duties
why?
the perfect life for a person
subordination to God's judgment and morality
some people claim god speaks to them so
because we're human
and have finite minds
so what
they can do their best
THANOS TRS
@agag ah yes, you're getting there
but they can't give you exactly what it means
what does God wish?
what are the traits of the divine?
oof
to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself is the heart of it
Yes, but what does it mean to "love God"?
Metaphysically.
why attempt to comprehend something you'll never be able to understand then?
follow his teachings and praise him for his blessings
God is omnibenevolent, when you love God, you love perfect goodness.
You imbue it into yourself.
And it purifies you.
This is Bhakti
devotional worship
saying that because you dont know what perfect is that you shouldnt try is stupid
^
no human knows what the perfect life is but most of us try to improve daily
it's clearly not squalor
you're incapable of purifying yourself in this life
but nor is it wealth
the idea of worshipping anything makes me feel uneasy
that's pride
*feel
only through God's grace are we even capable of freely choosing to follow Him
unless you're a stink calvinist
This is why I believe Christ was divine. He teaches you this, even within the malevolent auspices of the jewish theology predating his.
in which case you can't freely choose at all
probably due to how your life has been so far
pride?
