The Being One

I enjoyed the Greeks and the Medievals for their fiction. But the philosophy seemed non-sensical, angels-dancing-on-a-pin tier.

>angels-dancing-on-a-pin tier.

that's modern philosophy, basically word games devoid of substance, jargon on top of jargon.

>The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.


And this sort of gibberish has been happening since Descartes/Hegel/Kant/Marx/etc decided to take respective dumps on the world.

You have one post to justify Paul's apostle-ship (without a God did it). He destroyed the word of god as it was being uttered.

>why Paul apostle?

His authenticity speaks for itself via his words, his transformation, his actions and understanding. They are all in line with Christ. He went from being a great sinner who persecuted Christians to a Saint doing the will of God, submitting to Christ and writing some of the most illuminated letters in the bible.

Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.


1 Corinthians 13:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

His mind was guided by Christ, this is self-evident to Christs' sheep.
The goats, well, they are in the darkness and the darkness does not comprehend the light. I hope in time you will come to understand too.

As Paul says may "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus."

>Artists have a duty to express truth and do it in beautiful terms.
If everyone did this, the (same) "truth" would become boring and oppressive, and indistinguishable from thought control institutions like Islam and Korea.

>truth and beauty would get boring and opressive

nah, the truth can take on multivariate forms, yet still retain its essence and significance.
Modes of expressions, modes of beauty are infinite as well.

actually it obfuscates the world and philosophers get carried away in justifying, critiquing and arguing about the system and their new jargon.
