You employ the word "history" as slogan that magically supports whatever you want to say, but you don't do any history.maryhelena wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 12:25 am What slogans have I been posting for years ? I'm curious about what specific 'slogans' you found objectionable ?

Re: History trumps Theology
It's just another variation of slinging slogans instead of providing analysis that is the nature of your posting. You're right about one thing. Trying to discuss your slogans is actually pretty boring.

Re: According to Irenaeus, who were the Gnostics?
In book 2, Irenaeus has a reference re: "these same arguments will apply against the followers of Saturninus, Basilides, Carpocrates, and the rest of the Gnostics." This might seem to imply that Saturninus, Basilides, and Carpocrates were gnostics. Birger A. Pearson makes reference to Boo...

Re: The X-Files: Chrēstos / Christos / Χρειστος
Just putting this here so I can look into it later. Origen, Contra Celsum, 4.51 I know, moreover, that Numenius the Pythagorean--a surpassingly excellent expounder of Plato, and who held a foremost place as a teacher of the doctrines of Pythagoras--in many of his works quotes from the writings of M...

Re: Numenius: (1) Agathos, (2) Nous, (3) Demiurge
On the Good by Numenius is such a rich topic. I hope it can be explored further.

Numenius "On the Good": (1) Agathos, (2) Nous, (3) Demiurge
Numenius was a philosopher with an interest in metaphysics, who (among other things) wrote a work in six books titled On the Good . Like other philosophers, he considered that there was some kind of Pythagorean knowledge transmitted to and revealed by the Attic philosophers. The wisdom of Pythagoras...

Re: History trumps Theology
That's funny because you've been posting these slogans for years and now declare a discussion of what they mean or imply "boring."

Re: History trumps Theology
It means what it says. History and theology are not equal methods for the task of understanding the past. Can you provide an example of a time when someone on the forum employed a "method" of "theology" for "understanding the past"? I'm stating a fundamental principle ...
