I accept as his words, transcribed by fallible man...
Again I restate, we were made in his image, not the other way around.... If I image a thing, it is not the same as the original..... It is in the pure essence of the Hebrew word for image in this passage.... a Resemblance....
They say we resemble Apes, but do we???? Are there similarities??? Head, face, 2 arms 2 legs as you state, but that is where it ends....
Likeness in the Hebrew in this passage = resemblance or modeled after....
SO does God look like us or do we look like God?? Can we get an idea of what God MAY look like by looking at one another???
Finally. Romans 1:24 puts it into perspective....And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
The word to key in on is GLORY...... When man says God looks like us he misses one key factor... Gods Glory is what makes him NOT like us. We were created in his image. Not the other way around.... We do not have his Glory. That sets him apart from us....
Do not be confused. God does not look like us, but rather we look like him... Personally I have looked at apes, and I do NOT look like an Ape, although an Ape may resemble me....
But God creates only in His image, formless, unlimited spirit.
God's Son, then, must be formless, unlimited spirit...exactly in the image of his Father. This is home, and this is Utopia.
If formless, unlimited spirit uses its mind to make a new self-concept of Self, then it may appear in the form of man, or anything else. This is not Utopia.
If prior to Adams transgression this was not Utopia to the dirt formed and life breathed Man placed on this earth, then why are you here???
If God wanted more for "mankind" from the outset, then why bother breathing spirtual life into a lump of dirt and forcing him to be limited to this plane of existence......
And if you are Jesus and Jesus is quoted saying, "I and My Father One," then are you publicly admitting that this entire Earth/Man experiement was a Humongous failure????
Man didnt do what you wanted him to do... You messed when you gave him Free Will, you messed up when you created Lucifer and you messed up with the 1/3rd of the angels he took with him on their day of creation....
SO I would conlude that you are a mess..
Now the God I serve isnt a mess. So we have established that you are not him...
But then again that is what I have been saying all along....
You have imagined a Vain thing..... Satan did the same. He imagined a Vain thing and Lost all of his brilliance which wasnt his to begin with.
Genesis contradicts my account of actual occurrances regarding the prodigal Son.
Genesis "said" the Son was kicked out of home.
I said he left home voluntarily.
The Garden was Not Mans Home. It was a place of residency. A residence is not your Home. It is a place in which your physical body resides from time to time. The phrase "home is where the heart is" captures this beautifully, after all it was yeshua that said, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
So if I agree that home is where the heart is, then Adams home was in his relationship with The Father.... When he left that home voluntarily to pursue the very thing his Father warned him about, he died in his relationship with God.
But again this was a Parable spoken... Not to be taken literally. So even though you claim to be the Jesus that spoke this parable how is you do not understand the definition of the word Parable.....
You think temptation means to lust.
I never said that.
James never said that.
Again, unlike Yeshua, you misquote and misrepresent facts that are typed/written...
It is difficult to converse with someone who fails to understand basic definitions of words, basic use of language and the basic principles of debate....
If one understands a parable is not a literal occurrance then one is in position to truly understand what yeshua was saying... As long as one takes the figurative and makes it literal he will be confused....
And he will spread this disease of confusion to the masses....
