Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine?

  Unironically the question by witch many faith differs: does God needs abide to the rules of logic or not?

  For the Roman Catholic, yes, for Calvinists and a bunch other (ok, many other but I’m not an expert), no.

    Answer: whatever causes the person you’re arguing with to throw their hands up and storm off more exasperated…

      No, not really, it’s mostly a matter of power.

      The Church itself is rooted in the idea that there are autorities on matter of faith and they adopted the Platinical Agostinean idea that faith is empowered by reason. Reason being a valid tool means you have experts that reasoned a lot about religion and people that know less and needs to be taught, ultimately by the Pope.

      The “other” side tends to reject authorities, and take the words of the bible as sobjected to personal interpretation or, to an extent, make it into some sort of magical object that the faithfull subjects itself to, without questions. Accepting the contradictions, the illogal parts, are what that kind of faith is about because to question (throught reasoning) God is a Sin.

    Ah theologians. When we invented agriculture so that not everyone had to work on gathering food, this enabled some of us to specialize in advanced skills. But theology, wow. What a waste of time. Get those dudes out in the fields.

      There’s a reason the French beheaded the clergy alongside the nobility.

        This isn’t Calvinism. This is prosperity theology, which is it’s own thing.

  The easiest answer to this is yes, he could create a stone he couldn’t lift. And then he could lift it anyway.

    Actually the easiest answer is “no” because it doesn’t require cognitive dissonance.

      There’s no cognitive dissonance in negating a false negative

      • PapaStevesy@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        What false negative? If he can lift it then he didn’t create a stone he can’t lift. Can he make one plus one equal anything other than two?

  Well Jesus, yes. Because Jesus let Himself die as well.
