The purpose of the below paragraph is to prove Christianity.

We start with the true blank of discourse, where before entering into small talk, rational discourse, mathematic proves, violence, painting, and other forms of communication and I ask you which of these is rational to choose? Should I cite papers or kill you? Should I show you St. Peter's Basilica or donate to the poor? The Buddhist answers that all and none are equally rational whereas the Gospel answers how they pertain to one another. In this central node of blankness, before going into anything resembling logic, violence, emotions, or anything of that sort where these metaphysical domains do not talk to one another, this center node, i.e. the space between algebra and geometry, is only filled via Jesus Christ's Gospel and is the blank left from the Fall. He does this by showing that the logic of this central place, I call the soulscape, is totally structured with unlimited compassion and charity and that all other metaphysical domains genuflect to that. Out of the abundance of the heart speaketh the mouth.

Let's say I want to convince you to buy a pen from me. I can A) put a gun to your head and force you to, B) sell you with appealing to your emotions, and but not limited to C) argue with you rationally for it. Which of this is rationally correct when we have already established that rationality is a subset of these options? When you are thinking in terms of value system trade-offs you need the Gospel.

Human metaphysical categories rely on self-referential non-contradictions that do not logically relate. Said otherwise, algebra can never become geometry and geometry cannot become algebra because of our fallen state but they are both valid in the same sense that logic and emotions are separate because of our fall but in the perfect, and Christ-redeemed sense, are one.

If you are insisting that it is a "fact" these require belief in Christianity, and that these same tools then prove Christianity, you are literally babbling.

>"metaphysical tools"
Basically forms in which you can communicate in different domains. For example, communicating the sky is red in poetry versus the sky's actual wavelength versus the sky's HEX code are all different domains of correct but what is different about them in the sense of satisfying metaphors, correct physics assumptions, and correct computational methods are totally disharmonious from one another despite the realness of red.
>>21313810
Okay
>>21313828
The moment of inflection between these metaphysical tools is only navigated via how Christ speaks. Examples of the below:
>27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
>“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”
+
>whoever is not against us is for us.
As well as:
>But he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
+
>27And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
The idea of holding these two statements simultaneously and seeing the true truth at the middle of them is the core meaning of "But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." This is also why the eucharist is core whereby:
>Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Is finally most perfectly shown against the parable of the wedding feast (being dressed properly) and the eucharist, that is that Christ tells us to be indifferent to what we eat yet the core truth of the religion is the eucharist. It is in this middle ground that all truth resides and thus why the Church is all things to all.

The Mosaic religion you follow a cadet branch of nominally bans images. So it isn't the cause for them being made or being made of any quality. All of "their art" you are referring to was European art with Christianity as a particular subject. And it was made in spite of the religious scriptures calling representational art a sin, because the tradition of such European art goes back to ancient Greece. And those Greeks went to India and made Buddhist art there and historians consider those statues the first surviving examples of realistic human sculpture in Asia. It's entirely the same with Christianity, which would hardly have the same artistic output associated with it had it not been introduced to image-making Europeans.

Gothic architecture is just called gothic to distinguish it from the earlier Roman architecture. It's not particularly related to what the Goths were building in their bogs and forests prior to moving into Roman land. You could just as well call it "late medieval" architecture. And by the time said architecture is being built the Goths don't exist as a western European ethnic group.

You can preach this to the Jews and it's valid and fine, but to most other cultures this is overly basic in the first place and introduces them, through the problem of "saving them from things they're not suffering from", to Jewish theology which then causes them to suffer.

Moreover, if a Jew is already suffering because of Jewish Theology as a rational adult when he or she can see the reason behind Jesus and Paul, then the damage has long been done to them personally already. Are they supposed to become Christians for a day and then, when cured, Atheists afterwards?

No. Christ fulfills the law and also invalidates it in a sense. It is required that the Israelites were a valid milennia old tribe because they create the worldly equivalent of heaven, where truth was hidden yet persistent bc in the same way spiritual truth works after Christ. Additionally, the Jobic model of testingGod's righteousness because totally fulfilled in Christ giving voice to pure moral goodness and compassion and also giving the true food of the eucharist as Kosher and making all animals fine to eat. Christ takes the law and its sins and cleanses them in forgiveness and the Jewish ethos is the idea of a genetic race and religion being one whereas after Christ the image and word become one in Christ. In the same way what is hidden is revealed with Christ so too Judaism becomes Catholicism.

It evidently did make sense to Paul and Jesus; I mean in many ways it's a rebuke of the Theocracy and the character and evil villainy of the Hebrews in the OT/Torah, as to say "if you thought this was God, you're stupid," etc.

Still I think the absurdism of gentiles adopting judaism to save themselves from the crses upon the jews by the god of te jews (i mean errors a non-jew isn't guitly of) is manifested in those "oddities", the evangelicals today are a good example where they actually go back and take lessons from the foul behavior of people like Lot, they end up, as consequence, emulating the worst aspects of Jewish Ethnos (both ethos and ethnos; racial habits and culture) as they believe themselves following a savior to save them from errors that only a Jew has in his head in the first place.

i.e.
you didn't need saving until you believed and did XYZ, now you do need saving, because you're doing racial supremacism in the name of God and doing the scapegoat ritual and believing yourself completely evil from original sin, etc.

> the NT is inseparable from the OT, the interconnectedness is massive at every level (thematic, typological, etc).
It is but it's "undone" and so "not to be taken seriously" as Jesus and Paul demonstrated. I mean that it's a paradox; you introduce the gentile to all of the bad things by introducing them to Christianity, whereas to a Jew; who already believe in all the bad things, the same act of introducing them to Christianity is to save them from those bad things - errors and false beliefs. But to anybody other than a Jew it's superfluous, or counter-to-aim anyway, 'if' the OT is treated as if it's full of prophets and good things.

Marcion, the compiler of the bible, was considered to be the first heretic (by the Imperial Church, Constantinople) for taking Pauls words on things above that of Jesus word on the same things, where the contradictions stood out.

Yes. This goes deeper that the very concept of proving requires faith itself and the only religion that demonstrates this non-space of all thought as based in faith for faith is Christ. You can argue this space has a rational category but you have the ability to fathom this category of non-thought as both rational and irrational and as such is totally free and totally unknown thus is pure faith itself.

If I wanted a religion that said all phenomena were ultimately indescribable and that the absolute truth is non-discursive, it would be Mahayana Buddhism. Christianity does not do this or make sort of claim about the world. You are taking a mallet to the idea of knowledge through empirical sources, likely in response to modern and postmodern criticism of western religion—criticism which sometimes sounds similar to Buddhism insofar as it refloats Heraclitus—to hide the fact that all of Christianity's dogmatic claims require you to affirm a bunch of unbelievable stuff, so by saying we can't believe in anything based on evidence and that faith is the basis of everything you are then able to, in your mind at least, level the playing field between proving that you have two thumbs and proving that an undead rabbi can make you eternal. But if there's no such thing as evidence why should we believe anything at all? Especially anything coming from someone who insists he can describe things despite there being no knowledge of them possible. If your premise is correct, your conclusion would mean you are a moron.

Both of these are true good job. You mistake my purpose in saying that your standard is untrue I am saying your standard is not possible to be a standard for itself which is only resolved in Christ saying that His testimony is true because He speaks not of Himself but if He were then it would be true. He is the only one to actually speak about the truthful dimensions the depths of the mind.

Your writing has the air of someone who can recognize depth but has not yet fully integrated the truths of esotericism and exotericism. Comes off as a bit arrogant too. To put it simply, you have not read enough and you have not lived enough.

God is infinitely merciful, yet also infinitely just. God would not send you to Hell anon, He died on a cross just to prevent it.

Also seems like you. Had you read and lived enough, rather than taking a feeble sage-on-a-mountaintop condescending attitude you could have offered the rebuttal to his argument, or sent his argument in the direction of the point at which it falls apart. Your post is hollow, and fortune is a vain concept.

Also, there is no such things as Christian sorcery or Tarot reading. Abandon those sins and turn to God.

Christian mysticism is not sorcery and neither is the tarot as a means to study the Mystery. There's nothing to refute, its a mishmashed word salad that has the appearance of theological rigor but not the depth. The arrogance I was referring to was not in regards his tone or his perception of other people, rather the presumption that one could offer a proof for the Master. The need to humble yourself before God can be understood through the (lowercase) mystery of the fifth arcana, the hierophant, more traditionally known as the pope. The gist of it being that we must wound our hands and feet, figuratively, with the nails like the Master, so that we may not let the gift of near infinite possibility blind us to our station in life, to assume a role as initiator, as there is only one initiator. As anything is possible through Him, so is it possible to abuse his gifts for the mistreatment of others. The wounds of the hands and feet are there with the aim to inhibit prideful, selfish, or sinful action, action for one's own personal gain. Once we have these wounds in place (how these wounds come about is through prayer, meditation, study, life in servitude of the Master, etc...) we must place upon our heads the crown of thorns, so to keep the mind's natural inclinations of pride in check. To paraphrase the anonymous author of the text further: esotericism, the church of John, does not supplant exotericism, the church of Peter, but rather supplements it as the complimentary half. I apologize if I came off as arrogant. I was half asleep when I wrote it and I certainly could have phrased things more clearly.

(op now) I fully welcome the criticism of supplanting the role as initiator and that is duly noted. I think Catholics have a mandate now, through the priesthood of all the sanctity of the freedom of religion, to not not only seek inward perfection in quiet prayer and contemplation and focus on God but also in an outward way that is both at once vigorous and open. We cannot, in good conscience, permit freedom of religion while also encouraging silence as before in law now in speech and acts and as such the role of proof here offered is intended as a negative of proofs to demonstrate that only Christ's speech method match the actual nature of the image of God in our soul.

Why are """conservative""" evangelicals so cucked on the question of women? I saw a video of this conservative evangelical pastor and someone asked him if female pastors are acceptable, and he said "Well I think women are capable of pretty much anything men can do, I've been taught by many women, and I think it's an area where people can agree to disagree."
Are you serious?
How can a Christian give any answer besides a strong NO to that question?
Paul literally says in the Bible that women are to be quiet in church and that they are not to have authority over men!
Aren't these "conservative evangelicals" supposed to be strong Bible believers?
Are they controlled opposition?

Very nice.

I was of the belief that all behavior was driven by fear. That everything was fear based. That the intensity of one's capacity for love is derived from the intensity of one's fear. I was very wrong. This is simply what it seems like when you operate completely from the ego. When I found out about the existence of souls, which I did not believe in, I realized that love is very real as well, and that it too can drive behavior in an even more significant way than fear and the ego.
