Does God require a special language? : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 12/8/2013

This conception, or denial of conception, has been carried by the Christian tradition into the present day. For example Karl Barth framed God as the 'wholly Other', the one who could not be found at the end of any human path.

OUG, thank you, there are none so blind and all that.

Adam's ale for me.

Peter, you're quite right, I'm afraid my tendency when poked is to poke back. Mea culpa.

thanks anti..
but i guess i got a head start

$ELL'$..quote..<<..We have something in common!>>

addressed toyour good self reveal
$ellS/quote..continues<<..I went to an Anglican school and the experience turned me into an atheist,>>

see i was born/bred/educated..that science was god
that no sky fairy to resist anything men do..thus none to judge anyone..

but in time i realized science is just like
the peer/based..religion only peer revieuw..in science..judges only..its own thesis elites..theo-wry.

anyhow science validated E[energy]..cant be created..nor destroyed
thus went into many 'forbidden/secret texts..that just like peer reviewed SCI-trance..had referances to yet other not so secret texts

[like the so called bi-[two]-ble[books]
plus the torah/koran/buddist stuff/shinto
even true scientists like swedenberg..and the likes of mary baker eddie

but i did this after meeting..[finding]..
the living godhead within myself and importantly..in other
[mainly the lower life/beasts nature..]

in time i saw it..even in man
[made not in gods image]..but in satans image
which even the beasts recognized.. as 'man'..

we see it ea-silly
in the young Nurtured fierclyby its parental
...[love of beast..for its own*..image]..inherent in nature

natures natural-selected surviving..
/ie pa-rent-al*..nurture* ..as witnessed in nature
living beast yet god loves even the least[and there is some awe-sum..but horrid 'beasts'..out there

[yet human inhumanity..reigns supreem

so i too feel the call..<<in fact it turned me into an angry rationalist who was bent on doing the only thing that made sense:>>

give good back to god..eliminate vile
yet what the greater good..to refuse to do evil

even hell is divided..on how best to do its vile
so too the higher..how to persist living LOVING good..
when the dark-forces..so tempt us to be..like they are..

but no death..serves the life giver
but we know*..E=mc2...

so...whats the rule..re energy conservation?
do unto other,..as you would have them do unto you

wake the dreamer
or teach vivid dreaming

yea..though..ye may hear of war
do not stand before god..with dirty hands

why ignore..the blood and gore..of war..?

[its simply satan taking his own?..to their new home]..
or let satan keep this realm..take away the few..what would we do?

love god..by loving
living..doing only good

While this ridiculous article about whether a non-existent god requires a special language has been furiously debated, people in Egypt are dying by the thousands!

Small things amuse small minds!

Antiseptic..<<..Adam's ale for me.>>

nip of bundy rum
in a pot of coke..no ice
anytime anyplace..you got a great mind..discourse with you would be fun

but why did you get short
when peter perhaps..found one worthy..to expand the topic

[i know most of the things i say..are half truth..half not
as i walk the middle path..hoping the error is obvious..or will be corrected[just cause i FEEL* a fact true..dont allways mean..anyone of us is ALLWAYS*..right

YET..in fact..thats why god so loves us
for our imperfection..our humanity

anyhow..so many informed minds ...on this thread
that now has gone dead

because a demonvoice..closed it down
with the eye for eye
m,y plankis bigger than yournstick*

<<..my tendency when poked is to poke back.>>

who dont
but others cut and run

oh what would jesus do
probably what hedid [let be done]..last time

cause theytstill miss the meaning of jesus full name
god with us
YE SHALL CALL HIM...emanu-EL
el is gods secret name..inoted it in S-EL-ls..

Mea culpa...ok lets skip the booze
lets have a cuppa culpa..and skin this cat

what you two could talk of [with devid yu etc could go somewhere

we were talking
then what went wrong
we thunk.,..a negative attracted a negative
we let in demons unaware..[cause god must be seen ..to be*...fair

recall jesus said
why clean his house..
when the demon..returns with 7 mates

OUG,I'm not entirely sure why I got "short" with Peter, other than that I found his tone and the sense that some things are just too hard to explain to the plebs irritating. I have to learn not to react in that way. Of all my vices (and needless to say, they are many) that is the most difficult to control.

If a special language is required, then by all means we should use it, but only if you could explain it without using that special language.

Far too much "knowledge" is pretence and not examined properly because nobody wants to admit they don't understand what it means. Semantics is not syntactics - in other words, meaning is separate from the form of the words and it is a two-way process to ensure the meaning is properly understood at both ends of the discourse. Sometimes meaning is altogether separate from the form, as in metaphor or allusion, or in the way you like to pull words apart.
