In other words, sin *is* objective? Sin being defined as a deviation by an individual from the Eternal Law.
Also, sin isn't sin "because the Bible says so." The Bible says that a particular action *is* a sin because it *already was.* The Bible is part of the Revealed Law which helps humanity, with its compromised (since Adam and Eve's fall) intellect, to discern moral evil.

Thu most sin of now is of old

Tbh*

2020-11-27 17:49:11 UTC  

Nothing has changed

2020-11-27 17:51:14 UTC  

it changes form, not nature.

2020-11-27 17:51:19 UTC  

Agreed.

No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone. But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Sorry for the random last giant picture ;; didn't mean to do that

2020-11-27 18:49:49 UTC  

I've been somewhat struggling with my connection with God.

2020-11-27 19:20:23 UTC  

Same

Deeds, not words. If all you needed to do was lip service, it'd be pretty damned easy to be a good Christian.

2020-11-27 20:46:32 UTC  

how do christians know there religion is the correct one and not just a more ideologically advanced doctrine versus the quran. What distinction can be made rationally.

2020-11-27 20:53:01 UTC  

This explains our philosophy

2020-11-27 22:06:21 UTC  

Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis would be a good read to explain as well.

2020-11-27 22:23:16 UTC  

Hey guys I'm trying to find the Book of Palmists

2020-11-27 22:23:29 UTC  

Is that a denominational thing, like the Catholic Bible?

2020-11-27 23:00:09 UTC  

It's from the Codex Democrates. It accounts the trials and tribulations of Saint Rosary (Rosy) Palms and her 5 sisters in the month of November.

2020-11-27 23:37:45 UTC  

The Christian worldview is the only worldview that provides the preconditions for intelligible experience and knowledge.

2020-11-27 23:38:34 UTC  

I watched that video and I was thinking about writing exactly why I felt it was inadequately answering my question, but decided against it.

2020-11-27 23:40:28 UTC  

to summarize... The things in which he proclaims makes his religion different , are in most part the things that make all religions different from each other.

I thought the end in which the other gentlemen discusses how the resurrections historical accuracy shouldnt be questioned interesting.

2020-11-27 23:40:31 UTC  

Need to look into it more

2020-11-27 23:46:53 UTC  

There's evidence for the Resurrection. Chrisrianity rose from a persecuted sect in Judea to the religion of Rome in a matter of three centuries. The philosophy of Christianity has influenced the World more than any other creed. I'm ending it at that.

2020-11-27 23:47:52 UTC  

Im not about throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

2020-11-27 23:48:12 UTC  

I know some religious stories have decent moral value instilled in them

2020-11-27 23:48:19 UTC  

All.

2020-11-27 23:48:22 UTC  

Jordan Peterson talks about that.

2020-11-27 23:48:42 UTC  

Jordan Peterson is an overrated crackhead who was based about gender

2020-11-27 23:48:49 UTC  

Those ideas can be separate from the religion is what I would suggest.

2020-11-27 23:48:54 UTC  

He's good in a few contexts

2020-11-27 23:49:09 UTC  

But what is the foundation of these moral values. For other religions?

2020-11-27 23:49:44 UTC  

My initial question really asks why you believe Christianity, given the nature of other religions and how closely paralleled the believers can be to eachother.

2020-11-27 23:49:45 UTC  

The univeralism of certain moral principles serves to prove a singular origin of Humanity in contrast to secular polygeny

2020-11-27 23:50:26 UTC  

And as I said, Christianity has more weighing in its favor than any other religion, and I own a 400 page book comprehensively proving that

2020-11-27 23:50:32 UTC  

the messages dont matter in that context.. because whether morally better or not the principles of any given doctrine are a matter of faith.
