>>22186191Hell is merely being separated from God. God merely respects the choice of the sinner to be perfected towards sin rather than perfected towards his will, if sin is what they desire.
>>22186127>Also, your comment "strong men with values to step up and lead" makes me suspicious of your motives. Women need to show more interest in men and reciprocate our affection if they want to get married.They say that men test ideas, but that women test men.
You'd actually be surprised at how attractive a man is who is stoic, confident, and well put together. Someone who wakes up on time, does what is necessary, and doesn't give into vice. Women want men to be playful and fun, but we want you to be that way for us, not in general. Think of the way an adult might play with a kid, but then go back to kicking ass in the real world when they're done.
If you want women to take an interest in you, be someone they want to test.
>>22186173The church that Thomas founded in Syria ended up writing the Gospel of Thomas from the Q-source, and they turned into a bunch of gnostics.
The Pauline churches in gaul and Asia-minor were circumcising each other because ministers from Peter's church told them it was necessary for salvation. Peter had to tell Paul's churches to stop adopting the beliefs of the pagans and the gnostics into their worship of God.
The reason why there were so many gnostic and heretical scriptures circulating in ancient Christendom was precisely because there was so much division in the Church. In all those reasons for division, none of them over extremely esoteric mystical dogma like the filioque or the divine essence. Even the Roman Church has a plurality of views on many of these topics that it doesn't dogmatize because it recognizes that some theological concepts are truly unknowable from the deposit of faith we were given.
