While the quote is thought provoking, I would have to be one of those “ones” that would argue that the bumper sticker is too focused on the spiritual. I think that throughout the Scriptures you can see the importance of the body/flesh/etc. You made the point that bodies will come and go, however I believe that this aspect of humanity was not always so. Remember, Adam and Eve had a physical body before the induction of sin, which would lead to the cessation of the body, death. In addition, 1 Corinthians 15 discusses the whole idea of the resurrected body of Christ, as well as followers of Christ. So even through death, humans, particularly believers, will be reunited with a body (a new body in Christ). Ultimately, the whole of humanity is woven so closely between the body and spirit that I think it is an understatement to say that humans are solely spiritual with only physical experiences.Mathew Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087709731580499925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-88650487863728776242011-02-25T13:25:39.733-08:002011-02-25T13:25:39.733-08:00This is a really interesting post and I can't ...This is a really interesting post and I can't help but wonder what the word "spiritual" means to the writer and the driver that matter. We discussed in class that many religions and even atheists can consider themselves to be spiritual and yet are not focused on gaining a closer relationship with God. I looked up a few definitions for the word and one stated that spirituality is the process of getting to know your inner sense of being. But what does your inner sense of being consist of apart from God? Who is it that you are getting to know? Like you I think these types of sayings can be extremely misleading and somewhat deceptive.Porsha Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691175776438236978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-85993450411216497542011-02-25T13:22:36.053-08:002011-02-25T13:22:36.053-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Porsha Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691175776438236978noreply@blogger.com
