I know I'm a year late, but I would like to add something that may be misunderstood with temples. Temples don't receive worship. You don't worship a temple, they are places for worship to something else. If anything this language that we are a temple should be encouraging, you, directly you can do stuff for the direct worship of God. You don't need to go anywhere, or somewhere specific to do so.

@@executer40 I agree with you. But I commented in light of the video content that seems to disagree with your point.

No.

Yes, we might nuance it just slightly to say that human beings are called to be the material representatives of the invisible God.

@@NTWrightOnline Is that a call forward into a new objective reality or a call back into a pre-existing one?

I love that expression you mentioned human as “image bearer”

Great question! Tom has contributed significantly to Biologos.org and has many articles there that will help you understand his views. This one is helpful to understand how language was intended in ancient contexts: biologos.org/resources/understanding-ancient-texts-with-n-t-wright. Also, for more depth, you may consider the book, "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton. Tom, who shares similar perspectives to Walton, also contributes to this book. Tom also offers an online course on Genesis in which you may be interested. You can see a free preview here: www.admirato.org/order?ct=c646fe38-b3a8-48c5-8dd7-a3ee1d01febb We'd love to hear your thoughts as you continue your exploration! --NTW Online Team

@@NTWrightOnline wow thank you for those resources - i'd never heard of that site. Should indeed be helpful. Thanks again!

That's only a problem if you read the text as a science book.

Evolution overwhelming evidence 😂 sure. What evidence would you need because both creation and evolution needs a miracle to get them off the ground. A miracle with a miracle maker or a miracle without a miracle maker. Yep evolution sounds super logical alright shoved down your throat for 12 years and If evolution is true why care what anyone really believes in cause we’re just DNA dancing to our own tune.

The evidence that evolution is junk science is overwhelming. The idea that the universe and all it contains happened by accident has no basis in real science.
