@sablechicken,

Both you and Hank Hanegraaff confuse the flesh with the spirit.

[sablechicken]

How do you figure that?

You have got to be kidding me. I don't know who you are trying to kid... Why would you make up a lie about "recalling past lives first hand"? All you have Is THIS life, my friend. Creation is etched in everything around you. Look around.

pt. 3...Too many 'religious leaders' have really no notion of what SOUL is or how CONSCIOUSNESS manifests. Can't dogs and cats show the same feelings as humans..love..fear..jealousy..­sadness..? Why, because they are SOUL, too. It's just they aren't as far along as SOUL'S in human form, so they don't form religions. I have recalled countless past lives from primative to present. I have exp. this evolvement first hand. I have also escorted deceased pets to the other side. All life is SOUL.

Pt. 2 No. Paul started out as an infant but grew over many years into an adult, and then, an ILLUMINATED ADULT. Now imagine SOUL starting out in an infant stage and thru many lifetimes developing thru the stages of mineral, plant, animal, human and then ILLUMINATED HUMAN stage. GOD cannot create a SOUL in the adult stage, anymore than a person can be born an adult. SOUL has to GROW into the HIGHER STATES. Therefore, different bodies are provided at the various stages of SOUL'S development.

[moranplano]

Pt. 1 I apologize if I misunderstood definitions. But, my supposition remains. Natural selection is not the engine that drives evolution, rather it is SOUL Itself, and It's own EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS that drives the evolution of species. When a child is 3 the parents give it tricycle, at 6 the child is given a bicycle. Was the tricycle a dead-end..a mistake? No. Rather it suited the child (SOUL) at that particular stage of development. Was the Apostle Paul born an adult?

I believe you're confused on the difference between theistic evolution and cosmic evolution. Theistic evolution is the belief that God used evolution to bring about the PHYSICAL universe, and is supported by the gap theory. Cosmic evolution is what you are referring to, and I hope you consider the moral implications of what you are claiming before you truly believe it.

[moranplano]

I believe Hanegraff doesn't understand Theistic Evolution.. It is the EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS. When SOUL, a Unit of DIVINE AWARENESS comes into this world, IT begins organizing atoms (Mineral Consciousness), then it Quantum Leaps into Plant Consciousness expanding from one celled plants to trees, then, animal consciousness, then Human Consciousness from primative to modern to ENLIGHTENED.  This isn't done by Random Selection, rather by careful DIVINE DESIGN. It is the TRUE PURPOSE OF LIFE.

@sablechicken,

Well, the theory of evolution is purely material. It says nothing about the soul. Scripture says our bodies come from dust.
