Answer ANY of my (or our) qestions, rebut ANY of my rebuttals, cite ANY sources of his claims, defend ANY of his assertions when questioned. Basically he is like a DEMOCRAT: Make claims and double down instead of supporting.
If this guy can question God's Word, I can certainly question his STRANGE TEACHINGS.
Address the facts, LBF. Do your ideas stand a chance???
You can't do any work or come to any true knowledge about those things if you start from a faulty worldview built on false and unjustified assumptions.
Why would I listen or read what someone has to say about the world, reality or God, if they can't give an account of metaphysical concepts that they presuppose like knowledge, truth, meaning, logic, etc.
If someone argues that Christianity is sun worship I will ask them to justify the claim and most importantly - ask how did they came to know that. If I say that Christianity is true you would ask me the same thing, right? So why would I grant you the opposite claim? You reasserting your position doesn't make it any more convincing or justified. Imagine me saying "Christianity is real because the Bible says so". Would you accept that?
'If you start from a faulty worldview..."
Correct. So all should get to correcting the lies given by study of the original truths that were twisted.
"If someone argues that Christianity is sun worship''.....they'd get into a strawman argument as is usually the case with literalist interpretation.
One can't debate without knowing the opposite viewpoint and can't judge what is unknown. One knows. Another believes.
As for all answers to all questions: There is only One that can be known. MANY are believed.
If one can't work difficult calculus equations, then it doesn't exist as concept, right? And is useless. Whatever it might be that's being discussed. I can't think it, or refuse to look, so it doesn't exist and work can't be done by it, right? Accuracy and clarity, aka understanding being the goal, with knowledge of how to get there.
If its metaphysics you need, then study The Tao of Physics that show a connection to theology. You'll be disappointed that it doesn't match your current take, so I wouldn't bother - If I were you.
You project your own weakness. The links I provided detail the metaphysics as well as their SOURCE. You provide dogma and your words are a tangled mess lacking any substance. You didn't read, think and learn, but judge anyway, and that is what caused the gnostic to call the willfully ignorant 'The Profane' and 'seekers after smooth things'. Put on the big boy pants and do the work.
Alright, let's cut to the chase: Why ought we value truth and knowledge at all?
The asking itself is a tell.
It's a meta-ethical and meta-epistemological question. I can give an account from my worldview. I asked you for how you justify it in yours?
Does universal objective truth exist?
How does it exist (in what way/mode)?
Is it knowable by man's limited mind and to what extent?
How does one come to that knowledge and how can one verify it's not a delusion of the mind?
Why ought we choose truth over falsehood?
A gnostic of your caliber should be able to answer those questions easily.
The source of your bible is Q.
