Argument from motion is a good one

2020-03-15 01:25:37 UTC  

elabirate

2020-03-15 01:25:43 UTC

2020-03-15 01:26:18 UTC  

This is the argument

2020-03-15 01:26:32 UTC  

It's establishes *purus actus*

2020-03-15 01:26:55 UTC  

this sounds like the some hermetic stuff, can you confirm @ComradeChaos

2020-03-15 01:28:17 UTC  

@Eoppa this isnt necessarily an argument for christianity specifically, the 7 hermetic axioms are extremely similar

2020-03-15 01:29:57 UTC  

The full argument is 50 steps, but this necessitates a monotheistic, non deistic, perfect, incorporeal, eternal, intellectual, omnipotent/omniscient entity.

2020-03-15 01:30:02 UTC  

Which excludes polytheistic beliefs

2020-03-15 01:30:07 UTC  

not at all

2020-03-15 01:30:08 UTC  

Such as most pagans

2020-03-15 01:30:19 UTC  

in paganism there is one ultimate being

2020-03-15 01:30:25 UTC  

in vedic faith that is brahman

2020-03-15 01:30:31 UTC  

not sure what its called in others

2020-03-15 01:31:24 UTC  

the other gods are manifestations of different things in nature which do indeed exist in a sense

2020-03-15 01:31:35 UTC  

but nonetheless there is one that is ultimate and above all

2020-03-15 01:32:44 UTC  
2020-03-15 01:34:51 UTC  

So you wouldn't introduce any composition into the Brahman?

2020-03-15 01:35:41 UTC  

wdym

2020-03-15 01:36:10 UTC  

Is it composed

2020-03-15 01:36:34 UTC  

in what sense

2020-03-15 01:36:49 UTC  

Divine simplicity

2020-03-15 01:37:45 UTC  

still dont understand what youre trying to ask, im sorry i havent had amuch sleep nor food

2020-03-15 01:38:55 UTC  

I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt that it's synonymous with the Classical Theist conception of God.

2020-03-15 01:39:16 UTC  

Let's take the Zeitoun apparition, how would a pagan respond to something like it.

2020-03-15 01:39:25 UTC  

wtf is that

2020-03-15 01:40:21 UTC  

It was a series of apparitions of our blessed mother in Egypt in the 60s-70s. They were witnessed by millions, confirmed by the government, and local police, photographed, etc.

2020-03-15 01:41:00 UTC  

These are some of the colorized pictures

2020-03-15 01:41:37 UTC  

Others include doves of light, images of unformed light, and other images of Mary

2020-03-15 01:42:04 UTC  

idk, Jesus and Mary are indeed holy. Jesus was a son of god but not the only one

2020-03-15 01:42:18 UTC  

Jesus is an avatar of light afterall

2020-03-15 01:43:08 UTC  

Except what Jesus professed is contradictory to what you profess. And the Church that Mary appears at is contradictory in dogma to you.

2020-03-15 01:43:52 UTC  

The only son of God doesn't mean not the only son

2020-03-15 01:44:20 UTC  

Ping me when you bring up our lady of Guadalupe) @Eoppa

2020-03-15 01:44:42 UTC  

what which Jesus professed is contradictory to what i said @Eoppa

2020-03-15 01:45:26 UTC  

```John 3:16
[16]For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.```

2020-03-15 01:46:06 UTC  

Compare this to ```idk, Jesus and Mary are indeed holy. Jesus was a son of god but not the only one```

2020-03-15 01:47:51 UTC  

Do you understand?

2020-03-15 01:50:03 UTC  

still not contradictory to what i said, begotten simply means to procreate. Either way, how does one know Jesus truly said he was the only one, and not the only one he was aware of? The words of Jesus have been so degraded after 2 millennia of translations
