Lol at these low iq depressed atheists who reject the LORD as "fiction" then artificially increase the happy chemicals in their brain to cope with a godless reality.

Oh what intellectual rigor! Oh what Truth they've found!

Right, so you're unable to articulate your own metaphysical assumptions (hint: you likely have quite a few), but are somehow capable of understanding someone else's (second hint: you dont) and refuting them. odd case.

are you suggesting it could never be the case that cognitively underdeveloped ancient bros were channeling subconscious answers to existential questions that when articulated and due to low-iq came out literal but that in hindsight with the help of science we can now see to have been misinterpreted metaphysical symbolism and ought to be understood properly as as a critical cognitive phenomenon in the history of mankind that will never be repeated?

I dig Christianity but don't believe the way I think I'm supposed to. I believe God is the thing that we are becoming (i.e., apes to humans, humans to supermen, supermen to [???]). Question is whether our descendant will be enough to transcend heat death when the time comes, or if he'll just get reset-button-pwned a la the Last Question. If our descendant doesn't transcend, then he's not God.

That's Hegel/Absolute idealism, except for Hegel God doesn't need to be realized in your sense to exist (ie God is not conditioned on the outcome). God is the power that is getting to know itself through becoming.

Jesus couldn't have been God. He was a man who had limited knowledge and understanding. God is all knowing and all powerful. In the Bible, verses have him saying "Father, why have you forsaken me?" Makes no sense to say this if you're God in the flesh.

The idea of him even being THE son of God in the literal sense is innuendo and speculation, which again, is shot down by his constant referral to God as the almighty, and he, himself, just a man.

And regardless of whether he was God, the son of God, or even just a holy messenger of God, to say that we just need to believe in him as a sacrificial scapegoat and that's it, and that makes God favor you over everyone else on the planet doesn't make sense. There's no accountability besides faith, which doesn't require any sincere action and striving.

The Christian message seems to be to just throw up your hands and say, whelp, we're all sinners, but I accept Jesus as a sacrifice for my sins, so I win.

I was driving through the Carolinas and saw a billboard on the I95 that said "Are you going to Heaven or Hell? Call 855 ... ...." so I called that number.

The guy I talked to explained that salvation through faith is a modern lib take on the Bible and that real Christianity mandates you be free from sin.

Yeah, no. Even as a Jew the trinity makes sense. God made himself mortal complete with all mortal limitations including limited knowledge. Where Christianity fails is the whole unfulfilled prophecy thing. 2018 years is a bit too long a time to wait for the second coming methinks.

No, according to Maimonides God is not limited.

How do you wrestle with the unlimited God? How is the unlimited God surprised by some apple eating? In general, how does the unlimited God interact with anything that is not part of him?

You don't.

How is the unlimited God surprised by some apple eating?

He's not. He knew what was going to happen when Adam was given free will. But, Adam is the opposite of Satan in nature because he was humble to admit fault.

In general, how does the unlimited God interact with anything that is not part of him?

He can cause the physical world to do anything.

re wresting

22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”

But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”

“Jacob,” he answered.

28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”

29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”

But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.

30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.

I don't think I know enough to discuss this on the level this discussion deserves, so I am bailing out.

God is above his creation. His creation is not him. Unless you want to abrogate the Old Testament:

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

What? A Jew would never even entertain the notion of the trinity. The most important Jewish prayer is a prayer that affirms the absolute unity and oneness of God.

Jesus is not a symbol of God the father, Jesus is Jesus as the Christ. Christ is the symbol for the tension between essence (God) and existence (finitude, possessing "limited knowledge and understanding").

He was not the *factual* son of God any more than he *literally* sits at God's right hand (for of course, God does not have hands).

We are compelled to believe in the symbol of Jesus as the Christ as a means of balancing the essence/existence tension. Over time and through observation (and not through faith alone), the balance struck by accepting the symbol of Jesus as the Christ reveals itself as the proper balance.

The action/striving comes in when you're challenged to balance the tension when the world tries to shake it loose.

What does it have to be so complicated? Plenty of Christians say he's the factual son. And why is it so black and white: accept the supposed gift of Jesus' bloodshed or else hellfire?

he's not the factual son because if you had jesus' DNA you wouldn't find half of God's chromosomes. sons are not something God can have or do.

and i don't think its black and white. its an extremely efficient system of symbols for coping with unanswerable existential questions. eschew at your own risk.

I appreciate Christians, especially those who understand that salvation is a matter of not just abstractly loving God, but by respecting him by avoiding clear standards relating to sin and virtue (I happen to enjoy the Vigilant Christian's youtube channel, since he represents this sort of Christianity). Having trust in God, and remembrance of God, regardless of how life is going. I find Islam to be more simple, and I know, there are all kinds of arguments against it that I've refuted (mostly stemming from hadith quotes, which are MANMADE, and prone to fabrication and corruption), but it makes more sense to me to believe in one God above his creation, and that he is the most merciful, who has made us as his vicegerents, and will judge us according to our effort and intention. No challenge to Islam that I've encounter has ever left me stumped after further research.

I will also add, I experienced what can be only described as a jinn (demonic or metaphysical) attack, and only after being diligent in retreating into sincere and regular prayer, and regular Quran reading (which I did so critically, as we are required to do so), did I feel the attack ease up. I know Christians have reported something similar. I can't claim to understand God, nobody can, but Islam literally saved my sanity.

I am also satisfied that Jesus never intended to be thought of as God, but that the Quran seems to imply (chapter 5, verse 116 to 120) that Christians who are sincere and truthful, but misinformed may be forgiven (though that's just my understanding, I'm no religious scholar). Whereas, Christians assume I'm set for eternal damnation.

Maybe Christian religion, like fairytales or fables or Greek mythology, is metaphorical and it is more about the meaning or morals or teaching embedded into the stories. Derrrr.

The point is not that the God sacrifices His Son, the point is that the God sacrifices Himself.

Imagine you are the Almighty and you want to be killed. So now there is Christ, killable, with the limitations required, but it's still you. As a God, you can do anything you want.

Anyway, if you don't worship him the right way, he'll torture you for eternity. But if you do worship him the right way, he won't.

Man has potential to regress into mass rebellion. That's free will. We have a choice, to follow God or fall for Satan and the whisperings of him and his allies. There have been times in history where the sincere winnowed down to such a low number that all that was left of a society was the rebellious (leading to Noah's flood, or the time of Sodom and Gomorra), and the rebellious were given chance after chance. Also, hell might not be eternal in the literal sense, but more of a place of purification. And if we haven't gotten right during our life here, then we'll be taught when we are brought back to our creator, but it won't be pleasant if we bought into the lies and sinful attractions.

You should be concerned about yourself and what you're doing. We have our entire lives to seek out our creator. Life can't be some meaningless exercise. We are all created with unique abilities, unique attributes, and our creator, out of mercy, hand crafted us and we have the chance to be our best and represent him the best we can. And it's not about the result, it's about the effort and sincerity.
