Lent.

[Gwaihir]

The Syzygy of faith, a double bifurcation of Ego and Christ-Self:
Greed------\|/-------Trust
-------------Faith--------------
Fear--------/|\--------Generosity

In ego, we isolate ourselves from God, and we fear the steadfastness of God's providence is not real. As such, we become greedy, because of the fear if we do not Hoard, we are liable to die going without.

On the other side of the cross, that fear is transformed into Trust. We trust that we can be generous toward others, because God is taking of our needs.

That is Faith.

Everything that resides on the ego-side of the bifurcation is illusory, in the process of spiritual alchemy the zeroes are cast into the lake of fire, leaving only the 1s. Thank you for the opportunity to express this truth. Fear is a Sin, it resides on the other side of the cross, bro. We love you.

I spent my drive in to work listening to this. Pretty interesting perspective.

Listen to some Bart D. Ehrman he will really open your mind to the history of earth, I think fennin its a big deal that you watch all three of these.

If you want to hear the most critical and historical look at the new testament, there is none better than Bart D. Ehrman's.

[Gwaihir]

I've already watched most of Ehrman's videos. It's important to note Bart is an Athiest, so while he is good at deconstruction, he has no impetus to reconstruct.

To clarify, deconstruction is a useful tool, but it is only a "step" toward synthesis.

In bloom's taxonomy, initial knowledge is learned by rote, and as it progresses it encounters the deconstruction stage. At the top of the pyramid of knowing what you know resides synthesis or "reconstruction". You're a fool if you stop at deconstruction declaring truth.

Its important to know that he became an athiest just 2 years ago, for the last 5 he was an agnostic, and the 30 before that he was an evangelical.

He became an athiest after his last book, which is based on what he speaks about in these 3 viedos.

Before its publication he was an agnostic.

And he became one, because he was an evangelical historian, who wanted to find unbiased historical evidence of our past to prove it was real.

He did that, and began to see major cracks.

And since then, he kept going, and found enough to decide that it is all just history, and not magical history.

His entire carrier was to reconstruct, it's just after that long journey, he decided it all happened, but in a much more normal way: governance and revolution.

That's equivalent to disassembling a magnificent piece of architecture into a pile of raw materials and then walking away declaring you've built a masterpiece. You see that, right?

[Jibartik]

Not at all.

It's like taking a magnificent piece of architecture, that many people said they built.

Actually investigating the history.

Then finding out it wasn't built by any of them.

That's because it was "built" by something other than "people" broseph; despite "people's" meddling. The truth of the construct exists independent of its builders.

Look, there is ntohign I want more than for a glowing man to fly in and punsh all these people but..

If you want to really find the truth you cant close your eyes to it.

You never know, the antichrist may be jesus, and the whole war between good and evil took place 2k years ago and since then god has left us to the ruin.

All you can really do is, take it all in, and then hedge your bets.

I figure if nobody shows up by 2027-31, then nobody is going to show up in my life, so I may as well get on with it.

I'm not talking about a glowing man in the sky. Anthropomorphism of psychological and spiritual elements is for literalist retards. Don't strawman me. Have I, at any point in these revelations, posited the remedial concept of a skydaddy? You're resulting to a rather ignorant position to defend your ignorance right now.
