What is it to be human?

I am probably the second most unpopular poster on this website.

It doesn't bother me.

Why are you mentioning it then?

Are you saying that the descriptions given in the Bible of the seraphims and cherubims is not real?

You know that how?

Do you now?

Judging by your posts here, you should spend less time seeing through me and more time trying to see into your Bible.

Is it not up to each Christian [and Jew and Muslim, for that matter] to discern and interpret what is literal in the scriptures and what is allegorical and metaphorical? If it's not up to each Christian, which particular Christian is it up to?

... Why do Moses and Paul talk about man as created in the image of God?

Why does a theology article on Wikipedia say that this is a concept in Judaism, Christianity, and Sufism, if it is not the case?

Man was created in the image of God, and fell with Adam. Man is fallen, yet created to not be fallen. Thus, created to yearn for heaven.

You are going against the understandign fo Moses and Paul, and very boldly.

Make a good case for this or just concede that you made a pompous & foolish post accusing me of not being well versed in the Bible by stating a very common concept within all of Christianity.

Try to make it look like interacting with your heretical posts isn't a complete waste of time.

Seeing as he believes that Jesus died to save him from his "sins" and he strives [in his self-confessedly flawed way] to lead a Christian life, what impact on divegeester's life would spending more time looking at his Bible actually have?

I'm curious, do you believe Jesus literally rose from the dead in the body He was crucified in?

Or was it a symbolic metaphor for something else?

Do you believe divegeester may face "damnation" rather than "salvation" over matters of doctrine?

Maybe by spending more time "reading" his Bible divegeester might actually start believing what it says.
