in God's image]

We don't all look alike because God did not create us to look like Him,
because He has no body; He is not a *physical* being, but a *spiritual*
being. John 4:24 says, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must
worship in spirit and truth." The immaterial part of man (mind, soul,
spirit, or whatever name you want to assign it) was made similar to how God
Himself is. And similar to what (I think) Aaron said, because God is
creative, so we are creative. The same goes for love, and righteousness
(why do you think we have a conscience?).
> Robert: "Grow in harmony? Last I checked mankind (on average) was still
killing, murdering, and destroying just as many things as it always has."
Robert does have a good point here. Man is sinful and will always kill and
destroy until he is no longer sinful. But man cannot become non-sinful by
himself. Genesis 6:5--"Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was
great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually."
> Robert: "Isn't it amazing that in this day and age the absolute "truth"
about existence can be found on a poorly engineered web site on the Inet
that also includes fascinating reading material on HAM radio, paper
airplanes, music, and Lego's of all things. Why if only I had known about
this site earlier in my life. One can only wonder why the
"truth" isn't being advertised all over mainstream media this very second."
The truth can also be found in the Bible, not merely on my website. The
reason the truth isn't being broadcast all across the media is because man
is sinful, he can't face a just and holy God who can't tolerate sin.
Therefore, mankind, in pride, also exalts himself, ignoring God and the
truth.
> Robert: "Um, I'm just wondering, do you have some sort of direct hot line
with God, or is this what Cleo and the magic seeing crystal you bought in
the mall are telling you? I'm just sorta curios as to why YOU in particular
seem to have ALL the answers and have it ALL figured out as well. Of course
then the last guy that I responded to seemed to believe he as speaking the
almighty "truth" of the universe as well...hmmm...is anyone besides me
seeing a trend here?
I do have a "hot-line" to God through prayer (me --> God) and the Bible
(God --> me). I believe that the Bible, the Word of God, is the truth, and
that what God says is Absolute Truth. (The existence of absolute truth is
vehemently ignored in the world today.)
