@Mightie836@JohnSmithwtb@GregNotSure@GeorgeRoush It’s alright.
There are unfortunate humanities requirements for many degrees. And the objectivity of a subject itself has little to do with faculty culture, which is the beastly thing I often point to.
Experienced that shit firsthand and it was insufferable.
@RubeTotal@JohnSmithwtb@GregNotSure@GeorgeRoush Geology, my dude. You wouldn’t believe how far the march through institutions has gone. Plus the unfortunate humanities requirements for a STEM degree don’t help.
@JohnSmithwtb@GregNotSure@GeorgeRoush Because it is a scam. I literally graduated from university. I basically taught myself. The instructors were too busy dicking around and regurgitating shit you’d read on Tumblr circa 2011.
Also, I wish I’d gone into a trade. All the guys I know who did make tons of money.
@Kaosreincarnate@vfm6974@EveKeneinan Christian Europe was perfectly capable of conquest, state-building, and war. The historical record makes the “Christianity made the West weak” thesis absurd.
@Kaosreincarnate@vfm6974@EveKeneinan If anything, the Western crisis of civilizational confidence is a modern phenomenon, not something Christianity inflicted on Europe a thousand years ago.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 Worse, you repeatedly treat your own intuitions about what God can or would do as limits upon the Almighty. That is a remarkably cramped conception of divine majesty.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 So yes: the universe, heaven and earth, angels, humanity, etc. were created through the Son.
John 1:3 & Colossians 1:16 are good verses for this.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 Yes, with the qualification that creation is the work of the one Triune God.
Everything created was created from the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 Not three beings, three parts, or three Gods.
That’s the distinction you keep missing:
WHAT is the Father? God.
WHAT is the Son? God.
WHAT is the Holy Spirit? God.
WHO is the Father? The Father.
WHO is the Son? The Son.
WHO is the Spirit? The Holy Spirit.
Three whos; one what.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 God is the one, eternal, uncreated, transcendent Creator and source of all created existence.
There is only one God, possessing one indivisible divine nature, power and will.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons who wholly possess that one divine nature.
@IslamicQuiz_c@JamesKowalski88 In fact, Christianity explicitly rejects what you just described.
Christ’s humanity does not become divinity, nor does His divinity become humanity. The two are united in one Person “without confusion, without change, without division, without separation.”
