Re: Christianity

To whoever posted questions as to why I believe the Cross expresses the essential meaning and purpose of Christianity, I had some personal problems necessitated being away from the Internet for a week. Your questions were good and deserve answers. Feel free to try again since your post may have been...

Re: Christianity

To whoever sent me those meaningful questions as to why the Cross is essence and purpose of Christianity. I had some personal problems requiring me to be absent from the Internet. I can't find your post. Either it was deleted or I'm going senile. :) Anyhow if those questions seriously interest you, ...

Re: Christianity

Has anyone really pondered the essence of Christianity...? Earlier you posted the following: The essence and value of Christianity lies in the Cross. But as we have seen, it isn't wanted by the world. Can you elaborate on this? I will give my explanation which is different then the usual secular co...

Re: Christianity

"To whom do we belong? This is the core question of the spiritual life. Do we belong to the world, its worries, its people and its endless chain of urgencies and emergencies, or do we belong to God and God's people." Henri Nouwen I've read many of these previous posts and wonder what they...

"Fool’s gold exists because there is real gold." –Rumi This thread is filled with fool's gold. According to Rumi, there must be some real gold hidden within all that fool's gold. Where?? But there must be some sage-quote that would refer to those who can't or won't see gold (value) where ...

Re: Christianity

Dude wtf they sold my wilderness camp? I can't believe this. a part of my childhood has been stripped away and turned into a goddamn real estate deal, cold, shrewd and impersonal like a capitalist. And an auction no less. Bro you can't sell the sacred ground of some of my most important years to th...

Re: Christianity

I'm going with swami D, Nick. He said God doesn't expect or care anything about receiving devotion and actually digs atheists becuz they challenge people and stuff. You must be referring to Christendom. Christianity doesn't have a personal God. The essence and value of Christianity lies in the Cros...

Re: Christianity

Christianity is tearing us apart, Nick! The problem isn't Christianity but spiritual blindness supported by egoism. Years ago Nietzsche claimed God is dead. The Great beast has taken it one step further and now claims Christianity is dead replaced by Christendom. The Beast raises a toast inviting o...

Re: Christianity

Closing in on 600 posts and still no agreements as to what Christianity is. People prefer to argue about God. Perhaps it is better that way since Christianity isn't ruined for those who look in and may need it. The real and essential symbol of Christianity is the Cross. It is ignored in favor of arg...

Re: Christianity

If the earth and everything on it were destroyed by a collision with a massive asteroid, would justice continue to exist in our universe? Would God continue to have the same nature and character, the one in which "justice" is grounded as a property? Yes, obviously. Would there be any huma...

Re: Christianity

I C But you want to launch an accusation against God Himself. To which society, with its concept of "justice," would you appeal, in order to do this? What convinces you that the Supreme Being owes you a particular outcome in life or death? A question for you. Do you believe a personal God...

Re: Christianity

Let me rephrase then: you're essentially proposing that "Unless one was promised something (in this case justice), one is not entitled to it, and cannot complain about not receiving it". That's better, Harry...closer to what I'm saying. It's still, as I wrote, a massive non sequitur. Cons...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

... Progress has devolved philosophy into the love of argument. Who cares about wisdom or even knows what it is? The important thing is winning the argument to prove what in reality, you don't understand. The philosophy of the past was the monograph, where one person presents a particular view. In ...
