Then you need to talk to your mom or mom brother since he's the one who's talking all this unmovable mover that's not a Christian philosophy at all that's a Mormon thing that your brother Peter brought up
Beloved you really don’t know do you, it's one of those secrets about Christianity you'll never learn from your minister.
Open up your mind and learn the truth about your god.
1, The word Greek word logos means to reason, if you do a math problem in your head then you are logos-ing. If you then teach that problem to a class of kids you are showing the logos-ing or reason of your mine. John wrote
“Then went this saying/logos abroad ……” John 21
You could send out reasoning for others to comprehend or reason through themselves. That is the basic meaning of the word and how a Hebrew man like John would have understood it. Jesus and his atonement was the reason of God and he sent him into the world to give us the Father's message/logos.
2, However the Greeks loved reasoning, thy sat around in their schools trying to out reason each other. At some point “to reason” took on a will and personality of it's own as if reasoning was a being, reason became god.
In fact ‘to be’ was to exist and they reasoned that the only thing which really existed was God/theos all the rest was what he thought into existence or ‘not being’, it all gets very complicated, but at the heart of it was monotheism.
“from wik “ a monotheistic concept advanced by Aristotle, a polytheist, as a primary cause or "mover" of all the motion in the universe”
3, The Greeks reasoned that because they were physical beings and could not see into the next room let alone the other side of the world God could not be a physical being so they came up with this idea of pure mind. They believed reasoning could exist outside of outside of matter. This ‘immoveable mover’ would not move because that would imply imperfection.
4, They set up this system where this pure mind would logos/reason into being a lesser god like Jupiter or Diana for them to worship. This made it possible for there to be different gods in different countries and for these gods to act like silly children fighting between themselves.
5, The important point here is that every good little Roman boy was taught Greek philosophy, that God was pure mind without any material substances was just a given fact in their minds.
6, The first generation Christians were mostly made up of Jews with a few Romans and Greeks. Men like Saul were sent out to round them up to be killed. Between the Jews and the Roman persecution not many of them lasted beyond 100 ad. Add to that the false teachers which Paul warned of there weren’t any left to pass on the true teachings.
7, So the second and third generation Christian were converted Romans whose basic assumption about reality was that god was pure mind. The early apologist were trying to reason to other Romans the truth about their God and it didn’t take long to make the argument that God the Father was this pure mind of Greek philosophy and Jesus was his logos.
Ah-la the immaterial Trinity and the apostasy which Amos and many others prophesied would happen.
