joseph1013:
A crazy concept. And I understand the argument. Where the intellectual dishonesty comes in is when they can't comprehend why the greater greater designer does not have to be designed? How? Explain? Am I not giving you back your argument?

Even a child understands why God needs a designer.
What if the Principle of Causality, does not apply in the plane where the designer comes from?
What if this plane is an intrinsic part of this designer or the designer an intrinsic part of the plane?

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
Just like there was a country called Egypt. I get your whole balance of esoteric interpretations from real events, that's why it's called "Interpretations"

But you've not answered my other question

How??
Pantheism has to do with identifying the universe and its components with God.
Buddhism concept of Supreme Knowledge has to do with reaching the God-self.

The concept of Buddhism is complex, so it is not easy to just place a label on it.
But it identifies a higher reality which atheist don't.

The final/last being is then called God

That is the concept of theism I guess.
The concept of Final/Last in this context is mind-boggling

yeah i get my source of wisdom from the Creator by tapping within and not what some drug addled white guy postulates. lolzz. not saying the article you posted is by a drug addled white guy but i dont read such. but ermm i digress, behind the words adam and eve and cain etc etc behind those words are secrets. adam is a cover name for a nation of people. its not representing one person. you can look at the name as a title but under that name is a nation of people. the process of condensing groups of people under one name when writing is called ALLEGORY

GALATIANS 4 VS 24 Which things are an allegory:
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.

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.

You will do well to explain, point by point how you have done that.
Baba, i no get time 4 dis.
I came to your thread because i like the points presented and i want to see relevant contributions.
So don't derail your own thread, and focus on the object of this thread, since u cant figure out what's irrational about ur claim after introducing Gnosticism

It's not harmless. In as much as the whole ideological concept of gnosticism is based on assumptions, abstractions and irrational imposition of rules that are of no unique benefits.
I dont want to discuss Gnosticism with you, especially with this attitude
But i'm satisfied that u know ur irrational claim has been disproved. wink

Gnosticism is utter nonsense . An example is Catharism .
I've not even heard of Catharism before now, apparently it started during the 12th and 14th century, and should in no way be a ground for this horrific generalization.

I have always emphasized the idealistic basis of religion. Just that it's terribly an evil idea, that needs to be effectively constrained.

Religion does no good to humanity. It rather infect human with all kinds of evils.

HCpaul:
In a world where every bishops, pastors, prophets, and apostles couldn't prophecy about the American election, TB Joshua led the team and took up the bold step of making prediction.

His failed prophecy is not my concern but just that things like this are what validates to us the reality of divinity.

He's better off than folks like Oyedepo, Adeboye, Chris and Kumuyi that cannot even predict a single line of word concerning the election.

TB Joshua is a religious geek who deserves our medal.
grin grin
Talking about prophecy, Oyedepo prophesied in 2012 that Covenant University would be one of the top ten universities in the world by 2022.
Patiently waiting for that year. KingEbukasBlog should know about this.

The idea of original sin in western theology is slightly different from that of the orthodox.
Parents who have diseases may transmit same to their children. This is how l understand original sin, and not the elaborate theology of saint Augustine et al.
So u are saying the parents influence the children?

Sigh!

An atheist does not believe in powers correct?

Does not believe in gods correct?

The evil forest is said to have powers and used in the worship of a certain god correct?

what then is the concern of an Atheist for the destruction of it if to an atheist its just bushess and trees?


His focus is not on the act but on those who carried out the act and twistin the whole story to look like he cares about the act when his very foundation does not believe in the said act.

Mischief 100%. Deception 100% . Hypocrisy 100%

Yeah . cool
therefore their concept of morality is out of reasoning, which defines what's good or bad.
