We have this erroneous belief that our ancestors were drooling idiots!
No one I know has this BELIEF. Do you have the BELIEF that your ancestors were drooling idiots?

No one you know has that belief. Good to know. You know some smart people, learn from them.

What's the problem, I fail to see one but only from a certain naya of course.

That is VERY OBVIOUS. But, after all, you are likely using a VERY DIFFERENT definition for the word 'problem' that I do.Agent Smith wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 9:46 amThe part after the "Or" is likely true!Age wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:53 amI suggest you respond to what is only asked for.Agent Smith wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 7:53 am

Re: God and the Philosophers
A question for Theists is, how can we live in relationship to a personal God, while unable to prove His existence?
By Faith We Understand
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

"The divine is God's concern; the human, man's. My concern is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is 'mine,' and it is not a general one, but is - 'unique,' as I am unique. Nothing is more to me than myself!"
