Having A Humble Opinion Of Self

[sanctus]

"no translation errors", perhaps based on there being several versions of the original writings in question, which rather than clearing anything up further errodes the validity of the bible.

Well, obviously I will. It is equally obvious we are going to go around in circles trying to one up one another without any fruitful dialogue. this comes to me when I realize that neitehr of us shall accept the source documents of the other as valid. where do we go with thatMaybe it's best to agree not to agree?

yes, the trinity was created after the fact. It was created as part of the methodology to convert pagans, and in the process paganized the early christian beliefs.
?

No, it was not. I think I shall post the teaching on the Trinity and we can discuss it in a thread that it specific to that them. I realize that nothing posted on this thread has anything at all to do with the topic;-) Maybe I'll do the Virgin birth for you too?

fair enough, sanctus.

So back to the orginal topic on humility:

Do you believe what you posted to open this thread?

Why do you beleive in this separation between you and your godhead (creator and created)?

" think I shall post the teaching on the Trinity "

I think this will fall under the "we won't accept the source documents of each other category" as you accept the revised history of the RC where I do not. Ever ask why they keep so many documents locked up in the vatican? Ever ask why some books didn't make the cut in canonizing the bible? Its neither here nor there as we are likely to agree on next to nothing when it comes to christianity since you think it is "true" and i think it is a bag of lies created to attempt to unite a crumbling roman empire. You never answered if you are a paulist or not. If you are, how do you put so much faith in a MAN that never saw the supposed jesus for his interpretations of what the jesus would want?

I accepted what he wrote. I believe that God is omnipotent and that He created us out of love and wants us in union with Him. What specifically do you wonder about?

So are you a paulist? So you worship a MAN? Makes since, in more ways than one.

"He was the Messiah promised in the Old Testament"
Really? Not according to the jews.

?

well, that the Jewish people rejected the Messiah is not really, in truth, my concern. lots of people still reject Jesus as Messiah. You, for one example. Am I a Paulist? An odd sort of question. No, and yes. I am Catholic(Christian). St. Paul is one of our revered Apostles, and he wrote the majority of the New Testament. does that, in essence make me a "Paulist"? I do not think so!

why do you see yourself as needing to be beneath and separate from something? Humility does not come from submission, or from devaluing yourself. Humility comes from understanding yourself. So long as one follows another, they will never find that understanding, and never have a real humility. (imo of course)

It just came to me, after I submitted the other post, that I do believe in the humility of the self. Humilty does not refer as much to submission as to understanding, to not be bold in asserting ourselves as vain. But instead, to understand our place in the world and in the fellowship of God
