NEATO !!!!!!! I remember 25 as being a very good year.

<grin> I'm very happy for you. I, OTOH, am 25 now, and it looks like I'm going to have to spend eternity in a wheelchair according to your theory. Now if you'd said 23, I could've gone with that. That was a good year

I think you should be able to pick any year you want as long as you are producing more cells than are dying.

I think he works on a plan where he MUST contradict himself daily...That is the only explanation for it.

The verse about "this generation shall not pass" is talking about the Generation that sees the end times, which Jesus just described

What generation is that ?sounds like the cart before the horse.

Sorry about this; my brain's still wondering about God having a body.

If God has a physical form, how can he be omnipresent?

Jesus is the physical form of God. God the Father (Yahweh) is spiritual.

I am aware that this is the traditional Christian position, which is why I addressed the question to R'BAC, who has said that he believes "God is a guy".

But thanks for your interest, Magus

Did I really say I believe God is a guy? Sorry about that. I believe very few things. And many times I carelessly use the word believe, when I really mean "I think" or " I think it is more likely that" Sorry about that. Will try to more careful in the future. I most certainly meant in that case -I thought God might be a guy.

However, I just recently watched "Dogma" on video. Neat concept of a female God there. May switch over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

As far as whether God is spiritual or physical? Darned if I know for sure. I suppose, since God can be pretty much anything He wants to be, He could be either or both.

Anyway, next time I see Him, I'll ask Him. (hopefully not for a long, long time)

Is it the traditional Christian position? In would seem to be more recent spin doctoring. An explanation of why no one has seen god. Just as "free will" is a recent explanation of why god never does anything.
In the bible you have a physical god showing up all the time, walking in the garden in the cool of the evening, showing Moses his neither regions, etc. And god the father being a spirit would contradict the third person of the Trinity being the spirit of god.
