*Asha, Ash... any more rabbits in the warren?:)* Yes....and hopefully they will breed like rabbits.🤣 "I don't mean to antagonize on purpose, but there is that aspect of the Word of God being "alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword—it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit" (Hebrews 4:12)." *I don't mean to antagonize you...**on purpose**...**but*****.**....lol🤣 **But**...*by the powers of Whitesnake...."here I go again on my own*." lol I don't mind the antagonism....intentional or not....it could be when discussing the Bible that it is impossible not to antagonize someone who is looking for truth....yes? If I ask anyone for the most accurate writing ever produced and then they came back with a Biblical phrase....all one could do is chuckle....ah ha very funny...good one....well played...something like that? 😅 But just to make this even clearer....you can read that again to yourself. Does that line sell something to you? That line has been used here at Sojooo before and I have commented on its use and the glaring lie that it is. I can prove and have proven, easily, that that statement is a bald face lie....and yet here it is again...how is that possible? So, as you can intuit, I am not writing this to antagonize you...just raise the bar a bit. This line does not sell. It makes your own personal opinion have less veracity. Lets take a look at the linguistic structure of the Perfect Word of God. *"the Word of God being "alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword—it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit."* First off....the word of God is not alive and active....it is dead and passive. Second - *sharper than any double-edged sword*..... Really.....it can't even make an honest comment in the physical world....it always degenerates to metaphysics....always. It cuts nothing....it avoids truth and runs back to metaphysics....every time. And to prove this point..... Thirdly - *it penetrate even to dividing soul and spirit.* *Soul and Spirit....wow....not just Soul...but Soul and Spirit....ouch???* What is soul and what is spirit?  ....metaphysics on parade. Really...it can do that...it can do something in metaphysics? Odd that *"Your logic cuts both ways - it slices away God and free will, but accidentally chops off the handle you're holding (logic itself, truth, morals). It can't stand on its own without borrowing from the very worldview you're attacking.*" It does not 'accidentally' chop off the handle I am holding. God and logic do not fall on the same archetype. God and Morality do not fall on the same archetype. God is amoral. This is not contentious. But if you read your statement again, you will find that you used a circuitous pattern again. *Your logic cuts off your logic?* Do you see that? All good...just observation. "*If Zoroastrianism embodies the concept of free will as the gift that makes the choice between truth (Asha) and deceit (Druj) real, then wouldn't authoritarianism be the suppression/denial of free choice?* Does Zoroastrianism do that? Honest question? Maybe we could set up a standard of excellence as we find patterns that work and don't work.....something like that....on the level of excellence. Christianity.....may have patterns of excellence...and if so...we could 'borrow' them and add them to the patterns of excellence that others have found, too. Something like that. However, we would be wise not to get too bogged down in trying to demonstrate that there are patterns in other religions that make no sense what so ever....all good. We don't have to walk in dog shit...just step over it....and move on. Something like that? If Zoroastrianism is making some claim that seem like 'dog shit' to you....just leave it alone...all good. I am using patterns that work...literally work. If you find a flaw in any of my patterning, please point it out....glad to update improve and move forward. Once again, if I have overlooked some of your finer points...my apologies. Your contributions to this conversation are greatly appreciated...thank you. Peace.😇
