Faith and the Body

The notion of God's existence is a proposition that cannot be proved directly by the senses. We cannot seek him with our eyes, our ears, our nose, our taste or our touch.  But yet we persist in the satisfaction of our senses with the vain expectation that sensuality and the discovery of God are unrelated or, even worse, that sensuality is a route to the discovery of God.

Can anyone find anything in the scriptures or prophetic record that suggests that the senses are the source of spiritual understanding? What does Romans 6:12-13,16,19 say? How about Jude 1:14-20? It is impossible to see God with the senses.

But one does not give up the body altogether to discover God. One must eat, one must hear the word of God and see it written to increase understanding. Even touch is vital to mortal experience. We multiply and replenish led by the sensual instincts that culminate in blissful fulfillment of touch in orgasm and ejaculation. We nurture and love through an encompassing embrace. But the senses are never an end in themselves. The senses are necessary but insufficient. Failure to understand their insufficiency will fully prevent the discovery of God.
