Our Moral God

[Clete]

Right. We do not have the information to understand these things/ I need not suggest, or upon you, to conclude on super rational, as being the exact meaning, as it may be beyond our comprehension of rationality. We do not know how a nexus of rational love, outside mere altruism, can be confirmed as rational. We do know love and imagine there is a love beyond what we know and that love may be rational. I think faith encompasses it all.

Let me keep probing here...

"Mere altruism" - I do not believe that altruism and love have anything to do with one another. Altruism is the left's idea of what love is supposed to be but I think they've got it all wrong. Love is not causeless nor are acts of love done without motive. Arbitrary love is a Calvinist/Augustinian/Catholic idea and I'm certain that it is a self-contradictory notion.

Point being, I'm not sure where you're coming from with this talk about altruism. Please explain.

Resting in Him,
Clete

No, it doesn't. I think you're very wise and not the least bit nerdy.

Ha!

Well I suppose its a good thing for me that the two aren't mutually exclusive!

 

[Zeke]

Why do you call yourself a Christian and insult the God you claim to worship?

You and every outward seeker have already broke the first commandment by having another God before you, I am! plus the translation of dwelt among flesh should have been in flesh Luke 17:20-21, the wisdom that passes all human understanding is beyond logic or letters 2Cor 3:6..

God did not have forceps, but he had his power of retribution and divine ethnic cleansing. That much is clear from the Bible.

"I make peace and I create evil. I the Lord do all these things."
--Isaiah

clamity, disaster - NOT evil and "ethnic cleansing" but spiritual cleansing

Isaiah 45:7 NIV - Isaiah 45:7 NKJV
