I don't think you're saying anything different. That what cannot accomplish the glory of God is a deprivation of His glory.
That is like those who call Jesus a mere wise man, or a prophet, but not God. They are diminishing His glory.
Or those who call Him a god among gods. They are diminishing...
I didn't mean to imply I'm having a bad time or that there is something about which to be sorry.
I just registered. I gave it a few days and some experiments as posts and comments and chats.
Now I want to ask what others have found. It's just part of how I learn.
Thanks for the kind words.
Thomas Aquinas said about his own work that it was as straw. He built with straw and it burned up in the testing fire.
That is enough reason not to take his work for reference.
However I respected his method and approach. If that was just a cultural byproduct of his times then that is even...
The question is about Christian forums in general. It can also be answered specifically about this site.
I've been looking and thinking about it. I yet have not confirmed a good thing that it brings.
If you have, please tell me.
Thanks for making your representation for the catholic side of things. If the plato/aristotle divide can be considered old hat, then I figure the protestant/catholic divide can also be considered old hat.
May I explain my post further? It seems I'm not going to find what I'm seeking, because it...
Aquinas wrote comprehensively and employed both platonism and artistotelianism.
Is there a protestant theologian who wrote comprehensively and employed both platonism and aristotelianism?
The specific similarity in question is that good-faith attitude towards questions (even seeming...
THE LAW IS LOVE,
GRACE IS HAVING LOVE,
KEEPING THE LAW IS LOVING,
LOVING IS GIVING,
GIVING IS LIVING,
LIVING IS GOING,
GOING IS MOVING,
MOVING IS WALKING,
To the Cross to see the Precious Blood by which I am bought, an infinite amount I can't repay.
Pursuing Jesus Christ with all my MIGHT and all my HEART and all my MIND and all my SOUL on the way from GRACE to GRACE and from PEACE to PEACE!!!
Might is an effort, an effort is an exertion, exertion is a free will, Love is a choice, Life is a Labor of Love
Who wants to know what it feels like to scrape their shredded back upon the splinters of a cross, pushing themselves up just to breathe? Or just to speak? Or to say "forgive them. They know not what they do"? Who wants to know the Lord who went there so you never do?
Who wants to praise Jesus...
What grates better than the scourging upon the adopted children of God the Heavenly Father (hallowed be His name), who alone is wise, and whose Word by the Spirit is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the...
Even a son can take his deposit from his father and walk away and squander it.
Lucky if he returns, at least, to be a slave.
At that, with nothing but his wasteful scars and meaningless losses.
After all, he gave up his dignity as a slave to the wicked.
If one must be a slave, then, better...
I misunderstood the notice during sign up which said that the forum is for Christians only now. I thought it meant there wouldn't be unbelievers here. I don't know what the announcement meant. Was it for specific forums?
