Anyone wanna have a discussion about theology with me?

2018-06-13 01:02:15 UTC  

God and the like

2018-06-13 01:28:58 UTC  

@jobby 123 hahahahaha! Wut?

2018-06-13 01:34:11 UTC  

@Rob Travis (Mason) what kind of gods you into?

2018-06-13 01:35:00 UTC  

i wanted to look at the philosophical implications of god as a concept

2018-06-13 01:35:15 UTC  

you're thinking mythology

2018-06-13 01:35:36 UTC  

im looking for something i little more profound

2018-06-13 01:35:44 UTC  

wanna discuss?

2018-06-13 01:41:40 UTC  

Im not really into theology. Some other guys here are.

2018-06-13 02:19:37 UTC  

@Rob Travis (Mason) you were created 5 days ago making all claims wothless change my mind.

2018-06-13 02:59:18 UTC  

@Rob Travis (Mason) You talking about the allegories in religion and how seeing them as literal things is bad?

2018-06-13 03:00:53 UTC  

@CasualDevil i was thinking of more along the lines of the notion of free will and creation

2018-06-13 03:01:34 UTC  

>implying the literal interpretation is bad
nah man, the literal and metaphorical interpretations together at the same time is 💯

2018-06-13 03:02:26 UTC  

^

2018-06-13 03:02:45 UTC  

depends on the context tho

2018-06-13 03:03:12 UTC  

>implying the initial context of the story isn't the only one that should ever be considered

2018-06-13 03:03:20 UTC  

@Lotus Calme Perhaps when it is both since they convey the reality of sacrifice, but as you see in many religions of the past with indoctrination systems, people do bad things from the literal context

2018-06-13 03:03:39 UTC  

"bad things"

2018-06-13 03:04:30 UTC  

hey my god is the truth from my holy text, your god is bad and must be killed off

2018-06-13 03:04:43 UTC  

I agree, My God is Truth

2018-06-13 03:04:52 UTC  

and your god is a demon

2018-06-13 03:04:58 UTC  

you must turn from your ways or be subjugated

2018-06-13 03:05:12 UTC  

the way we can determine on what holy script is right is by three factors

2018-06-13 03:05:53 UTC  

is it the old testament?
is it the new testament?
is it Christ-centered?
😉

2018-06-13 03:06:13 UTC  

im getting to that

2018-06-13 03:06:17 UTC  

@Lotus Calme
See the issue from that thinking is it stems from a church system much like your opponent

2018-06-13 03:06:22 UTC  

lemme finish

2018-06-13 03:06:27 UTC  

hang on you two

2018-06-13 03:07:33 UTC  

the three factors have to do with the four questions in a theological setting

2018-06-13 03:09:59 UTC  

What are the three ideas lol?

2018-06-13 03:11:49 UTC  

Hang on computer crashed, now on my phone

2018-06-13 03:11:53 UTC  

kkk

2018-06-13 03:12:47 UTC  

The three ideas are correspondence, coherence, and provable falsifiability

2018-06-13 03:13:26 UTC  

And each of those are tests to the theology of a religion

2018-06-13 03:14:08 UTC  

And a religion’s ideology is based on four questions mankind asks itself

2018-06-13 03:14:13 UTC  

Morals

2018-06-13 03:14:18 UTC  

Destiny

2018-06-13 03:15:30 UTC  

Meaning

2018-06-13 03:15:37 UTC  

And origin

2018-06-13 03:17:48 UTC  

Each answer to the four fundamental questions must be coherent, must corespond with reality, and must be provably true
