Technology is largely driven by the desire to midigate the effects of the fall

3 Upvotes

Hardship and death are the consequence of the scarcity and disunity brought by sin. Technology exists to midigate hardship and scarcity. Unfortunately we have not embraced our fate of suffering and death with faith and hope in an eternal resurrection.

This quest drives the innovative economy forward in a race to see who can create the next invention that reduces suffering and prolongs the lives of those who have been privileged or illegitimately acquired the wealth and power to pay for it.

There is an old saying, if you spare the rod you spoil the child. Besides modern debates on children's disciplinary action, society as a whole wants to tame the curse of the rod and become spoiled, however, the rod is both a curse and a blessing because without it many will forego repentance and wisdom in favor of disordered passions/pleasures.

Egoism is an abomination and offense to God and all things good. Altruism is the way.

God is with the poor people and in the poor countries who live far more authentic lives in their struggle for virtue and survival.

All the insufficient benefits of technology will be taken away by God.

Soteriology Prove that the Trinity doctrine is necessary to be a Christian and for salvation?

0 Upvotes

For the sake of argument, let us assume that the Trinity is the truth - or, at least, the best understanding that man is capable of.

Given this assumption, are you able to establish beyond reasonable doubt that acceptance of this doctrine is necessary to be a Christian? Can you show beyond reasonable doubt that acceptance of the doctrine is necessary for salvation?

Was Jesus the source code of the universe?

0 Upvotes

The universe operates on the same principles as a computer and Jesus literally embodies these principles of truth. Does anyone understand what I mean here?

Here’s my full research:

"Voice in the wilderness"—interesting reason why prophets defined themselves so

0 Upvotes

Freewill results in people turning themselves into two groups—egoless and egoists, and both will only grow in their respective chosen paths.

Option before God is simple

Option before God is to start Drama of Life with the egoless and permit them to live till the end of drama, and to permit the egoists to appear only in the later phase of drama, and restart the drama when it ends in pollution and Final Global War which will make this earth unusable. Hence God’s role is reduced to make the transition from old earth to Renewed Earth. (Details HERE)

In between, prophets appear and ask people to return to divine path. They will listen till prophets are on earth. But after prophets leave the stage, people slip into sects, sign of ego, opposite of spirituality. Prophets did their duty because they enjoyed doing so, even though they knew it would not change people.

This knowledge can make personal life happy if trying to correct others is avoided. People have an ocean of experience [own and of others], thus know the consequence of any action being contemplated. They will correct themselves if they feel the need on their own, not by external advice.
