Joe:

Thanks for a kind, sensitive and thoughtful answer.

I am intrigued about your perspective on the nature of God, as I am sympathetic to it myself; but my question about Jesus, who seems to be addressed by most Christians as a separate enittiy, you did not answer, and I assume this is because you do not want to drift into dogma. I applaud this. I would be interested if you wish to answer, though.

Jim: thanks for also answering. Do you think His spiritual nature, which clearly transcends the life cycle of his body, is also shared by human 'souls', if I am using the word correctly?
