Now I'm no hebrew scholar, but I thought you might find this interesting... in regards to your friend's statement:

"That's it, God is Spirit; we are made in His image, so we are spirit, too!"

In the Hebrew, Genisis 1:27 literally translated into:

"and-he-is-creating Elohim the human in-image-of-him in-image-of Elohim he-creates him male and-female he-creates him."

Has God "created" man in His own image or is God "creating" man in His own image. There is a big difference.

Grace and Peace.

Josh,

That is it exactly!

 but it is soooooo true that unless The Spirit gives you eyes to see and ears to hear, that it totally "tilts" the carnal mind.

-as all this did in the beginnnig with me as well.

It takes a  lot of courage to have your boat rocked! I so pray that our friends will have their eyes opened.....and yet, until then we can only love them and pray.....and speak the truth as we are led.

All posts on this topic have been very helpful to me.

thanks and blessings,
judie h.

No, we didn't get any tornadoes.  They were all north of us.  I pray for those who did though, it was a bad storm.  It's good to be back with my online family.  God bless you gena.  :)

Hi Brian,


--- Quote ---My question was since God is spirit, and the spirit does not have consciousness of itself, then how can God be conscious?
--- End quote ---

I'm thinking that the spirit in man does not have consciousness when it leaves the body,
because God causes it to sleep, so to speak.
Now does God, as Spirit, have consciouness and what is consciousness?

CONSCIOUSNESS, n.
1. The knowledge of sensations and mental operations, or of what passes in ones own mind; the act of the mind which makes known an internal object.

So can we see in scripture that God has a mind, and that would mean consciousness.

Rev 17:17  For God gave into their hearts to do His mind (1106), and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the Words of God will be fulfilled.

G1106
γνώμη
gnōmē
cognition, that is, (subjectively) opinion, or (objectively) resolve (counsel, consent, etc.):
advice, + agree, judgment, mind, purpose, will.

Rom 8:27  And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind (5427) of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

G5427
φρόνημα
phronēma
(mental) inclination or purpose: - (be, + be carnally, + be spiritually) mind (-ed).

These are the only 2 scripture I could find,
which used the word that had the meaning of the mind of God.

Hope it helps.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
