Resonance
On the basis of Genesis and what I have learned about cosmology and physics, I envision that the first element of creation (the big bang) was geometric and harmonic which gave rise to wave functions and thus, energy, particles, etc. the physical laws that make up the natural realm.
From Genesis 1 and the following verse we know that God spoke everything into being. We can even see sound waves in the cosmic microwave background.
On the other hand, I see man as much more than physical, and thus much more than resonance. Adamic man is unique because he has been given the breath of God (neshama):
Grace v Works
Certainly, I agree that we are saved by grace and not by works. If anyone could be good enough to get to heaven, then Christ died for nothing. That is the essential message of Romans 1-8. And it is summarized in Ephesians 2:8-9:
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10:26-31
But there are at least three different views of the significance. To the Calvinists, it cannot happen because a person who truly believes would never willfully defy the Word and thus the warning is to those who profess but do not truly believe. To the Arminians, it means a believer could and would lose their salvation for willfully defying the Word. And to others, the passages mean that a believer who willfully defies God will be burdened with extraordinary suffering in this life.
The bottom line is that professing belief on the one hand and willfully defying the Word on the other is a troubling situation per se. I sincerely, earnestly and urgently pray for anyone in such a predicament.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. - 1 John 2:4
With regard to enlightenment and Christianity, you might find the following verses helpful:
For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame. - Hebrews 6:4-6
so how do you reconcile your admiration of a Greek philosopher over the admonition of St Paul?
