I taught myself how to translate them perfectly according to the grammatical inflection of the autographed languages of the bible. A feat that took me years. It took me so long because of my own theological prejudice of what those words MUST mean right? As well as, the theological prejudice of my teachers.(July 27, 2018 at 2:34 am)Haipule Wrote: Silly: yes. Sarcasm: no. I really, really can't STAND theology and wrote an entire book on the Word of God vs. Theology. Well, the Word of God won!
We all know that theology is lame! Religion is lame! But, the Word of God has absativally NOTHING to do with "theology" or "religion". The Xtians here are not going to back me up. Neither are the agnostics, atheists or anti-theists because all put God in some box they can fuck with and quote Scripture! These things should not be!
Your own life and observation is far more important than anyone's "theology", "religiosities" or even "science"!
I personally would rather talk to you about your observations over martinis rather then listen to another "theologian", religious freak on science geek!
Might I ask what you consider the Word of God?
I tend to be more intuitive and understanding of certain things than others, and it seems to me that your personal take on the Word of God is just that: personal. It is not anything that can be demonstratively proven as real. In fact, according to the wonderful science of psychology, you could very well just be imagining that something exists when it does not.
To this end, I LOVE God's Word found in Scripture(the bible), and HATE every theological nuanced imposed upon it! The English translation of the bible is soo bad--the simple truths about the right here, right now, that life I discovered, has been completely burned beyond recognition!
For some crazy ass reason, the hierarchy of the church thought it was talking about "salvation", "sin" and "spirit" while inventing religion and worship so they could have their power!
I look at the hierarchy, known as "the clergy", with their invented nonsense, like a brick looks at a stained glass window!
I did not "imagine" proper noun declension or, verb conjugation! I honored it as it is written in the autographed language by the original writers. I found something gorgeous! Did I do something wrong?
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
