Why? Why wouldn't Paterology and Pneumatology be equal parts of the discussion of the Trinity if they are equal parts of the trinity? 🤔

I don't know, but I know your Christology is different

Correct, I have very similar objections, and so did my mom and grandparents

Well, but the overall world population shouldn't just keep endlessly growing. Concern about whether or not there will be more people than the planet can support has been floated for some time.

I think this TRIES to explain this concept as an object lesson. Sorta works. This helps a little too Although these videos explain the concept a little more on the nose I think... I still don't see... Well.. I'm just not sure what this has to do with the original premise on this thread...

As good a metaphor as the monkey trap example is for numerous things, I'm not sure I see how it fits here... or even quite what you are comparing it to. What exactly ARE you comparing the trapped monkey to? People, I suppose. The Jar? The treat? Somehow in there your idea of what you think...

In this case, I think that's exactly what they mean - the monkey has created the constraint by hold his fist closed over the desired object.

What exactly are you trying to convey? What you present here is a little too abstract for anybody to work with I think, esp if you are looking for answers or ideas. This sounds more like a situation where someone who is trapped in negative thinking goes to see a therapist and after some time...

This is where I thought you might have been ironic - if taken straight it's really lame and irresponsible advice. Well, but that's not what you believe, right? What? In light of the other post I quoted, it has me scratching my head.

The forum isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future AFAIK. See the thread "Interfaith is doing fine" or ask @iBrian if unsure.

Hunh?

Define woo

It doesn't logically follow that each individual must have children. Which is what I thought you were implying. Having children with the explicit idea someone else can raise them? What the hey? Sounds irresponsible. Poor planning in many if not most cases where someone does this, and certainly...

Hunh?

For all their problems, my mom and grandparents are the mainstay of what I remember from early life. Our relationship wasn't perfect, and maybe not entirely healthy, but by and large I got along with them most of the time. I have my criticisms of them, my frustrations, but if I was ever really...

Sorry for the loss of your friend. 😑

Sorry for the loss of your friend 😑

It did seem like a good question though, from @wil to wonder whether there were any etymological links in the deep past, between the two words and concepts. I've wondered that two but never found any link yet. I didn't dig deeply on this topic in particular though. As you said, they may just be...
