Re: Omnipotence of God
dould of unkowing is not Hinusim. you are merely assuming that the thing in the bible is not a meditative state becuase you assume "It cant' be, mediation is bad." But it is, and there's no reason why it can't be. cloud of unkowning is English, early middle or dark ages. Its Christian. Check this a...

Re: Omnipotence of God
Everthing else is interesting, or not, depending on your point of view but just seems to me for the most part to cause divisions. :? That's the way I see it too. And Hesychasm means "silence", but what precisely people here define it as, and what it means in practice, they'll have to say. But in th...

Re: Thought about Nontheistic Christianity
Well, actually, :oops: that's my definition, 2ThePoint-- Metacrock was just saying he agreed with it. But the "quote" command somehow didn't work quite right in his post, and it came out looking like he had said it. :) Ah, sorry. So I still need one from Meta. Well, here's the dictionary definition...

Re: Thought about Nontheistic Christianity
The term "father" is an analogical term. God is like and not like a father. all "likeness" also contains "no like" or it wouldn't' make sense. So we must be aware of both the positive likeness and the merely metaphorical nature of metaphors. Agreed. God uses this term on himself, but it isn't the o...

Re: Omnipotence of God
I appreciate that you are making an attempt to be understanding to people but you are not trying hard enough. your attitude is smug. I don't share your views on end times. I dont' take ever tying in the bible literally. How is my attitude "smug" but theo's is not? Or yours? I see no difference ther...

Re: Omnipotence of God
Thats a good idea, Theo on ignore! He sure rev's himself up doesnt he? He's like a glass eye at a keyhole, you can see through it but it can see nothing. He should call himself Theocrat, or maybe Theodolite. Takes himself very seriously doesnt he. I've met quite a lot of different people online, an...

Re: Omnipotence of God
For the record, I have theo on ignore, so I am blissfully unaware of whatever he's ranting about. But Meta, pretty much everybody's "facts of history" are wrong at some point-- including yours. What always amuses me is how willing people are to swallow any claim for authenticity about every book exc...

Re: Omnipotence of God
Good job on that post about Babylon too, Haz. I've read bits of that in other places and it's very interesting to study. It also touches on another important point: the pagan influence of all that even on the Protestant churches. There is some evidence of the beginnings of clergy/laity class distinc...
