Because Greek is built in a way that words are kinda formed from thoughts in a sense. The "idea" of "zaō" is somettbing of life and the soul and origin (hence, flowing, IE coming from an origin, which is the soul/spirit of Jesus here, in context).

So to equate "energeia" with "existentia" isn't entirely accurate because "existentia" is a far narrower term than "energeia." Though, one could, perhaps, attempt to show how "existentia" is related to "energeia," but I imagine this would be quite a challenge.

Why are evangelical Protestant so willingly ignorant?

Please explain

@GodFearingEnglishman

Their faith seems based entirely on emotion as opposed to reason. When they argue with Catholics, their best arguments are idolatry, paedophile priests, or works-based salvation. They seem to know absolutely nothing about other denominations.

Because evanjelly churches are a psyop for the CIA

And appeal to the emotional woman more so than the man

Depends on the prot ymmv

Most of the time I think you're forced to only use the bible because anything outside it is dismissed.

only use the bible*
*and the tradition established by the person interpreting the bible correctly

which is obviously new prot reformers

Depends. I've been out of the apologetics game due to the fact I get too inflamed

I'll do a better job by praying and letting smarter people do that work.

Stop fighting

Reeeeeee

Lulz

Idk how this guy is even considered Christian. These are just overpriced TED talks

Because God is love brother. God love everybody. Tap into the spirit.

Like a keg?

Yeah buddy. Get drunk in the spirit.

Lol

I'm actually about to bottle my first batch of wine

Nice. I made some Pinot noir about ten years ago. It wasn’t bad.

It's a white Moscato. I'm gonna call it Stella Maria after our Lady. Particularly because of the vision of her giving refreshment to the souls in purgatory.

That’s cool. Have you kept in in stainless or glass to ferment?

How much did you do?

@GodFearingEnglishman Yeah, they generally are emotionally driven

I was Evanjelly for ~20 years

I always hated the emotional stufd

So whence I got the opportunity to look into doctrines and arguments, I realized everything I believed was wrong

@Quarantine_Zone metoo

Contemporary worship was always just trying to trigger emotions to make you "feel" God

I think this is a result of sacramentarianism

Because they need a way to experience God

@Ox - OR. 5 gallons. Granted it was a wine kit but I'm in Ohio grapes aren't a major thing

They allow Baptist theology to come to its natural resting place and conclusion essentially

I hope it turns out good.

Same or its 5 gallons of suck

Hence why I'm dedicating the batch to Mary. I don't have a ton of things to offer up that I'm proud of

Bless me, for I have sinned.
