What part of start a new thread do you not understand?i understand you don't wish to discuss why you say human beings are "animals".
You can choose not to.
You did, however, bring it up.
Jus' sayin'
God is a Person.You're the one saying if we're Animals God has to be An Animal
So if We're human by that same logic, God has to be Human.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?God is a Person.
Don't worry.It's off topic for the OP if you want to have that discussion start your own thread. I don't feel like in a warning for derailing a thread
It sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too.God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Is Jesus an animal?If you can't understand it, I can't help you.
Yes, Humans are Animals, and Jesus was fully Human.Is Jesus an animal?
Will there be any animals in Hell?
Will there be any animals in Hell?
Impressive.
Ok, brother in Christ. 'tis good to know that you are not confused about reconciling our God as Creator with us, the created, who were created in His image.
What does that mean?
Gods image for the Catholic is spiritual, ie we are immortal souls. .
No, IIRC in the catechesism it is a spiritual not material image. Maybe they mean transcendent, irreducible to flesh and bones. In Islam the equivalent to our spirit might be "ruh", (which is from the rame root as ther hebrew "ruach") and the Muslim is given little knowledge of it. The Koran says so. Yet, we would still be reserected if we were "stones and iron".I'm not sure what you mean by that...
Is god's image something you can see?
I think its an analogy, you cant see "moral instincts" for instance, or "calculation" etc. But they exist. You cant see "consciousness" (if its defined as the condition of there being appearances) but its still there. So its not an image in the sense of a material body, but a "spiritual" thing in an alleged different mode of being than the material.
In the Cathiolic faith IIRC theres the natural, and the supernatural, and in between the preternatural which is where the soul IIRC (or mind) concept fits in. Of course secularists might speak of irredicibility of mind, and get away with it, on the basis that its not a "religious concept"...?
