With the Holy Spirit , there is divine guidance , there is the conviction of sin , you abominate sin or immoral life, enthusiasm in doing God's work etc .

https://www.nairaland.com/3220590/questions-god-bible-christianity-bring/26#50949382

Atheism blatantly rejects the nature of good and evil because it believes the source of morality which is God does not exist . So they let authorities to decide what's good or evil (societal laws/secular morality ) or decide themselves (subjective morality )

Your opinion on this too; https://www.nairaland.com/3220590/questions-god-bible-christianity-bring/21#48907190

Freewill is not concerned with the consequence of one's actions . Freewill is about having choices , like an untrammeled life . You are free to do whatever you want but you should be ready to face the consequence of your actions be it good or bad .

God's sovereignty comes into play in cases of predestination .

The best way to understand what it means to have the Holy Spirit is to actually have the Holy Spirit . When you experience the Holy Spirit yourself then you can have the best understanding of how He works .

Didn't I just ask you to explain what good and evil is to a deist . You don forget

I'm still waiting for Sarrassin to explain what good and evil is to a pantheist

Freethinkers would most likely subscribe to secular morality

You asked for my opinion and this is your response ? Anyway , the intelligent robot has freewill , and the creator isn't culpable for the robot's actions because freewill is not concerned with the consequence of your actions . So if the robot does something bad , it is not flagitious to deactivate the robot forever .

The same way God gave humans freewill and shouldn't be blamed for the evil man does . And is right to punish the errant human for his aberration .

Suicide!!!

So why did Jesus commit suicide ?

Anyway , Jesus is the best example of predestination . Jesus' death was predestined as the recourse to save man from the wrath of God .

You've been no where bro . If you have had the Holy Spirit , no modicum of doubt would have come to mind because there is that divine assurance . Another wonderful thing about having the Holy Spirit is clairvoyance , sometimes .



So why don't you ask an atheist on his opinion of good and evil?

Its gratuitous to ask for his opinion since he fails to acknowledge the source of morality which is God . The atheist believes life has no purpose , no meaning and that good and evil do not exist in reality and they are just human constructs that can evolve as time goes on .

At first i had no doubt.
But when i kept listening to messages and doing some personal study, (still having a christian view then,) i found out that most of the doctrines i accepted as right were inconsistent or i get fresh "rhema" (like on universalism, purpose, or the other thread currently goin on about speaking in tongues and so on).
Consequently, i would think (1corinthians 2:9-10) was taking effect in my life and i would sometimes tell myself, "4kings, you were wrong, and the holyspirit is making his words clearer to you and having a deeper relationship with you", but the thought of me having conviction on a previous subject matter and also considering the fact that i thought i was inspired by the holyspirit, was hugely part of what made me later start questioning christian doctrines(testing the spirit) and eventually not accepting the core christian beliefs.

You are working on presumptions - you felt you had the Holy Spirit . So after your transition to deism , did ever think "what if I never had the Holy Spirit and I was only inveigled to question my faith by the devil ? " I think all you needed was spiritual guidance from the Church or Chaplaincy. And you failed to get that .

Faith sometimes makes u see what is not there, no matter your religion.

The point is that when the time comes, it turns out to be true every time .

The source of morality to a deist is not God
So wetin u dey yarn?
.

To a deist , morality is intrinsic - ingrained by God . So God still remains the source .

Ya, "the devil", i always considered that, but i let it go eventually.
Probably i didn't get enough spiritual guidance, but i still haven't gotten anything reasonable.
Still read my bible though, from the Gnostic point of view. wink

I will get back on this, after u've completed that other research i told you to.

Ok.
The fact that atheists don't believe life has a purpose, does not mean that they don't have conscience or reason in the path of morality. An atheist can't butcher his kid simply because life has no purpose. You dig?

Gnosticism is utter nonsense . An example is Catharism .

KingEbukasBlog:


Well , the heretics peddled teachings that were contrary to the accepted doctrine of Church . There was Catharism that saw the god of the old testament as an evil god or Satan . According to the Cathars , the evil god created the physical realm while good God which the God of the New Testament created the spiritual realm . They believed that the human spirit were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of the evil god who will then undergo reincarnation . They were against marriage and assented to fornication .

Clearly , we can see that these heretical teachings are incongruous with the accepted doctrine of the Church .Catharism is heretical God is the same God of the Old and New Testament , and God is the creator of both the physical and spiritual realm . And Satan is not a creator god . Spirits are the immaterial part of man that connect to God . Of course we know that fornication is a sin .

lol i wouldnt put labels on myself. just cuz the bible is esoteric does not mean everything in it is arbitrary and abstract. all those things happened but just not in the literal manner they are written about. and with regards to the other question you asked me the other day, i didnt answer it because i have been down that road many times. once you unravel one part of the bible then the person wants you to unravel everyhing and then a million questions start flying from everywhere. well if adam and real are not real human beings then who does it say that they were naked ? well if they are not humans then why does it say they ate a fruit ? well then who is cain and abel ? well then etc etc etc etc etc and the questions never stop lolzzz. so i didnt want to go down that path of infinite questions

I don't like labels too, but esoteric interpretations has to do with more of Gnosticism

And regarding Adam and Eve, i have a bit of understanding from it, but just wanted to get another Gnostic view. I don't believe the story was intended to be literal.

from my Gnostic understanding Adam represents ego or consciousness, Eve represents the subconscious, and Eden is the conscious and the subconscious working in harmony. The conscious impregnates the subconscious and gives birth to physical realities = "Eve Mother of All". And the whole story was about the Human Mind.

What do u mean by getting your source from the creator?, every knowledge seeking believer regardless of their denominations, seek to search for God on their own, and come out with different interpretations. Which made me ask KingEbukasBlog how a Christian can discern delusion from the Inspiration of the HolySpirit.

yeah thats EXTRA gnostic. i dont subscribe to that kind of Gnosticism. the bible is real and the events are real. its just that they are written in a covert way which makes it not a literal event but a real event nevertheless. however what you are postulating here is totally different. the bible is a tangible book and not a book about consciousness. there was a man named julius caesar now lol
