I feel sure that you and he do not disagree about that.
Spirited: No we don’t. Where we definitively part ways is with the reduction to myth and story of our Lord’s Revelation to man, specifically with His “face to face” revelation to Moses in the desert by evolutionary theists and progressive creationists.
The Church Fathers warned against this, and very sternly rebuked Origenists and apostate Kabbalist Jews (Gnostic pagan Judaizers) as damnable heretics. Stop up your ears against them, they said.
Do you not see that progressive creationism and its theological counterpart, evolutionary theism, “pull God down out of the supernatural” dimension into the natural dimension where He and His Divine Powers are within reach of mankind and their philosophies, science, et al? How else can man presume to speak for God??? To use Him, as if He is clay in their hands, to create and ignite a Cosmic Egg and afterwards act as an animating mechanism for evolution? This particularly heinous tactic has a long pedigree, stretching back to Babylon, and according to New Age historians, across the Deluge to Atlantis.
When God is either shut away in the supernatural realm, pulled down out of it, or declared dead (Nimrod, Kabbalists, Marx, Nietzsche) the result is naturalism of which there are two kinds: atomism and pantheism.
Progressive creationism and evolutionary theism are not thesis but antithesis. They are as spiritually perilous as Marx’s Dialectical Materialism, Darwinism, Blavatsky’s Luciferian Theosophy, Steiner’s Anthroposophy, and Kabbalism.
Yes, I know what I say is offensive. Nevertheless, it must be said.
But what on earth does this have to do with TXnMA??? He's not doing any of that.
What is this evolutionary creationism business? I haven't had that preached to me lately (or ever), so I wonder what that is.
No faithful lover of God would dream of trying to "pull Him down" to "'our' [human] level." What sense does it make to say that our Father is "reducible" to the (finite, imperfect) thoughts/ideas of His [human] son, who was made in His image?
I have a very strong suspicion that my dear brother in Christ, TXnMA, understands that such a thing would be complete heresy, and wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Why do you impute so much "bad stuff" to him?
