>>24754713That verse is referring to Jesus becoming man which happened through Mary giving birth to him. Jesus is both God and man.
>>24754734Jesus could not have been a man because he did not have the soul of a human nature. Isaiah 1:14 says that God has a soul:>Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.This must be metaphorical, and so must any mention of Jesus having a soul be. Jesus did not have a human nature but only the likeness of human nature.Philippians 2:9>But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:Romans 8:3>For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
>>24754755Jesus did have a human soul as all humans do. He was born.
Amazing how dindus and muzzies can’t even get the basics right. These are people who openly believe in elephant gods, genies, and flying horses with human heads, but all of a sudden they’re incapable of suspending belief at the idea of three persons with the same nature. Hilarious.
>>24754619>>And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.The context: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.The man approached Jesus as merely a 'teacher' i.e. a man. He didn't suspect Jesus of even being the Messiah much less God. Thus, since as Jesus was approached as just a man he answered like a man. The question posed by Jesus ("Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God") is rhetorical. If only God is good, and you are calling me "Good Master", what does make me? God.>>Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.The Father speaks The Word (The Son) which is compelled to be spoken by the Holy Spirit (Heart of God)—this, however, does not mean that The Father, The Son and The Holy spirit aren't God. Also, the carnal body has been glorified, no longer illusory or less-than-real. It is real and eternal seeing as it has never been stained by sin, and all good things are eternal. I don't believe this could happen in Hinduism.>>I have read the booksThat's great, that's amazing; that does not mean you understood it or possess sound arguments for your inferences.

Hello /lit/,All through my life I have stuck (perhaps due to an ingrained petty elitism) to the reading of ''serious'' literature, up to a recent foray across well-loved genre books, wherein I discovered a wealth of enjoyment not to neglect.Since then I have been on the lookout for different flavors to sound amid the mire of slop where gems are usually steeped in, a prospect never easy to navigate.So I was wondering about what genre-tagged books you consider great, or simply your favorite for any number of reasons.I would be grateful for thoughts and markers.So far I loved LOTR, Gormenghast, Book of the New Sun, Neverending Story; and as far as authors go I could name Lem, Simenon, LeGuin, Gibson, Grabinski, K. Dick, Verne or Ligotti as the best yet.
Can you still use a Kindle without ever going online and signing in? Just buy it, keep it offline from day one, and transfer books. Seeing how they're cracking down on offline downloads, I wonder if this is next before I buy one.Also, general e-reader thread.

Nobody likes my story or characters... It's over. How should I kill myself? Gun, rope, or pills?
/wg/ really is a seat for deluded, no-hope writers to disguise their vast lack of talent. Underneath the earnest backslaps and reassurances, the recommendations and the guides, lurks the knowledge, common to all, that no one here writes anything of value. But without everyone playing along the forcefield of delusion would break down.

I've read a few ancient texts written by philosophers and monks, they always speak about how to develop sexual and physical resistance towards women, but never about being emotionally independant from them. Perphaps because men of that era thought of women as inferior and unreliable, so they never had to deal with that problem. But today, we know that it's not true. Male loneliness epidemic is a well known phenomenon, not just on 4chan and the internet, but it is heavily spoken about and researched in real life. Men want to be loved by women, and are suffering because of it. So, how does a man overcome his 'desire to be loved by a woman'? Any contemporary works that tell you how you can do this?
It's so comical to have an innate yearning for love as someone born an unlovable subhuman retard. You're like a creature who feels hunger but born without a mouth. What did the Demiurge mean by this?

With the Church now positioned against AI, what philosophers or prominent ideologies, besides accelerationists and techno optimists, remain on the side of AI?
>>24754334Now you're asking good questions. The essence is what makes something what it is. The person is the individual thing itself. And unfortunately, I cannot tell you more because I don't understand Aristotelian philosophy enough to be able to confidently weigh in on a 2300 year old debate on whether the essence applies to the species or to the individual and whether universals are real. But you basically cannot intelligently comment on Trinitarianism without having a decent grasp of the issues involved. And at the very least, you should be able to articulate what are the moving parts claimed within the structure of the Holy Trinity (e.g. essence vs. persons).
>>24754825That's what I'm trying to get at; I'm not overly concerned with the wording. I don't call the orthodox demonic for the way they say it, and if the catholic church changed it to the other way I would feel some intense faith shattering pang thay sent me into a schismatic rage. It's not something that can be adequately described by anyone, in my opinion
>>24754865*would not
>>24754865Well, the Orthodox and the Catholics do not disagree on the basic structure of the Holy Trinity, so you wouldn't have to worry about that. I for one think that Catholic theology is better on some respects (Duns Scotus is my favorite theologian), and Orthodox theology is better on other respects (monarchy of the Father > filioque). I hope one day they will be able to reconcile with a mature theology. I will go out of my way to say that the Orthodox do have a point in the sense that Catholics should have hosted ecumenical councils to hammer out these issues. Anyway, the ultimate goal of theology is to understand who God is and why the Bible is the way it is and what does the Bible ultimately mean.

>>24750370>then what has he come here, after a long silence and in all likelihood for the last time, to tell us?Why does this cunt insist that author's HAVE to be responsive to current events? I read to escape the realities of this shitty world, not to be constantly reminded of them. Sure, Pynchon writes about topics that are rooted in reality, but his prose, as she later describes in this article, is something akin to a literary vision of Bosch, "crammed full of figures both realistic and fantastical, many of them engaged in morally compromising behavior, all of them presumably serving some overarching but endlessly debatable organizing principle." This is what interests me in Pynchon; his dense, encyclopedic knowledge and simultaneously real and fantastical characters and sub-plots.It would be interesting for him to tackle current events, but what makes someone think he's prepared or knowledgeable enough to have already formed a grandiose observation of the last ten years for a novel? It took him 12 years to write and publish Bleeding Edge.
From the highest point of the park, the city lights below sparkled as the stars above them. The lesser light made its elliptical path as nature ordained—trapped in the Earth’s gravitational pull and by its own tangential velocity. That lunar visage maintained its eternal watch, recording the rise of mountains with its prehistoric eyes. Mars hung like a lantern in the expansive black as it steadily grew in luminosity and seemed to beckon man to relinquish it from its lonely path around the ferocity of the sun, mindlessly creating life and ending it with impunity. The solar dictator. Presiding over the first and last. Its authority final and unquestionable. Existing without theory, you may not appeal to it; it will not hear you. You must dance with it. Learn its dimensions and its power. Move in the ways it allows you to move. You might earn great advantage in doing so. It bends space and time with the celestial geometry of its mass and thus designs the orbit of our Earth, the fertile soil on which light grows its creations, and on which it peers back at itself. It was amongst these facts Francis Gorman drank up his vodka, aware in such an acute, unspoken way it might appear to have been imprinted on him since birth. That was thirty years ago, and he was stretched out now—elliptical. As the core of the Earth matches the surface of our star in heat, Francis Gorman radiated a kind of endless warmth. Not of character, mind you, more a white-hot burning of the soul. The vodka too burned as it gushed down his throat into his core. He had four cigarettes left. He would quit tomorrow, and that meant he would die tomorrow. He mused. Musing was all there was left. Theory, so dead, no longer weighed on his mind, but a white-hot burning for facts. Facts to muse on and maybe chuckle over. But ultimately, facts were tragic. All of it was tragic. It required a certain eye to spot tragedy in its most subtle forms, but, rest assured, mused Francis, all of it was tragedy. You can come to a point when your laughter itself is the laugh of tragedy.
