Originally posted by josephwI agree that God in the person of Jesus, became flesh, lived a sinless life, was crucified and died for the sins of mankind. He also was resurrected and is now with God the Father.
Will all who believe that God became a man, lived a sinless life, was crucified, and rose from the dead, please post here.
Setting aside our denominational or doctrinal differences momentarily, I would like to know how many of us there are here in this forum.
All others need not reply! (Unless you can't resist)

Originally posted by whodeyAre they tangible? Well they are feelings that I have. You could probably measure the particular patterns of electrical and chemical activity in my brain and detect that I have a feeling of awe (by comparison with the patterns in effect when I had previously reported such feelings).
And are these senses of wonder and awe tangible? Are they logical? From my perspective the soul is the medium between the spiritual, the intangible, and the material world which is the tangible portion of our existence.
Are they logical? They are by-products of my mental activity. I'm sure that logic really comes into it.
Try reading Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennet. It's heavy going in places but I think I got the gist of it and it seems to explain this sort of thing pretty well. Although I have no doubt that it is not The Right Answer, it could be pretty close.

Originally posted by josephwI would consider myself a (although somewhat weak) Christian, but there are many aspects of the Bible that I do not agree with.
I'm trying to see how many christians there are in this forum that believe the bible.
I don't know if that includes me in your "list" or not, but take it as it is.
