Imagine Bearer:
We bear an inherent dignity, value, and worth because we bear the image of God. We are not God, we are creatures.
We display what is true about an unlimited God in limited human form.
Psychosomatic Unity: We are a unity of body and soul.
Complex Dichotomy: We have two parts, a material part (a body) and an immaterial part (a soul).
New Paganism: Extreme attention is applied to what the creature views as the exalted form of living or “the good life. Hyper individualized and radically siloed and segmented.
