CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

True Human Being?

Is not a reflection of the truth just another, but clever, illusion. Are we not capable, through Christ, to become a true human being.

This is elementary. There is one who is called true or truth...and he walked on a certain path. A true human reflects his character while walking, as best he can, on that same path.

Is not your true self the spirit of God?
To believe you are the body, instead of just having one, is like a driver of a car believing they are the car. When the car (body) dies, their belief will have them perish with the car (body). As a Christian, are we not to let go of the flesh.

Would not a true human walk in Truth, in God's will, and not trying to reflect what they think is true through their own will.

we will not know until the resurrection day of the righteous
Romans 3:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
1 Corinthians 15:52-54 King James Version (KJV)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

That is hard to pin down. It is a "work in progress." It is marked by continuous changes in paradigm.

Romans 3:10 talks about those who do not seek God.
1 Corinthians 15:52-54 talks about the resurrection body.
I am asking about what it is like to be a true human being, while alive.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

I said he would walk in truth... and as far as reflecting "what they think is true." I didn't say that.. what I said was that we reflect the CHARACTER of the Lord. Paul wrote, "in all you do in word or deed, do so in the NAME OF the Lord." This has nothing, at all, to do with the letters J.E.S.U.S. (or Y.E.S.H.U.A.) and everything to do with his character, reputation, and authority. To walk in the name of the Lord means to walk in his authority, in a manner that reflects his character, and that adds to HIS (not yours) reputation. Profaning his name is walking outside of his authority or will, in a manner that doesn't reflect his character and that takes from his reputation.
So, we are to walk in truth and reflect the one we serve to the world around us.

Which is pretty much what I said. For the time being, though, I gotta live in it, and endure it's gradual death.
