intent to view expansively and to radically re-assess pretty much everything we have been taught or programmed with.
That's literally me except the programmed part because my metaphysical disposition is one of divine determinism.
What I mean is there is a God or higher being if you will that orchestrates everything even to our most minute thoughts. He's just determined that you and I would arrive at different conclusions.
Concerning the world, I question EVERYTHING. Concerning my God that has decreed I would find a treasure in His work, I dare not.
I know we have discussed this topic in lengthy discourse and I am glad to continue doing. You and I differ from those that you have called out as we promote this dialogue.
In such, is where the truth is mined if you will. I think every person had some degree of malleability to what they believe but, for others, they are inhibited by their own hubris.
I will say that according to the metaphysical doctrine to which I hold it is impossible that I can think anything otherwise than believe that Jesus Christ is LORD and died for me over 2000 years ago.
So, in that sense, you are correct. I think it would be a fool's errand to try to convince me otherwise because my doctrine properly understood does not allow for apostasy.
When someone believes on Christ's death and that alone for righteousness, that's what I would call a "done deal". Thus, I understand why you had chosen to disengage because you had rightly judged you would be unable to change my mind.
This isn't about you or me. The question becomes what Christ's death if it were for anything what was it for precisely? I am a wretch no better than any other man.
If ye think yourself higher than what Jesus did or do not believe He did die on the cross for certain person's, there is nothing else I can say but wish you the best in your quest for righteousness.
