Just a quick post to keep me ticking over!
In my up 'n' coming Philosophy exam, one of the modules I have studied is 'Body, Soul and Personal Identity.' To give you a short list, we cover different religious responses to this and philosophical responses. We answer the question what makes us?
What is our personal identity?
As I was thinking about this, I was thinking back over my life so far. I thought of a song I've written about too which contains a line "you are more than the sum of your past mistakes, you are more than the problems you create....... you've been remade."
A lot of what we learn, a lot of what then makes us us is our actions; our experiences.
Through those experiences, God moulds us and shapes us. Our bodies help us to be disciples of the world, our souls connect with God and get shaped. We have a path that God laid out, it has many options. We pick one, make our own freely willed human mistake and God uses that to teach us a whole list of lessons to make us more Godly.
We are clay.
Moulded by a Creator God.
By our actions.
That'll be all.
