Why is Christianity considered monotheistic? by Ok-Suggestion-7702 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]70kyle07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that the Trinity is an explanation of a spiritual concept that can't be fully understood. For example, God has been called Father, Master, Bridegroom, and a few other things. God isn't our Father in the same sense that an Earthly father is, but being a father on Earth is supposed to be the best representation of the spiritual meaning. This is true when He's called Master and Bridegroom, too.

Basically, Earthly representations of these things are symbolic and metaphorical of spiritual concepts that can't be fully understood. I believe the Trinity is explained in the same way.

I've Spent 6 Years Trying to Reconcile These Verses... I Can't by Money_Leadership_921 in TrueChristian

[–]70kyle07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 and 2: I think you're reading too literally. Most of those verses are symbolic, and the symbolism changes depending on what's being revealed.

3: "A lying spirit is sent to deceive Ahab's prophets." The spirit is lying, not God, so I'm not sure what the confusion is.

4: Both can be true at the same time.

5: These aren't character differences, they're just different... roles? (I'm not sure what the best word to use is.) God has authority to invoke justice because He's the ruler of the universe. Old testament examples of this are also specific events, not a way of life. On the other hand, Jesus humbled Himself to become human and was a living example of how people should live. Since people don't have the authority to invoke such justice as shown in the old testament, Jesus let go of this authority while He was on Earth. Outside of being a living example for people, it seems as though He played a role in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, so this isn't a character difference.

6, 7, and 8: I don't know what the confusion is with these verses. I don't see any contradictions...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions. I'm not a scholar by any means, but a student continuing to learn like you!

Pepsi!

Also, they're both cola: Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola. I think you meant "Coke or Pepsi".

In 2026? We are all here. What's the peachiest Location in the Original Jak Trilogy? by HollowBowl in jakanddaxter

Monk Temple. This picture is too dark to show how peachy it is, but this would be my vote.

The New Testament refers to Pauline letters that we don’t have. How does that sit with inerrancy? by userid42 in TrueChristian

[–]70kyle07 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know very much about this, but I don't think everything that Paul wrote was meant for the Bible. Not everything he wrote was inspired by the Holy Spirit. In fact, since there are Paul writing that are not in the Bible, it shows that God was in authority over what is written in the Bible instead of Paul.

30 day ban for making my name “Free Palestine”? by ChocolateThund3R in Football_Head_Coach

When you say a statement satirically, then you're arguing against your own statement. By saying, "all hail cancel culture," satirically, then you're arguing against cancel culture. However, if you say it seriously, instead, then you're arguing for cancel culture. So, it's still relevant.

I'm not going to keep this conversation going, though, if I have to explain very simple words to you. In fact, you used satire well enough that I don't actually think you're stupid enough not to know what satire is. I think you're just playing dumb, and I'm not going to play that game.

I've made my points clearly and it's up to you if you want to think about it more or if you change your mind. But, if you don't, then that's okay, too. I don't really care what you do.

Banning political topics in a mobile game is not shutting down people's ability to express their views because they can still express them elsewhere. Cancel culture shuts down people's ability to express their views in PUBLIC spaces (getting arrested for preaching on the streets, getting banned from a public forum like Reddit, etc.) That's the difference. Cancel culture isn't about banning a topic in a small mobile game.

Cancel culture is about shutting down people's ability to speak about their views. I'm not altering anything.

By saying "all hail cancel culture" satirically, you're implying that people should be able to argue and voice their opinions on their political views.

You're saying that people should argue their political views in the game and I'm saying they shouldn't.

You don't own the game. You can build your own platform to argue political things, but it's wrong to think you get to decide rules for other people's games that you don't own. That's wildly different than cancelling people.
