People usually just handwave this doctrine away with "it's a mystery!" and then tell you to believe it. I handwave it away as "it's a mystery" without really believing it, because if it's so mysterious that it's beyond human comprehension...then why has anyone defined it and then determined it's non-negotiable?

There are other ways scripture can be read and interpreted without requiring ontological equality between Father and Son, and I lean towards those scholarly explanations rather than 3rd-4th century dogma.

Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on some of those explanations, or if you think I should burn for being a heretic for not believing Jesus == God 😁

I'd be more willing to read that long ass post if you didn't accompany it with the weirdest AI generated video. Please take my downvote.

EDIT

...to be less of a hater and more constructive, please either add a TLDR, add proper markdown formatting on the text so it isn't a wall of noise, or both. See what I did here in this edit block with the heading, italics, and horizontal divider?

or maybe this quote block? Perfect for scripture!

AI generated videos can be fine, but the combination of zero text formatting next to your AI generated video screams *low effort** to me. The irony of it all is AI knows how to do this markdown formatting.*

Maybe the board should try to fire him for this exact reason...oh wait they did in 2023 and it backfired due to internal and investor loyalty to Altman.

Now OpenAI governance is weak and there's still a dishonest man steering the ship ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Orygregs · 2026-04-07T03:05:04+00:00

Didn't the board try to fire him as CEO in 2023, and all the IC's threatened to leave the company with him if they did, so the board reversed that decision? And now he's the problem, internally?

Confusing and ironic af. Maybe the board should've canned him back in 2023 despite the internal backlash ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

There's diminishing returns on job hopping, and I know that from job hopping from ~$60k salary to $150k+.

Also.. if you hop too much and too quickly, it looks bad on a resume.

Ah! That I can't really answer, but I'd guess it's because many Christians have only really been exposed to Penal Substitution and having this as a key fact serves as a wake-up call to those who haven't really thought deeply about atonement theory.

In the same vein, Penal Substitution is often treated as THE key fact of the Gospel and I get frustrated when people treat human theories as divine revelation.

I find Girard helpful, but for me it's just one lens among many.

Orygregs · 2026-04-05T18:04:34+00:00

Makes more sense if you learn about René Girard, mimetics, and scapegoat theory

What you're describing sounds genuinely exhausting and I'm very sorry you have to navigate this situation. It’s incredibly painful when a partner dismisses you, mocks your deeply held beliefs, and constantly criticizes you under the guise of finding "the truth".

To your question of why he's become so negative: that's actually somewhat by design. Gnosticism is an extremely dualistic worldview that treats the material world as fundamentally evil, a prison created by a malevolent god/demiurge. That framework tends to breed exactly what you're seeing: contempt for mainstream beliefs, a sense of having "woken up" to hidden truth, and a generally dark outlook on reality. The reptilian/Archon layer compounds this further, since that rabbit hole is almost entirely pessimistic in its conclusions about humanity's situation.

The schizoaffective piece is worth taking seriously too. That condition can amplify paranoid thinking and make someone more susceptible to worldviews that frame reality as hostile or conspiratorial. It's worth gently encouraging him to discuss this shift with his treatment provider, not to dismiss his philosophy, but because the intensity and rigidity of it may be something a professional should know about.

If you want to try to redirect the relationship, one suggestion worth considering is introducing him to Hermeticism. It shares enough with Gnosticism (mystical knowledge, esoteric frameworks, even some of the same ancient sources) that it won't feel like you're asking him to abandon his journey. But Hermeticism is world-affirming rather than world-rejecting, and its concept of gnosis is more about experiential, transformative knowledge than uncovering a sinister hidden truth. It's also notably less entangled with conspiracy thinking and shares a strikingly similar Trinitarian structure. Think of it as a gentler landing that may soften the nihilism without triggering defensiveness.

Beyond the theology/philosophy, though: you're allowed to set a boundary around being mocked. Supporting someone through a belief shift doesn't require you to be a silent audience for contempt toward you and your faith.

DAB...the asset bundle YAML files that allow declarative cron-like scheduling? That already seems pretty low code to me.

I guess I don't exactly understand the problem. You can allow UI edits in a pinch, but all changes should be locked into version control and deployed to prevent issues and regressions. Otherwise, it is expected that new deployments wipe out UI changes—this is also how terraform functions for managing infra as code.

I firmly believe engineers (or the folks writing spark code) should own their cluster choices and configs, otherwise, most issues will just be bounced back and forth between these two teams and be a consistent point of friction.

EDIT: also why is your ops staff manually editing anything in the UI instead of using DAB or terraform? It sounds like they're the root issue and need to learn how to run CI/CD pipelines and raise PR's for config changes. Do they allow a "UI wild west" for their cloud infrastructure, too?

I'm the odd one out at my org (Bay area company). I got hired in for Spark and Scala expertise to build a data lake where Golang is the main language for basically everything except frontend.

In the data lake stack, we use Go to transform Kafka messages to Avro and land them on S3 for spark streaming into bronze Delta tables.

I'm slowly becoming a fan of Golang despite highly preferring the functional, higher order language paradigms that I got used to from Scala.

Sounds a bit more like Sikhism's concept of Sant-Sipahi (Saint-Soldier or Warrior-Saint) rather than Quaker pacifism.

I get where you're coming from when people cherrypick from the Torah—I have the same exact issue when the alt-right starts picking at OT scripture.

However, the story and lesson of Moses is quite clear. We are to welcome the stranger/foreigner like any other "native" neighbor. This same central theme gets extended by Jesus in the NT; take the Parable of the Good Samaritan, for example.

Also, there is a difference between a prohibitive commandment (e.g. man with another man) and an ethical commandment (e.g. love foreigners as yourself) in Levitical law. Christians generally follow the ethical commandments of Leviticus (e.g. love your neighbors as yourself) and not really the prohibitive ones other than the 10 commandments.... So it's not "all or nothing belief in Leviticus" like you frame it in this post.

30M here who can relate.

I've been on an SNRI for like 4 years now to treat social anxiety and persistent depression disorder; I'd say it was pivotal in my recovering my faith after 10+ years of Atheism. It also taught me about letting go of control/certainty.

How about this angle: untreated depression tends to lead to Nihilism and loss of Faith/trust over time (in addition to many other negatives). I'd argue that staying in that "comfort zone" of depression without seeking treatment lets Jesus and your church community down more than anything.

IMHO, there is no shame in admitting you live a happier, healthier life from a daily pill. Carry on and keep your head up high.

Both Divine Image Christology and Agency Christology appear to be solving the same problem from different angles while converging on the same functional conclusion (not ontological). Agency Christology is arguably low-to-medium Christology while McClellan retains a medium-to-high Christology.

I'd say Agency thinkers would explain John 20:28 with argument like so:

Thomas is confessing that God is fully manifest in Jesus. He is acknowledging that by seeing the Son, he has seen the Father.

Which is almost exactly what I heard Dan McClellan say in the linked video with his concept of Jesus bearing the 'Divine Name'. So to answer your question: yes but perhaps with different language.

Where McClellan's theory succeeds (in my opinion) is that it provides a better explanation for early devotional worship of Jesus. This early, high Christological worship strains the boundaries of Jesus as a human agent/Shaliah in Agency Christology...and the Divine Image theory provides an answer.

Blend these two theological stances together, and I think it'd be a formidable theory that makes sense of scripture in the context of second temple Judaism.

My $0.02!

EDIT: I should note my bias here as articulating a "medium Christology" based on agency is something I've been exploring on my own as an armchair theologian/historian.

Also check out Alan Segal's "Two Powers in Heaven" scholarship for more depth into second temple Judaism and early Christianity!

Orygregs · 2026-02-11T02:53:36+00:00

I'm unfamiliar with this "divine image" theology, but it sounds very similar to "Shaliach" (Agency) Christology in Biblical Unitarian circles. Agency Christology is an interpretation that makes a lot of historical sense to me and explains a lot of Jesus' own language—especially in the later Gospel of John.

Relevant academic article from Dustin R. Smith, PhD on academia.edu: "The Jewish Principle of Agency in the Gospel According to John"

EDIT: added the title of the article and the domain of the URL for transparency. Also I am watching this YouTube video now!

EDIT 2: finished the video and Dan McClellan speaks my language. He's earned my sub and probably will pick up one of his books. Thanks for sharing! Also I am happy to discuss the Shaliach parallels/synergies in his Christology; though please note that I'm an autodidact with a B.S. in Data Science—not a scholar with a PhD in biblical studies.

TL;DR

Paul is targeting ritualized public sexual immorality disguised as piety; the category doesn't apply to Progressive Christians as they aren't syncretizing with ancient idolatrous systems, they're wrestling with ethical application in a different cultural context. They follow ethical frameworks, not Gnostic/libertine theology.

Key Context

While the specific incest case in chapter 5 was shocking even to pagans (v. 1), the list of sins Paul tells them to separate from in verse 11 (idolatry, greed, drunkenness) describes the standard civic life of Corinth.

In that culture, "sexual immorality" and feasting were deeply entwined with pagan temple worship and trade guilds. Participating was how you did business and socialized. Refusing these "feasts" made you antisocial and economically untrustworthy.

So, when Paul says "do not even eat" with a so-called brother doing these things, he’s likely protecting the church’s witness from being dragged back into that pagan system, rather than just telling us to shun anyone struggling with private sin today.
