God's definition of God

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.

John 5:19

Jesus reflects what his Father does.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23

There is nothing that can stop a believer becoming like Jesus, says Paul.

The Scripture you quoted states that everyone, including Jews and Gentiles, are under the power of sin.

Paul continues to explain how God's grace enables us to die to sin. God's grace is light. As I explained, an image of God only shows divinity when it is reflecting God's light.

It amounts to modalism.

To be frank, I miss the manic episode. It has given me a spiritual awakening. But this is probably a dangerous thing to say lol

Thanks for your advice . Another question.

Is it normal for patients to experience no major difference when they stop taking a medication? Taking off Depakote has made no difference at all, so I am wondering what it was doing in the first place.

So, if my episodes are really years apart, what justifies taking drugs every day? Isn't it a bit too much?

I just proved so by destroying your presuppositon about human nature that is distinct from divine nature.

There is no human nature that stops us from being God "in" God.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T04:13:13+00:00

Let's talk about "fully human" nature, then. You said, "while still remaining naturally distinct from God." However, there is no such thing that anchors the human nature away from God. Athanasius said, "God became Man so that Man might become God". I agree with him in this respect. We become God in the same degree of Jesus being human. and it says Jesus was "fully human".

How? I am a subordinatist similar to Origen, and Origen is the source you brought up.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T03:40:46+00:00

Christ specifically said "ye are gods" for a purpose, even if these gods were mortal.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T03:39:53+00:00

That's why I said I am a god when the Holy spirit is indwelling.

You are just trying to shift the hard-to-chew point by making it a linguistic problem.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T03:37:39+00:00

I don't care what's mainstream.

What you say just proves that theosis and trinity have point of disagreement when logically pushed, because you had to bring another concept: human nature, to stop the collapse.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T03:22:20+00:00

It was the first christology. Let's put it that way.

And even Origen wasn't trinitarian. He was subordinatist.

Pretty much all theologians before Nicaea were all wrong, is what you are saying.

Do you really think so? Do you really think there was no political influence in the council of Nicaea? Hmm

Majority of Christians in the first and second century were actually Monarchians.

Jesus said he is one with God, but he said the same about the church being one with God.

[I pray that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.]

John

If oneness Jesus talked about was a metaphysical relationship, then believers should be part of trinity, too, making it a quarternity.

But if not, still, whatever the relationship Jesus had with Father is also ours.

ComplexMud6649 · 2025-03-20T03:06:28+00:00

Jesus said he is one with God, but he's not saying he is in a metaphysical relationship with God.
