so dogma is like a postulate, it doesn't have to be proven to be right, however, some people don't believe its right, its not universal law. the more i read about a postulate online, away from school, its exactly like a postulate
and i know your not trying to sway my faith, its just i have to be careful with how much i learn. its not you its the whole learning process that can sway faith, which can confuse the mind, which can put me into sort of a gnosis state, which i believe is forbidden in Christianity, its too dangerous, in my eyes.
so, occults aren't religion or science, it is, again, esoteric.
about sigils. this is what i get from it, they are only used to reinforce your prayers, ill use it in terms i can put it in >.< its used to reinforce faith until your faith is strong enough you don't have to use them anymore. faith being what your trying to accomplish.
I'm going to get ready for tonight, im going to a party. so I'll talk later this is fun, mainly because my head isn't exploding like it normally would be.

Quote:My personal view is that the Bible carries a great degree of truth, but that the truth is often written in parable form (not intended to be taken literally, but a moral can be uncovered if a sufficient understanding of the impetus behind the parable is discovered).agreed. but i do believe more than you probably.

Quote:and any thought outside of these meta-paradigms is, as you've accurately described from a Christian point of view, considered either ignorant or heretical.from most christian point of views yes, but I do believe you can learn from going outside these "walls" because its a good learning experience, but you just have to be careful.
