For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily I don't think there is any wiggle room in the term "bodily". It means a physical body. Don't ignore the context of the Colossian letter especially chapter 2 which deals specifically with the pre-Gnostic heresy the was besieging the Church in that city. According to Greek philosophical thought, matter was considered to be evil and the thought of God existing in a human body was being rejected. Paul is stressing not only the Divinity of Christ but also his full and continuing Humanity. I would also like to extend the same challenge to you that I did to James. If what you claim is true, then where is the historical evidence from the writings of the early church? P.S. Skip the not so subtle digs and stay with the facts. Then perhaps we won't get off track like before. Greg
