Hi PD,
PD writes:
Now whether one believes that Jesus was preexistent or just human, the fact of the story is that Jesus exists as an eternal being. We know this because Jesus communicated with Paul. Again, that doesn't mean he is YHWH.
In regards to the above and the entire eternal being thing.
JC said the following:
JC writes:
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:5)
So it would appear JC was with God BEFORE the universe existed. That's a long time ago and since he's still around that's close enough to eternal for me. That he picked up a body to live and work among us and then dropped it off has nothing to do with being eternal. It might matter to you if you are fixated on the idea of your being a body, actually quite common among religious people and atheists.
