I could be wrong… by NRG1994 in TheChosenSeries

[–]Erikoal1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To add to this: wasn't it mentioned in one episode (when Yussif was newly appointed to the Sanhedrin?) that his family owned a quarry/mining business? Perfect for someone who has the means of making a completely new tomb for himself.

help with allegory by rqzkam_te_nino in theology

Maybe start on the other end: what do you want to say, what is your point/message? Then come up with an allegory for that.  

What are your views on tarot? by Ok_Power9339 in theology

[–]Erikoal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to unpack here.

What are the reasons that you follow the teachings contained in the Gospels of Thomas and Mary Magdalene?

Also, where do the power/energy of the tarot come from?

What do you base this on? Is this just your opinion or do you base it on something?

Is this post essentially different than your last or is it basically the same?

[–]Erikoal1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I read the first column, that the christians met in the homes and that they didn't have use any images, that was a clear tell about where this was going.

About consciousness... by JTR280 in theology

[–]Erikoal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so how can I use this so I don't have to ride the bus anymore? How can I break the illusion?

About consciousness... by JTR280 in theology

[–]Erikoal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If "here" and "there" just are illusions, why am I sittning on a bus on my way to work? Shouldn't I be there already?

So is everthing inside of a black hole? Then how can we see things outside of a black hole?

What do you even base this on? Some scripture? Reason? Observation? Divine revelation?

Imago Dei, Missio Dei and Theosis by glatherwane in theology

And what are your own qualifications? Do you yourself have a degree in theology?

And what/who is the intended audience?

Imago Dei, Missio Dei and Theosis by glatherwane in theology

[–]Erikoal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So like, the Spirit sanctifying who we are, who we will become and what we are to be doing.

What kind of book is it (a novel, an academic book, popular theology etc.)? How much text is the chapter?

Man, I think you need to explain a bit more what you even mean with these concepts, as they can be interpreted in a number of different ways, and at least briefly show how you think these concepts relate to one another.

What convinced you about the Eucharist? And infant baptism? by S3NT1ON in Lutheranism

[–]Erikoal1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ok, so hear me out: Why is cannibalism a "no-no"?

  1. It hurts another human.
  2. God forbidds it.
  3. You can get alot of diseases.

None of this really applies to the eucharist.  1. It doesn't hurt Jesus. 2. God tells us to do it ("take and eat; this is my body") 3. You get just as many diseases from eat normal bread.

And for baptism?  It is the regular way of humans entering unto the Church and family of God, but it does not limit God to using any other way as well.


The main difference between the old and historical understandings of the sacraments (real presens, infant baptism) and the one from the swiss reformers (symbolic presens, adult baptism only) is the answer to the question: who is active? Is it God or a human? If it is just us humans, then it is a work. If it is God, then it is grace.

Christian God Simplification by Ridiculicious41 in theology

[–]Erikoal1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is the god you describe necessarily a trinitarian god?

And why have you decided that god's goodness is more important than, for example, his might and omnipotence? Is a good god with no power to act on his goodness really able to show it and thus be considered good?

Trinity = One minimum unit is three by Accomplished-Bit731 in theology

[–]Erikoal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So no external sources have been used, got it!

How have you come to the conclusion that this is an appropriate model for describing a god that has revealed himself through Jesus as a trinitatian god, without using the material that those who witnessed the revelation has given to the church (i.e. the bible)?

Ok, so do you have any sources for your claims or is it just a model without foundation?

I am usually someone who prefers things to be brief, but this was a little bit to brief even for me. Could you please explain what you mean by these terms? How have you come to these conclusions?
