RE: Criticism of criticism: The beginning of discussion and argument

in #philosophy • 7 years ago

Very good input there i must confess. But you know philosophers are considered to be lovers of wisdom.

Philosophy also have no rule nor theory.... Everyone is right in their thinking!

Now if you believe so much in that which you have not seen... Just that you were told our you read in the books that it's exist and even if you do not believe is still your take and responsibility but not totally your doing.

The law existentialism suggests that we are responsible for our doing but what about that which happens to us? Is obvious that no matter who we are and how we try, there are still things that are beyond our control.

I will also like to let you know that believing or not believing in the unmovable mover is not totally your doing. It's has to do with your exposure and experience. In other words it's still not you believing but the believe chooses you to believe it

    See my question; what does it cost you to believe or not to believe? If nothing for the both, he who believes is smatter because it costs him nothing to believe, and he might later gain if what he believes is real. But if what he believed is not real at the end of the day, it still costs him nothin. But he who does not believe might regret because of the consequences that might come if what he did not believe was true and real

      This is what i want you to know. Maybe i should say it from the bible itself which is the foundation of your the knowledge of what you believe or think you believe

      Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

      This was what Christ said the Peter. This means that it's not of your doing that you believe. What you believe choose you to believe and you can not stop believing in it because it's not within your power to do so.

      Same way it is to those who do not believe. They do not choose not to believe but that which they do not believe gave not choose them.

      I also know the saying that God does not choose the perfect but he perfect him that he choses.

      So what's your criticism?

        You are right. You are one of the few persons I have seen that have this revelation with me. Let me compliment your coment better;

        Apostle Paul wrote in ROMANS 9:10-18;
        "This son was our ancestor Isaac. When he married Rebekah, she gave birth to twins. But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.” In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.” Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.” So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. For the Scriptures say that God told Pharaoh, “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying my power in you and to spread my fame throughout the earth.” So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen."

          Very true. So at least we have come to a point of no criticism which is another criticism. How can we have same revelation and understanding/believe of a thing that were just told but not seen,

          How can we not criticize the things that look true to us? How come we are not bothered that we have come to believe?
