Christianity: God exists as One, manifest in the three persons of the Trinity.

Pantheism: God is a tree; God is a beetle; God is a river; etc.

Chrys: "I see no conflict".

:freak:

someone who believes in pantheism would not say God is a tree
but
they would say the tree is part of God in that nothing can exist outside of God

Kind of like that, except not even remotely at all.

So... almost, but not entirely unlike tea?


Welcome to TOL... I guess :noid: Seems kinda weird to welcome a guy who's been here for a year already, but lurking in the shadows :granite:

So, why did it take you so long to step into the conversation? Are you shy? Or just a voyeur?

I really enjoy reading debates more than I do participating in them. It just never seemed to occur to me that I could actually register.

If you go any slower we could all be here til Christmas. :think:

It's a part of my body. Guess which one I'm holding up....that's right, my index finger, like Socrates...

I'm guessing this group thought he was going to hold up another one.

now
cut it off
What, your nose need company? :shocked: :D

now

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I certainly hope not.

or
just a part that was once part of you
And is no more. It is a separate thing that I would not consider myself and cannot consider itself me.

If you agree with that our argument is about clarity. Mine was clear in that distinction between objects and yours wasn't, was open to a broader interpretation that went to being and consciousness.

Always happy to help a pal out. :e4e:

Hello, everyone. Obviously, I've just registered, and I hope to have some nice, lively conversations with all of you.

I've been lurking on TOL for upwards of a year, so I already know a lot of you in a creepy stalker sort of way. :noid:

Welcome! I know I've already repped one of your posts.
