A human knows we live just as a human.

Mass was pre formed in space and we are not mass otherwise we would be joined existing only as what a human says is God. Mass. O a planet or its created heavens.

By thinking.

I am the king thin King. A child that God as a human cares and protects.

Notice we say we are of God as we use God in terms to live. But we are not God as we are not mass.

Thin king says so. Human thinking says all the quotes. What I know is real. What I realise. I said God protected my life.

Jewish shin king to love your God.

We are mainly water oxygenated using energy food of spirit microbes.

So we said water is holy of god reverence it.

Take care of it and keep our body cleansed and holy to our best ability.

Healthy body healthy mind was once a true human teaching.

If a man as an adult pays no homage to his life's presence via his father as an adult maybe he needed to be reminded whose spirit he belonged to instead of ignoring his brothers equality in life.
"...homage to life's presence" What's that mean?
"His father" What's his dad have do do with anything?
"...whose spirit he belonged to" ---- ?????

1 Corinthians 6:20

God is Spirit and can be in us and promises to dwell in a Christian, but I have always understood 1Cor 6:20 to mean "with" our body and "with" our spirit. That is also what many translations have.

Why does God need "glorification?"
Perhaps he just needs therapy....

1Cor 6:20 is speaking to those who have been bought by the blood of Jesus and who have freely given themselves to the service of God, body, mind and spirit.
To glorify God is part of the right relationship we should have with God because of who and what God is if understood correctly. God wants to show us that right relationship.
Many people who have not got that relationship get it all wrong and mock those who have it and curse the God who gave us life and everything else we have.

but what is god in the body if the Holy spirit of self is the same? 1 Corinthians 6:19 what is the fruit of the Spirit?

what is it in john 14:20? what part about self is god?

if the statement is true, then what is god within self?


why are the two greatest commandments alike, where is self in this ideal?


what is it about self that is in this ideal?


we're not speaking of a thing, a god, apart from self.

I don't understand the question.
It doesn't say God is part of us.
It means we choose to do good with our physical being because doing so glorifies God.

The only part of my body that is worthy any glorification is exactly that part that computes Paul's God to be utterly ridiculous. So, I am not sure how to solve this vexing conundrum.

Right? This is why there are over 40,000 denominations of Christianity. o_O
not realy surprising. teacher assigns a book for reading and then asks for a book report. you get different interpretations, or reports, because of the viewer's experiences, biases, and filters.

[then maybe ask a question?
the verse before it does say it is a part of you. 1 corinthians 6:19. god fills the heavens and earth jeremiah 23:24. god is immanent, omnipresent,


only god is good. what is god?

Only God is totally good, but we can do good. And yes, it's by his spirit. But we aren't little gods.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Psalm 37:27

Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide forever.

...

Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:24

He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8

If we live by that spirit and show how good it is, we glorify God by the actions that are from God.

How do you know all this? If true, why isn't there general agreement?
Can you link to research, or is this just preaching?

No, I don't know that, I don't even know that there is a God.
You've linked to a Bible passage. Could you link to an authoritative, evidenced study, to support your point?
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:24

He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8

If we live by that spirit and show how good it is, we glorify God by the actions that are from God.
[/quote] Again the Bible isn't an authoritative source. There are a hundred of different different religions, with a hundred different scriptures. How are any of these any less authoritative than the Bible? Christians can't even agree on their interpretations of the Bible.
First, support your major premise: God.
Second, Indicate why the Bible is a reliable source of any information pertaining to this.
why are the two greatest commandments alike, where is self in this ideal?
Are these the "love God; love thy neighbor" commandments? Don't many religions and social systems have similar commandments?
The first begs evidence for this God, and reasons why we should love him. The second is just ordinary family and social values.
