The servants of God known as prophets and saints, are visible human bodies used to testify to the invisible eternal image of our Creator.
Temporary is what can be melted away with very high heat including human bodies.
What else do you think is temporary that is not eternal?
Eternal versus temporary.

Post #3What exactly is an ‘invisible eternal image’?
‘combustible’ might be a better word if you are trying to classify things by their permanence in the presence of high temperatures.Temporary is what can be melted away with very high heat including human bodies.
Pretty much everything - the only thing likely to be ‘eternal’ is the heat death of the universe. We know that most stars will run out of fuel and die in only a hundred billion years or so, for example. Here’s a helpful video:What else do you think is temporary that is not eternal?

Re: Eternal versus temporary.
Post #4Human bodies are composed of inanimate matter. As we know from the process of cremation, that inanimate matter does not melt away it is simply converted to a different form.
The formation inanimate matter takes is temporary. What once was a living being is reduced to it's component parts. There is no reason to conclude that the component parts are temporary nor is there any reason to conclude that there are any non-material aspects to living beings.What else do you think is temporary that is not eternal?

At least you understand what "being melted" means.

Not all invisible frequencies that produce light can melt visible illusions. However, frequencies that cause very high heat can melt away those invisible light frequencies that form images.

Re: Eternal versus temporary.
Post #8Human bodies will not melt into thin air. As the body is heated some of the fat may melt, but as the temperature is increased everything will burn. Most of the flesh will be converted to carbon dioxide and steam which will escape into the air and be dispersed. At high enough temperatures, any residue may be vaporised. In any case, all of the atoms that made up the original body will still exist just in different forms and in different locations. Nothing mysterious about any of it so the point you are trying to make is completely lost on me.

Re: Eternal versus temporary.
Post #10So, please tell us what invisible frequencies that produce light can melt visible illusions. An example of a visible illusion being melted would help in understanding what you are trying to say.
Also, what invisible light frequencies form images and what is the significance of that?
