Such false impressions are not universal but relative from person to person. Time isn't just sensation, time is real and core part of Einstein's gener...

What's I'm saying is God's mind is not our mind. If time is only sensation in God's mind as you said, then why do we have sense of a time? You also sa...

I think that's essential to esoteric knowledge. Various topics about God speak of God as God only, however essential to esotericism is not to remove t...

Except I didn't "label" @Graveltty because of disagreement with me, but because of contradictory definition of a God. What sense does it make to disto...

Just because you can start punching people on the streets, doesn't mean you would actually do it because you know how that would end. Omnipotence is n...

Good point but doesn't such wisdom lead to "If God is omnipotent let him make stone so heavy it won't be able to raise it again"? Both available solut...

I don't think modern day science can be given same significance as knowledge of good and evil. Science as we know it was born around 16th century and ...

Not necessarily assuming, If definition of God is "omnipotent, omniscient and all benevolent", then there is no reason to assume God would command con...

If exoteric is able to attract so many, then esoteric should reverse it with at least equal power. Figuratively, multiple keys can fit into a keyhole,...

Since religions still exist, does that mean esoteric portion is still unknown to outside world today?

Why not using same perspective toward this problem but from different angle, imagine 2 extremes: 1. Doing everything as God commands 2. Doing everythi...

In other words, why is Genesis written using imagery? why not just telling straight away what happened, why not just telling straight that Adam and Ev...

Because that apple in the garden of Eden was just an ordinary apple, the act of physically eating those apples isn't what's wrong, instead it's disobe...

Even though my belief didn't weaken as much as yours, I do share your scepticism toward those who proclaim the truth blindly and fiercely, it makes th...

You seem to be suggesting that scientific approach gives insights into areas which religious forbids. I think central point in the story of "The Fall ...

I know it is because I'm nervous person. I get angry often but I don't want it.

Isn't being angry is indicative of nervousness more than low EQ?
