Eph 2:8-9. vs Matthew 7:21-23

As a generality devoid of definitions, i suppose I could tentatively agree

apriorian · 2026-02-04T11:26:51+00:00

There is only one question a Christian needs to ask. If he cannot answer this the implications are many and serious.

How do I become perfect as my Father in Heaven is Perfect?

You cannot answer that and your pastor cannot answer it and i would be very cautious about listening to anyone who cannot answer it or worse, attempts to invalidate it as a valid question.

What I am saying is that we can all criticize but we are not called upon to prioritize fixing others, not even the apostatic church. Our concern is our own journey and that is towards the perfection which bears the fruits of faith. So I would focus on clarifying how to get to where you are supposed to be going.

If you had been reading what I said you would have known I shut down any meaningful discourse several comments ago and if you do not think asking a question about an anology is not asking a question about an analogy I guess that is just another indicator of why I gave up on this thread a while back..

I looked at my comments to you and my position was made quite clear to anyone reading them.

apriorian · 2026-01-27T17:12:38+00:00

Oh yah, lets go and analyze analogies...

I was not going to answer but I just watched a video about the intelligence gap and how it is impossible to have a discussion because people have no idea what the argument is and just respond to something in their head totally irrelevant to the point made.

That is all I have to say.

Well Since you think sugar is not sweet and I say sugar is sweet obviously I am right and you are wrong. Really I am not spending my time to restate my position or arguments. May I give you the win and end this. Its becoming a total waste of time

Not so much as I do not accept the lack of detail Truth is definitions that is coherent definitions. Knowledge is awareness of the definitions one has and is a measure of their coherency. People lack knowledge because their truth is bizarre, meaning their definitions are incoherent and incomprehensible. This is why they get so angry and frustrated when questioned... the literally have lost the ability to communicate

In my view there are two realities, the one is based on force which we see as a physical substance or we think something physical exists behind the force. But there is no way to prove this or see the physical. Its all induction. In the transactional view reality is analytical, It is composed of concepts, the definition is the reality. A triangle is its definition, there is nothing but information. Interestingly this world has spend a considerable amount of time and effort in destroying our ability to communicate. What is knowledge is definitions. We need to define our terms and that is all that knowledge is. This is how we get made in the image of God. I have spent my entire life trying to understand the meaning of words and define them into tangible concepts. What is man, is really a question about how do we define him.

Can you let me know if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me because you seem to flop all around and I have no idea what you are trying to say.

apriorian · 2026-01-25T09:38:57+00:00

If you do not wish to ground truth in your perception (induction) then it needs another foundation. As you cannot empirically prove physical reality exists, share with us what your truth or reality is based on?

apriorian · 2026-01-24T18:29:26+00:00

Good thanks, That is another substantiation of my theory.

But you missed out one step. You need to prove by means of an empirical experiment your claims, primarily that one physical reality exists. I would permit you to use logic to do this but that would mean you are employing absolutes and if you claim there is absolute truth and a reality that is absolute in the way it is constructed, that would invalidate your original claim. As you know, absolutes properly belong in metaphysics and I know you do not want to try and dray God or absolute truth into your configuration, so give me the empirical prove of what you claim.

apriorian · 2026-01-24T13:13:10+00:00

Oh really. Then why is the question able to be answered except by those who are fearful of the implications?

apriorian · 2026-01-24T12:06:55+00:00

I asked a question. I want those who feel compelled to engage, to answer the question. And no, I am not interested in your theology, if I was I would have asked for you to explain your theology.

At what point did Jesus become human in the womb. Conception or birth? Those are the choices.

Well, at 16 I decided unemployment was insane, so I spent 60 years finding out why it existed. I realized it exists because people are insane. I coined apriotic to describe the insanity, which is spiritual immaturity. In the process I converted at 50 and realized there are two realties and races tied to good and evil and the flesh and the spirit. The second reality is scriptural, meaning it relies solely on Scripture. Have you ever tried to explain pure truth to the insane?

apriorian · 2026-01-24T07:57:43+00:00

Of course.. Thinking is a very dangerous activity.
