    My deal is to staunch error where possible, we can't believe every rumor we concoct for our brother.

    Maybe rumours are the essential presence of any whole community.

    Communion is necessary for whole community. Rumor is allowed to attract diversity.

    And ferrous magnetism, and externally existing communities from where slaves can be commuted. Essentially the potency to drop out sentience from the discussion.:(

    Sentience, brain chemicals, are informed by discussion.

    Where our treasure is, there is our heart also.

    All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. I was requested, though I sometimes wonder how long we shall remain.

    Home is where the heart is. But, of course, Reason makes work of the understanding. As such, the ending is Good, too good, no good.

    In this case, treasure is any idea of good or value, our emotional body follows this voice.
    We are stretched autonomously by cosmic oscillation, traffic control for the unattended conveyance. We are stretched with immediacy by the voice.

    No, our physical bodies are not something bad or something that we should distrust. Since Adam and Eve disconnected us from the source of life, they wear out and fail us but that is not their fault or the fault of their designer.
    Well, for one thing they allow us to be alive. But after our death they make good fertilizer.

    Try actually responding to the OP sometime rather than just trolling. :)

    Our bodies desires may not always accurately represent the desires of the spirit. Our flesh is something to distrust because it is directly connected to the original sin. We may do things according to the flesh (sin) but at the same time hope to do the best with what we have. The very fact that we die shows that the flesh shouldn't be trusted because it changed from it's original design. The breathe that is in us is immortal. The only thing that carries us is our trust of the holy spirit. The holy spirit is like a band aid to our flesh. We may still have a gash underneath but at least it's healing.

    One of the first things a baby says is 'no' to their mother, which may mean nothing but thought it may be revealing the sinful nature (the sinful nature is to be disobedient). Even though children have a far greater understanding of love, there is still the crippling effects of the original sin.

    The only thing that can remedy that is accepting the never ending well of the holy spirit, which isn't ours but is given to us freely.


    I'm not sure what you mean by, 'can our bodies be used for anything?'. It makes for good food for vultures. Grade AA beef.

    Now, the issue I was getting at in my initial question was that distrust of the physical body, and the physical world, to me, seems unBiblical but I often hear Protestant radio preachers preaching this very similar idea.

    Sure, our flesh can desire somethings that are against the Spirit, such as sex before we are married, but is the desire wrong in and of itself to have sex, or are we simply in the wrong state of life for the gift God has given us?

    Doesn't the fact that Christ became a physical human being say something about our human nature?

    Still doesn't change this from trolling but okay just this once.

    I'm not "blaming" anyone for my disconnection but I am pointing out the fact of the matter, that Adam and Eve disconnected everyone from God and that God has worked out a way for us to reconnect, if we chose to avail ourselves of it.

    Def is doing quite fine answering but let me throw in my 2 cents worth.

    The Bible does say that the heart is treacherous and is not to be trusted. (Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9)

    But that aside, the bodies or flesh that we have is what God intended us to live forever in and as such are not bad or sinful in of themselves.

    It has always been interesting to me that all the things that we generally consider sinful were things given to us by God to enjoy but Satan and our sinful nature have turned them into something bad, such as eating becoming gluttony.

    It's trollish to believe in trolls and trolling OWB.

    : D

    The bible! But of course! Silly me! Though...there wouldn't be an 'everyone' if it weren't for old Adam and Eve. By rights I should be forced to conclude that you're bonkers. Sex is pure enough. Can you handle it? LOL
