Perfect. Now we have two simultaneous disagreements going. I don’t believe they can close the forum until we both agree on each of these issues.

Do you think Dream ever created a Smite spell? Like from Diablo 2 or World of Warcraft etc.

I wonder how many things he made that he keeps to himself. Which he has the right to do of course but that’s not my point. Sheer curiosity is my point.

It depends on the theology.

There are a few ways to look at it.

The old-school Scholastics don’t want to say anything to downplay God’s power. So, because God loves all creation, He also tempers his love with all of the Divine Virtues. Justice, being one of the virtues, will influence who gets the most complete experience of love.

The worst offenders get little-to-none of it for a very long time lol

Modern theology has been termed “weak theology” because, instead of emphasizing God’s power, it builds a rational theology. So, basically God is seen as a force that makes suggestions rather than exerts an all-powerful force. In this case, evil beings are seen as basically sending themselves to hell for rejecting the good things of God

I like theology… even if you don’t agree with it, 2000 years of refined thought gives some good insights :+1:

what is between modern and old. I mean how you divide those? Someone came and gave ideas and a new era began?

Modern theology isn’t really unified… I was more thinking of the Process Theology of linked to Alfred North Whitehead’s ideas since I think he has done the most rigorous thinking (of the modern thinkers)

Traditional Theology ties back to the Church Fathers (year 500 and earlier) and then the Greek influenced Scholastics (the years 900-1300, mostly). —At least, these are the big ones. And then, if you look at other denominations, the theologians who followed after 1500/1600 are influential

Modern has some influence from the Enlightenment and “Age of Reason”. So they meshed things together like “we believe everything about Jesus in the Bible except for the miracles part”.

That’s just one slice of the whole picture but accurate I believe.

They were considerations from physics/metaphysics.

I don’t know… those are informal designations that I have made.

So many people have a stake in theology, you can label different periods of time in a bunch of different ways.

Each group tends to classify things in a way that is self-serving.

I was mostly breaking things into chunks that could be defined fairly easily by their academic features

yeah I get that a lot when I watch pastors at youtube. Some say this some say that some say all some points another.

But to put you back a bit in a funny mood I saw a guy saying that

“God delivered me from the bible because the bible is just rules” :man_facepalming:

boy you follow or don’t you don’t have to do both
