RE: Criticism of criticism: The beginning of discussion and argument

in #philosophy • 7 years ago

This is what i want you to know. Maybe i should say it from the bible itself which is the foundation of your the knowledge of what you believe or think you believe

Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

This was what Christ said the Peter. This means that it's not of your doing that you believe. What you believe choose you to believe and you can not stop believing in it because it's not within your power to do so.

Same way it is to those who do not believe. They do not choose not to believe but that which they do not believe gave not choose them.

I also know the saying that God does not choose the perfect but he perfect him that he choses.

So what's your criticism?

    You are right. You are one of the few persons I have seen that have this revelation with me. Let me compliment your coment better;

    Apostle Paul wrote in ROMANS 9:10-18;
    "This son was our ancestor Isaac. When he married Rebekah, she gave birth to twins. But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.” In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.” Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.” So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen."

      Very true. So at least we have come to a point of no criticism which is another criticism. How can we have same revelation and understanding/believe of a thing that were just told but not seen,

      How can we not criticize the things that look true to us? How come we are not bothered that we have come to believe?
