    YHWH’s Divine Images: A Cognitive Approach

    To be fair, if you watched enough of McClellan, he's pretty aware of developments over time, as well as divine images - his book - https://danielomcclellan.wordpress.com/2022/09/06/my-book-yhwhs-divine-images-is-available-now/ https://www.sbl-site.org/assets/pdfs/pubs/9781628374407.pdf

    Indian Philosophy in a nutshell?

    Really cool video. Makes me remember some metaphysical tapes I listened to growing up (that my mom had) that I knew were heavily influenced by Hindu philosophy or other Eastern traditions.

    Some interesting articles on Christianity in Ethiopia

    Sometimes the Guardian articles are easy to open and sometimes they will have a pop up that asks you to sign in (apparently for free) But sometimes just clicking it will open the article, or opening it on another browser Anyway I just happened to run into these while looking at some other...

    Death is an illusion

    When he first presented it, you made it a mental health issue. Also, who assesses something like this over the internet? Also, what's with the feisty attitude? Who needs it!

    Man playing God?

    This content creator makes the point that what has happened is really something like a new breed of wolf, maybe not much different than the selective development of dog breeds but condensed in time. He points out that the company that did this is trying to create a bank of the DNA of existing...

    Death is an illusion

    Nor to make valid assessments or recommendations. Powessy has already explained himself enough.

    Death is an illusion

    Neither of us is in any position to assess what this actually means.

    Some concerning trends in our world regarding religious freedom

    It is important to remember too - it is possible to not hold a view, but still be okay with it or at least unoffended by it. There are quite a lot of views common on the progressive side theologically or otherwise that I don't necessarily hold myself but am not troubled by. That would be at the...

    Death is an illusion

    I have a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State. It would not be appropriate for either of us to provide an actual diagnosis or actual treatment recommendations over the internet and certainly not to get competitive over it. I provide...

    Reincarnation: not RIP but BRB?

    Not quite sure I understand this intriguing but rather technical concept in the context of reincarnation. Maybe I'm missing something obvious and have to review it. It's late now where I am ...🛏️😴

    Death is an illusion

    Maybe, though @powessy didn't say whether these experiences impacted his functioning day to day or causing him distress or cause distress to others. By his own description they do sound frequent and persistent. Since treatment often involves medication with side effects, this may not be...

    Some concerning trends in our world regarding religious freedom

    I certainly think mr webbon's views are extreme, and would be happy to believe he was widely considered extreme when he was considered at all. Even so, there's not always a neat definable line or set of mutually exclusive categories that wall off extremists. Extreme views can be held by very...

    Some concerning trends in our world regarding religious freedom

    Spin-offs, really, though I suppose many may be the old congregations or the next generation thereof. But they didn't stick together as a single remnant. There are several, the United Church of God, the Restored Church of God, Living Church of God, Church of God International, Church of God...

    Honor thy Father and thy Mother

    Something occurred to me as a the reply to my own last post in the series. If someone disagrees with a religion or the completeness of a religion, if they want the idea to go anywhere they convince other ordinary people. Not religious leadership, just spiritual seekers and/or rank and file...

    Reincarnation: not RIP but BRB?

    Well, if it does happen, it happens without most people knowing it most of the time. Which of course makes it very hard to verify. It's the scriptures of religions that have that doctrine and the occasional stories of people who self-report memories of other lives that provide the main...

    How would you share the Good News to the Self-Entrapped?

    This image seems to be showing things popping in and out of existence. Is that what it is implying?

    Honor thy Father and thy Mother

    What's wrong with just disagreeing? Evidence they would show to whom? Why would they need to convince anybody? What would be a better approach?
