Subject: RE: BS: Is there any merit to creationism?
Mtheth, believing you are asking a serious question, rather than the argumentation of some here, I will venture a few, far from exhaustive thoughts.       As you are aware that I trust the bible for revelation, you will expect that to be the bedrock of any "concept" I have on the subject.    First, Jesus said that god is spirit, so although we may have an image in our minds, and religious art has portrayed him oft as you describe ,I don't know that he is visible as such.      However these descriptions are taken from visions that bible characters experienced, and are described as seeing him.    This looks like a bit of a contradiction but bearing in mind that Jesus said that " he that has seen me has seen the father" seeing a vision of him might also in some sense be seeing him who is essentially nvisible.   But as Jesus ascended bodily back to the father believers will see the divine in the person of the saviour in eternity. As I say....a few thoughts.
