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?
in what
I dont have much to be proud of in my life
that you can rely on yourself better than the being you would worship
He does through His Church
the Church has the authority to bind or loose sins
but original sin is constant
until after the Resurrection you will be stained by it
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
@agag The 3 threads of nature are: sattvic, rajasic, tamasic. The state of purity/goodness, passion, ignorance/evil.
no, no man can live a sinful life
im not saying im better than anyone, i'm just saying the thought of worshipping something, anything at all, seems like a scary thought to me
To understand natural law is to understand how these interplay.
we are all corrupt
reverence of an unchanging ideal is the core of faith
I have aspergers, and part of that comes with an intense feeling of not wanting to feel like im being controlled
so
worship seems scary to me
really? Do you think that after you become faithful you'll never look on a woman with lust? Or commit any other sort of sin?
i dont get aspergers
@agag Your OT Yahweh is characterized by passion and at times viciousness. But Jesus Christ never acts out of passion. Only once really in the temple where he whips money changers, but that was entirely just.
you can't live a sinful life in this world
no man is capable of it
my brother in law supposedly has it but all the symptoms seem to stem from a lack of understanding of certain things
like what?
@agag what do you believe morality is specifically? the act of being moral, what does it ential?
Jesus says the opposite
resisting control first off
entail*
if you care for yourself do you not see the benefit of being under control of a superior being
@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] what God judges to be moral is moral
