just because something sounds like something else does not mean that they are the same thing.
Qui, we
logic is nothing more than a perception and a judgement. what 'logic' is varies from one person to another.
Well... No. Unless you live in a world God didn't create...
LOGIC is systematic rationality. Perception itself is not logic.
PERCEPTION is the receipt of information, or the "face value" of something, where logic is the systematic processing of what we can perceive (This is why many science buffs find anything "spiritually objective" hard to swallow, for example. They know THAT they perceive, but they don't go into WHY - since they can't "perceive" those things).
And JUDGMENT would be what you do once you have perceived AND logically processed a bit. Judgment and choice happen when we take what we know and DO something with it.
when you speak of this word ("biblical" ) all you are speaking about is a type of understanding of what you believe is biblical and what is not. as someones understanding changes so too does what they consider "biblical" to be.
I personally don't think a monkey can understand the bible. To all humans though, the term biblical is a reference to what the bible means to GOD.
when I say biblical, that's what I mean. And BECAUSE I know the bible means something SPECIFIC to God, I take interest in the bible, and read it, and make connections throughout it.
I perceive. I process. I make judgments.
But only in the awareness that he himself wrote it and actually knows what he meant. God is not a deconstructionist English professor.
1. because possession is a like a cup that overflows.
I like it
2. because the infinity symbol is representative of a divine plan of free and infinite love. both agape-love and the eros-love when understood from a spiritual sense as love and desire are two sides of the same coin.
Are you coming on to me? jk
I can understand what you mean.
there is no male nor female in Christ...only the complete androgyny image of God. 'male' and 'female' are just terms to describe the same thing in different ways and this is obvious because humanity is one thing but they come in male and female versions. 'sorrow' and 'joy' are a similar way of viewing this "obsession" and "possession". sorrow and joy are the same thing though they seem like opposites. if one could understand some of the logic of God when he said that he will 'turn our sorrow into joy' or "darkness into light" then you understand that this sorrow was a product of heaven just like the joy is and in different seasons one or the other occurs.
Q. What's the opposite of a shark, a wallet, a pineapple, a bulldozer, a cloud, money...?
A. God knows
I think what you're saying is true and it sounds scripturish enough. But again, the original point was about defining obsession as a sort of lacking in the heart - caused by sin I suppose. And the point was to define "possession" if that specific word was conceived as a sort of "new covenant" opposite. Possession is a state, like obsession is a state.
Or something like that. I could be off on what he meant. But that's how I read it.
the tree of life is not a tree of duality/separation like the tree of knowledge of good and evil is.
I have often wondered about this myself. The bible doesn't say the tree was bad, but just says not to eat of it. But as innocent people, is this like when you tell a child not to cross the street? Its not that you never want them to cross. Just not when they are three.
Just a thought.
Also, isn't the tree of life literally the cross?
