Indeed it is, anon. Born again of God's spirit or dead in your sinful adamic nature.
Not that I've heard. It is one of the reasons that I still hold in tension the possibility of Trump being the Antichrist as well as the apparent saviour of western civilisation.
>As Q said, Plan can't be stopped so we're along for the ride.
Indeed, but with Scripture and the Holy Spirit as our unfailing guide and knowing that God wins - actually, HAS WON since Jesus defeated Satan 2000 years ago on the cross.
>well I don't mean to put humans above the divine but we know there's fuckery in the bible
Not in its original languages and, on the who the Textsu Receptus which is what the KJV is based on is a faithful translation of the original texts, unlike the Vaticanus.
However, if you are speaking of modern translations/paraphrases, such as "The Message" (an iniquituous parapharase if ever there was one) then I agree.

>>"the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference"
In which case we should be able to transpose the active verbs in that claim and say: the opposite of hate is not love, but indifference.
Does that work for you, anon?
>In truth, the opposite of something should have the direct opposite reaction, correct?
To an extent…
But truth itself exists without a reaction.
On the other hand, falsehood is a denial of a pre-existing truth.
>Falsehood, is more aptly described not as denial of pre-existing Truth, but a warp of it; a twist.

>For even lies must have a foundation of Truth, for what God knows is True!
I think I can allow that although I would probably have expressed it differently.
The absolute necessarily exists before its description or application.
>Therefore, like you said: the absolute (God) is NECESSARY before its description or application.
True.
So, therefore, it behoves us all to consider what is the absolute? Is there a God who created us or are we self-created vai chance and evolution?
If the former, then it behoves us to make an attmpt to discover who is our creator and what he might require of us. For, the created always is subservient to the creator.
If the latter, and we are a product of evolution and chance, then we are our own gods and any god that attempts to direct us is a usurper of human rights. He/she/it should be told to f off.
The only God who logically may make demands of humanity is the Creator of humanity. All others are shills and false gods.
>For, what madness is existence when we blindly follow God's expressions, rather than God?
True.
So best we understand that God's ultimate revelation of Himself is Jesus Christ - God becoming a man. There is nothing further/beyond that…
