@agag ah yes, you're getting there

2018-10-04 04:48:16 UTC  

but they can't give you exactly what it means

2018-10-04 04:48:16 UTC  

what does God wish?

2018-10-04 04:48:21 UTC  

what are the traits of the divine?

2018-10-04 04:48:26 UTC  

oof

2018-10-04 04:48:30 UTC  

to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself is the heart of it

2018-10-04 04:48:42 UTC  

Yes, but what does it mean to "love God"?

2018-10-04 04:48:46 UTC  

Metaphysically.

2018-10-04 04:48:52 UTC  

why attempt to comprehend something you'll never be able to understand then?

2018-10-04 04:49:04 UTC  

follow his teachings and praise him for his blessings

2018-10-04 04:49:18 UTC  

dude do you not try to improve anything in your life?

2018-10-04 04:49:20 UTC  

God is omnibenevolent, when you love God, you love perfect goodness.

2018-10-04 04:49:24 UTC  

You imbue it into yourself.

2018-10-04 04:49:27 UTC  

And it purifies you.

2018-10-04 04:49:30 UTC  

This is Bhakti

2018-10-04 04:49:33 UTC  

devotional worship

2018-10-04 04:49:37 UTC  

saying that because you dont know what perfect is that you shouldnt try is stupid

2018-10-04 04:49:51 UTC  

^

2018-10-04 04:49:51 UTC  

no human knows what the perfect life is but most of us try to improve daily

2018-10-04 04:50:06 UTC  

it's clearly not squalor

2018-10-04 04:50:06 UTC  

you're incapable of purifying yourself in this life

2018-10-04 04:50:09 UTC  

but nor is it wealth

2018-10-04 04:50:09 UTC  

the idea of worshipping anything makes me feel uneasy

2018-10-04 04:50:17 UTC  

that's pride

2018-10-04 04:50:19 UTC  

*feel

2018-10-04 04:50:19 UTC  

only through God's grace are we even capable of freely choosing to follow Him

2018-10-04 04:50:24 UTC  

unless you're a stink calvinist

2018-10-04 04:50:27 UTC  

This is why I believe Christ was divine. He teaches you this, even within the malevolent auspices of the jewish theology predating his.

2018-10-04 04:50:29 UTC  

in which case you can't freely choose at all

2018-10-04 04:50:29 UTC  

probably due to how your life has been so far

2018-10-04 04:50:38 UTC  

pride?

2018-10-04 04:50:39 UTC  

in what

2018-10-04 04:50:44 UTC  

I dont have much to be proud of in my life

2018-10-04 04:51:00 UTC  

that you can rely on yourself better than the being you would worship

2018-10-04 04:51:12 UTC  

He does through His Church

2018-10-04 04:51:18 UTC  

the Church has the authority to bind or loose sins

2018-10-04 04:51:22 UTC  

but original sin is constant

2018-10-04 04:51:34 UTC  

until after the Resurrection you will be stained by it

2018-10-04 04:51:39 UTC  

what's the point of a test if the teacher passes you in the middle of it and gives you the reward before it's over

2018-10-04 04:51:41 UTC  

@agag The 3 threads of nature are: sattvic, rajasic, tamasic. The state of purity/goodness, passion, ignorance/evil.

2018-10-04 04:51:41 UTC  

no, no man can live a sinful life
