The wording is, "upon Him". Not surrounding or around Him. Upon is not specific enough to produce the result you want. My shoes are upon my feet, and my close are upon my body. "Atop" or "Upon His head" might be more convincing. And in either event, no circular shape is even suggested. The verse says "bodily form" Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.Je Suis Charlie Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

He was in the shape of His own bodily form and descended as a dove would the correct interpretation of the verse. The Holy Spirit is neither human nor a dove.

The Holy Spirit is neither human nor a dove. Accepting your reasoning, one could also argue that a disk is not God's own bodily form. According to you a disk is a spirit form. I know this because a circle is not Adam's bodily form. It seems that you want to read the verse sloppily when it serves your purpose, and more tightly when that serves your purpose.Je Suis Charlie Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Here twice in scripture, it shows the Spirit descending like/as a dove.
Mathew 3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. John 1:32. John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him." The dove is symbolic of the Holy Spirit because He descends like a dove, not because He "looks" like a dove.

So that's it, then? You just completely give up?

I do not have the original non-cropped image. Haven't we already seen the video from which the image was extracted? I don't think you need to worry about this question anymore.Je Suis Charlie Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

I was in error posting that. Right. And one might also ask how you concluded that the photographer was 'spiritually discerning' without knowing anything about him. That's not a reasonable way to evaluate evidence.

I know it's not, but that first image reminds me of Cryptococcus neoformans in an india ink stain, the halo's being formed by the capsule round the yeast cells. Infection, which can include meningitis, can also be acquired from pigeon/dove droppings which fits with Faith's references about the holy spirit descending as a dove.
As for the second picture, the 'halo' is obviously a tapeworm egg. The pork tapeworm Taenia solium can encyst in other regions of the human body, including the brain where it can cause neurological problems, not unlike demon possession.

Don't be ridiculous, it's obviously a fertilised human ovum, signifying the virgin birth.
