So I take it that you believe that ONLY Jesus can bring sight to the blind??
James... you made my point...Jesus had to bring sight, the blind man didn't have it in him to do it himself.
Haha..
Well, as to whether someone can understand or identify "Holiness", I have to say, "I can".
The only issue is whether it can be taught. Teaching is the ENTIRE issue (communication). Jesus was a teacher for a reason. He didn't just run around…
:-) You make me smile James. Tozer's point is that man cannot logic His way to God because there are factors he can't identify because he in innately blind to them. Holiness... who of us can begin to identify that quality. I think I started to catch…
But God speaks to Philosophers too. ]:o)
And yes, I had read the article, but that guy isn't a philosopher but a spiritualist. I have no disagreement with him. He just doesn't display understanding, logos, but rather emotional appeal, pathos. He is…
I think philosophers imagine, and sometime their close. I think that only God can reveal himself to us. We don't have the eyes to see, unless God first "spits on the ground, stirs up some mud" and heals our "blindness".
Did you look at the article?…

WE know how to "see" the eternal and what is and isn't.
Most people do not believe that Mankind needs saving, but that is a large part of why he actually does. He is not responding to actual threats because he is not interested. He is not interested because he does not believe any are real. He knows that…
ahhh but now come an interesting seque.... How do we search that which is entirely foreign to us. Everything for us is in "time", how do we explore "eternal"? We only know finite. How do we approach the infinite?
I'll again recommend Tozer, but ins…
Yes, we always have to start in the middle of the puzzle without knowing how far anything extends in any direction. So we have to take one piece and examine what is surrounding it (what isn't it) and see what matches and what doesn't. If we are smar…

Disclaimer: This isn't a rant on teachings out in the world, but on those inside the Christian Church.
Forgiveness isn't the issue. I'm not the one harmed in the first place, and second, who am I to hold a "sin" against anyone when my own stack is so tall. That's not what I mean James.
I mean I will not let falsehood go unchallanged. Readers can det…
That is most definitely a quandry you are in. You're stuck between what the mind thinks it should know versus what seems hard to wrap your mind around. I understand that. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that we were evolved from monkeys. It mak…
fundamentally identify the reduce... if I understand you correctly.
I thougt your logic was sufficient to move forward.... :-)
