“Christ, as the ultimate Imago Dei is alluded to in scripture as being without external beauty in the Classical sense, and should better be thought of as one who passed through all the slime and mire of a fallen and sinful creation in order to redeem it.

For the Christian, a theory of beauty might better begin at this point.” ShouldBodyMightChristianOrderChristBeautyCreationTheoryBearsUltimateMarkScriptureRememberedFallenScarResurrectionSlimeExternal Beauty Author:John Walford

“If you have eternal life at all, it simply means that you have the Son, Jesus Christ NOW! Eternal life is not a peculiar feeling inside! It is not your ultimate destination, to which you will go when you are dead.
