POW:
That's bad logic, and marginal piety (against conscience). Sorry.

My brother, you are definitely welcome to your perspective. I don't see it that way.

Peace of Jesus to you!

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Therefore (YOU) go and introduce all peoples into the Way, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and intstructing them in following everything I have commanded you. (Great Commandments!)

And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age."

even if you opt to describe God through purely negative terms you still end up affirming something positive about him ...

No surprise.

Are you less against the use (not totality) of negative statements, Tom?

Fine, use the labels. But know that they only mean anything to you. I could care less if some position I have reason to be convinced of makes me more "western" than "easter" or visa-versa.

I responded to your comments to D because they were about me ("not sure Tom is with you in all that" and "Tom would see more in this quote than you mean it to say"). Just wanted to clarify my point of view about me--I "am" with D in all that (contrary to your expectations) and I don't mean more than D meant in his summary of my view which you quoted (contrary to your expectations).

Sorry to interrupt you D.
Tom

Negative propositions are great! They're meaningful and helpful ways of describing God.

By the way, POW, I wasn't "ranting."

Since I'm in a fun, Christmasy state of mind, I won't ask you to not use this forum as a platform to lecture me.

Thank you,
Tom

Labels mean nothing. Nor the boxes they are on.

It was the collections within the boxes and the comments and comparisons D. had made that I was referencing.

Fine with me for you to respond ESPECIALLY when you are mentioned. Glad to have you do so.

Just don't say to me that the collections are off-base when it is not me who put them up for examination and comparison.

Peace.
