Default Re: A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson

Drake,

One more thing to consider. Even if you successfully argue that some of the verses are talking about our life when the life of God is added, it is still talking about the life that we live as a result of that, not the life that God lives. In gospel terms, it is a sales pitch. It is telling you how much better YOUR life could be. God gives excellent life.

BTW. All of the life that we have came from God. So why don't we have zoe all the time?

The answer is because zoe is not an ingredient. It is a state of being. Bios is something that is. It is tangible. While psuche is not so tangible, it is still the working of our being in the way that we operate as living humans. But zoe is how you live as a biologically and psychologically alive person. Is your whole living mundane or is it zoe. Is it full.

God's life is surely full. But it is not the definition of zoe. Or full. A very good example. But not the definition.
